21/3/2007 15:31 PIDEN A LA OMS QUE NO SE ALMACENE


El suicidio de varios jóvenes y la muerte de al menos 15 niños en Japón tratados con oseltamivir, principio activo del antigripal Tamiflu, recomendado contra la gripe aviaria, ha desatado la alerta entre los farmacólogos independientes, que han pedido a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) que detenga su recomendación de almacenamiento.

El oseltamivir (Tamiflu), de reciente comercialización en España, se promueve para el tratamiento y la prevención de la gripe, aunque, según denuncia la Unión Internacional de Boletines Independientes sobre Medicamentos (ISDB), que agrupa a más de medio centenar de boletines farmacológicos de todo el mundo, su eficacia en el tratamiento de la gripe es modesta, y se desconoce si tiene alguna eficacia en la gripe aviaria.

El Butlletí Groc, que edita la Fundació Institut Català de Farmacologia, un órgano independiente de los laboratorios farmacéuticos y de las administraciones sanitarias, también ha alertado de esta situación.

Trastornos del comportamiento

El director de la Fundació y consultor de la OMS Joan Ramon Laporte ha explicado que la alerta se ha disparado en los últimos días en Japón, donde más se ha consumido este fármaco, hasta el punto de que el Gobierno ha prohibido a los médicos prescribir Tamiflu a los menores de 10 años tras varios casos de acciones suicidas de jóvenes nipones que lo estaban tomando.

Para este farmacólogo, el Tamiflu puede producir trastornos digestivos como náuseas, vómitos y dolor abdominal. Asimismo, se han descrito algunos casos de reacciones cutáneas graves como síndrome de Stevens-Johnson y angioedema, arritmias y convulsiones. Sin embargo, ahora parece que puede causar trastornos del comportamiento que han conducido en varios casos al suicidio, especialmente entre los adolescentes, "a los que vuelve como locos", tal y como mantiene Laporte.

Más de 30 muertes

El consultor de la OMS ha añadido que a raíz de los casos notificados de trastornos del comportamiento con resultado de suicidio en dos adolescentes tratados con oseltamivir, la FDA (ministerio de Salud de EEUU) ya ha alertado sobre el riesgo de efectos adversos neuropsiquiátricos.

Poco después --añade Laporte--, la notificación dos nuevos casos mortales en Japón ha originado una mayor preocupación, que ha desembocado en una verdadera alerta al conocerse en las últimas horas que en total 38 personas tratadas con Tamiflu, 15 de ellas de menos de 5 años, habían fallecido de forma repentina.

Contra la gripe aviaria

Hasta el momento, se ha constatado el comportamiento suicida de cuatro adolescentes japoneses mientras se encontraban bajo los efectos del Tamiflu, los cuales saltaron al vacío desde los pisos superiores de sus viviendas, con el resultado de dos muertos y dos heridos.

Laporte recuerda que ante el riesgo de una posible epidemia de gripe aviaria, gobiernos de todo el mundo encargaron millones de dosis de Tamiflú para detener su posible expansión en humanos, un fármaco que ahora está muy cuestionado.

QUANDO TODA A GENTE SABE QUE A GRIPE H1N1 NAO É NADA ALARMANTE, ATÉ PORQUE O INVERNO NOS PAÍSES DO EMISFÉRIO SUL JÁ PASSOU, FICANDO A EXPERIÊNCIA DA SUA PERIGOSIDADE (SUAVE) COM A AGRAVANDE DE O VIRUS TER TIDO INICIO DE PROPAGAÇAO NA AMÉRICA DO SUL, EIS QUE NOS SURGE O DOUTOR SEM DOUTORAMENTO A INCENTIVAR A VACINAÇAO CONTRA O DITO VIRUS.

SR. DJOKINHA, TENHA JUIZO.

PARA ALÉM DISSO, POR MAIS PROPAGANDA QUE FAÇA À VACINAÇAO (VEJO QUE ESTÁ COMPLETAMENTE AMERICANIZADO DADO O NIVEL DE PANICO QUE O PERTURBA), ACHA QUE OS MENINOS NA GUINÉ-BISSAU SERAO VACINADOS CONTRA O DITO VIRUS?

