Genç hekimin Soner Yalçın'a mektubu üzerine

medikritik Çar, 27/11/2019 - 10:31

Eren Öztürk’ün “Kara Kutu” ile ilgili Soner Yalçın eleştirisini okuyunca insanın zayıflamış umutları depreşiyor. Bilimsel ve sosyal konularda pek çok akademisyenin ilgi ve bilgi düzeyini gördükçe, bir tıp öğrencisinden böyle nitelikli bir yazı okumak sevindirici bir şey. Yalnızca ilgi, bilgi ve duyarlılık yok, aynı zamanda dili ve kurgusuyla da iyi bir makale. 

Aşılar konusundan başlarsak: Önce son 100-120 yıldır insanın yaşam süresi neden bu kadar devrimsel oranda uzadı sorusunu sormak gerekir. Bunu birçok başka kitap dışında özellikle Dr. Akif Akalın’ın çevirdiği ve yazdığı “toplumcu tıp” kitaplarından öğreniyoruz. İnsan yaşamının uzamasında ilk büyük sıçramayı yaratan şey, tıpla doğrudan bağlı görülmeyecek, ama göbekten bağlı bir gelişmedir. İngiltere ve Batı Avrupa’da geniş yoksul kesimlerin yaşadığı semtlere temiz su ve kanalizasyon götürülmesi! O mahallerin ve o evlerin en temel düzeyde sağlıklı hale getirilmesi… 

İnsanın ortalama yaşamında devrimsel oranda sıçrama yaratan öteki iki şey ise 1- Antibiyotikler, 2- Aşılardır. İşte Soner Yalçın’ın bilerek ya da bilmeden saldırdığı iki şey sosyal tıbbın ya da halk sağlığının en büyük iki silahıdır. 

Soner Yalçın’ın antibiyotikler hakkında söylediği birçok şey gerçi doğru. Son elli yıldır leblebi çekirdek gibi tüketilmesi, gerek vatandaşın, gerekse doktor ve eczacıların aşırı ve kötüye kullanımları ciddi sorunlar yaratmakta. Ancak zaten o konuda, beğenmediğimiz devlet bile ciddi önlemler alıyor. Sayın Soner Yalçın her konuda olduğu gibi bu konuda da bazı temel doğrularla birtakım kulaktan dolma yanlış bilgileri ve şehir efsanelerini harmanlayarak ilgi uyandırmayı seçiyor. Ne var ki bu taktik o bahsettiği doğruları itibarsızlaştırıyor.  Birtakım ilaçların yan etkilerinden dolayı sonradan yasaklanması, ilaç şirketlerinin aşırı kâr hırsıyla insan sağlığını riske atması, yaşanan gerçekler. Fakat tüm bunlar uyanıklığı, sorguyu, sosyalist bir tıp anlayışını doğurmalı. İlaçlara karşı genel bir güvensizliğe, tüm antibiyotiklerin “tu-kaka” ilan edilmesine yol açmamalı. Bilimin sorunları o bilim ne kadar yolundan sapsa da bilim içinde çözülmeli. 

Eren Öztürk’ün “modern tıbbın sorunlarının” “modern tıp dışı yöntemlerle” nasıl çözüldüğüne, daha doğrusu çözülemediğine dair yaklaşımı ve örnekleri gayet yerinde. 

Aşı muhalifliği ise bu çözümsüzlüğün en uç, en sorumsuz noktası. Fakat elbette aşılar da bilimsel anlamda tartışılmalı, onun da aşırı ve kötüye kullanımları önlenmeli. Ne var ki özellikle bizim gibi ülkelerde bu konu kişisel inisiyatiflere asla bırakılmamalı. Çünkü salgın hastalıklar kişisel ve özel karar alanları değildir. Öztürk’ün belirttiği gibi aşıları daha önce yapabildiğimiz gibi kendimiz üretmeliyiz. Sadece aşıları değil mevcut ilaçları ve yeni bulacağımız ilaçları da ülke olarak kendimiz üretebilmeliyiz. Soner Yalçın’ın da uyarısı doğrultusunda ilaç kalitelerini sürekli denetleyebilmeliyiz. Tüm bunlar hem doğrudan ölüm-kalım meselesidir, hem maliyet hesapları, ilaca ulaşılabilirlik ve ülke bağımsızlığı ile ilgili temel sorunlardır. 

İKİ İTİRAZIM VAR

Fakat değerli Öztürk’e iki noktada itirazım var. Biri gebelerde şeker yükleme testi ile ilgili. Epey bir süredir bu konuyu tartışıyoruz, “şeker yüklemeci” doktor arkadaşlar henüz beni ikna edebilmiş, sorularıma tatmin edici bir cevap vermiş değiller. Bilimsel iddiadaki argümanları şu: Gebelerde diyabet ortaya çıkacaksa kritik bir 5-6 haftalık dönemde çıkma olasılığı yüksekmiş. İşte o dönemde yapılan şeker yükleme testi ile erken tanı sağlanabiliyormuş. Gebenin ve ceninin sağlığı bu şekilde korunuyormuş. Peki bu kritik 5-6 haftalık dönemin son gününü nasıl saptayıp o günde test yapıyorlar? Hiç de öyle bir şey yapmıyor, herhangi bir günde yapıyorlar. O halde test yapıldıktan sonraki günlerde, haftalarda diyabet ortaya çıkarsa ne olacak