PORQUE NAO FAZ USO DO SEU DITO ASTRONÓMICO ORDENADO E COMPRA UMAS POUCAS VACINAS PARA ENVIAR PARA LÁ?
OU MELHOR, DESLOQUE-SE PESSOALMETE E VACINE OS PUTOS QUE TANTO PRECISAM.

ENTENDO QUE É MELHOR FICAR EM CASA COM UM HAMBURGUER E UMA COCA-COLA EN FRENTE À TV A VER OS LAKER'S. ENFIM.....JÁ VIU BEM A SUA FIGURA NA FOTO? POR CÁ NINGUÉM ANDA NESSA FIGURA. ANDA A TENTAR IMPRESSIONAR QUEM?

2. Foi com enorme tristeza mas sem grande surpresa que li na secção “EDITORIAL” deste espaço, as ameaças dirigidas a um colaborador regular deste site, feitas por um tal senhor Paulo César Buscardini, a ponto de este se disponibilizar a encontrar com o seu interlocutor. Entristece-me a falta de cultura democrática demonstrada pelo senhor César que, em vez de usar argumentos civilizados, opta por proferir ameaças à integridade física de um conterrâneo. Como referi, não me espanta, no entanto, a iniciativa do senhor em causa. Estas jogadas são típicas de quem ao longo dos últimos 27 anos, tem estado ao serviço do senhor General. Só que o Paulo tem azar. Esqueceu-se de que não estamos na Guine, onde, infelizmente se aproveita da falta de iluminação eléctrica para ceifar vida a compatriotas. Na obra 'A Condição Humana', não a de André Malraux mas a de Hannah Arendt, esta deixa bem claro a distinção que se deve estabelecer entre a Esfera Privada (a propriedade) e a Esfera Pública (o comum), ou seja, o Social e o Privado. Não me vou alongar nisto, até porque o senhor Paulo César Buscardini com certeza não vai entender. Mas não se deve cair na tentação de expor a vida privada das pessoas como este senhor tentou fazer ao Senhor I. V. Ao tentar molestar outrem, tudo o que o senhor César, servidor de interesses ocultos faz é revelar a sua própria impreparação. Bom senso recomenda-se.

OS SÍMBOLOS DA REPÚBLICA DA GUINÉ-BISSAU DEVEM SER REAVALIADOS! 15.08.2009

By Armando Quadé.

In any democracy, it should be a basic understanding that a party's symbols should not be confused, be mixed or be taken for the national symbol. Following this logic, I absolutely agree that PAIGC symbols should not be the same as our national symbols. And, the changes to make a clear distinction, particularly in the symbols of these two different entities, are long over due.

But, I categorically reject the notion that we, as a country/people, should create new national symbols (flag, national anthem, emblems, etc.) that would be different from the current ones. I believe our current national symbols, including the five letters (P.A.I.G.C.), are some of the most important pieces of our history. As so, these must be kept (and be part our national curriculum system) to teach new generations about the struggles...to win our independence from our colonial master, to prevent indifferent attitudes towards our common history and, to keep reminding the world and those shameful...of our small but exemplar contribution to the liberation of Africa and mankind in general.

First of all and understandably so, if these national symbols are solely associated with the PAIGC party, the people in the other parties (for instance, PRS or PADEC) would not be keen to honour and celebrate what those symbols represent because it would enhance the prestige of the former. As well as any citizen who is an independent (from the electoral process or not) or any person who simply despises the PAIGC party for whatever reason would not hold the symbols dearly, as it should be. But most importantly as the stories (of the different battles and so on) of our national liberation are yet to be officiated/written, focus and unbiased conclusion of the events...reached by our national historians are crucial to do justice to those men and women who were part of these events in our history. For instance, an indifferent historian (because of his or her lack of sympathy for PAIGC party, assuming that the symbols are associated with this party) would not approach the subject matter...in an enthusiastic and objective manner, as opposed to if our current national symbols were not linked to this party. Therefore to avoid any kind of sentiment of uncaring towards our common history, our current national symbols should not be associated to one political party only. Otherwise, there would not be a great deal of sentiment of pride and national unity when it is time to honour our national symbols.

Second, as in any struggle for freedom/human liberation, in order for the next generations to understand, appreciate and protect their status as “free people,” they should absolutely and always be reminded of the sacrifices and the “price” older generations had paid to be freed. The new generations in our country also need to be constantly reminded about the sacrifices people who came before them had made... Let it be through many forms, especially through our current national symbols. For God's sake, if there is anything those brave men and women who had sacrificed their lives for our independence would love to hear, it is the telling of their bravery and sacrifices to our young people... And, what is the better way to do that more than the use of the great symbolism they have left us with?! So, our current national symbols are very important instruments for teaching our young brothers and sisters about the precious gifts of freedom they have inherited from an eleven years of bravery and sacrifices. Associating these symbols to one party would mean they cannot be legally used in our school system, which in turn will translate into lost history. And as the old saying goes, “people who don't know where they came from certainly will not know where they are going.”

Third and finally, our arm struggle for our independence as well as for the people of Cap-Vert was paradigm and well known in the entire world, especially in Africa. We were known as the first former colony in Africa to successfully fight and win our independence unconditionally. Yes, this is more than something to be proud of. We should be celebrating this remarkable accomplishment made by our brave and courageous people... Furthermore, we should continue to remind the world, especially Africans, that, yes we have a small and yet undeveloped nation but, we were ones in the fore-front of human evolution, from subjugation to liberation. And, we can still catch up and be active again in a different kind of...evolution because we once proved to be people of great strength, great capacity, and great resilience. So, I can only feel pity to whoever is not proud of this accomplishment in our history... Nonetheless, again our current national symbols, especially “Sumbia de Amilcal Cabral” can be perfectly used to remind the world who we are (as we used to be known for our bravery, for our capacity to adapt and evolve, for our persistence to reach the stated goal, etc, all through “Sumbia de Cabral”). Therefore, linking this particular symbol to PAIGC, as a party, can only discourage people who identified with other parties from using and being recognised as people of “Sumbia de Cabral...” Hence, all the great things we were known to be would simply be forgotten...or basically be minimised even in our own eyes...

I dare to say that Guinea-Bissau contemporary history started from September 19, 1956 with the foundation of PAIGC, as a liberation party... PAIGC was also the party that gave us our first national identity as free and self-ruled people...etc. So, because of these unique/unparalleled/unprecedented/extraordinary and profound influence this party has had in the creation and the shaping of our young republic for almost the past 50 years, most of the party symbols until now have always been reasonably so regarded by majority of our population as our national symbols. And, those symbols are still held dearly by these people who do not necessarily sympathise with the current PAIGC, as a political and democratic party. Hence, any attempt to create new national symbols different from the ones derived from PAIGC, the liberation party, would not only render injustice for our national heroes who have long gone...but, it would also discourage the majority of our citizens, again who may not be associated with the current PAIGC but were or whose families were part of the creation of these historic symbols, to have any king of affinity to these symbols again. However, I believe it would be repetitive/futile to even attempt to address those who are insensitive to the different reality that was/is Cape-Verde in relation to Guinea-Bissau and are always quick to jump into making false/unparalleled comparisons between these two countries. But, referring to the premise that Cape-Verde has changed their national symbols...so should have done Guinea-Bissau...I would only say this: yes Cape-Verde has changed or would like to change or forget about a lot of things in their history, including the history of slavery this nation was founded upon. So, nothing Cape-Verdians do to distance themselves from their past/reality is surprising... However, the most important thing for us, as Bissau-Guineans, is to choose not to forget our past so the path will be cleared to where we choose to end up. That means, keeping all the symbols derived from PAIGC, the liberation party including the name---P.A.I.G.C, as our national symbols and legally asking PAIGC, the political and democratic party to use their “creative minds” to create new symbols for their party, including the party name. Here is a suggestion... PADGB (Partido Africano Democratico de Guiné-Bissau)!

Nota: nao sou Nacionalista e nem tao pouco Cabralista.
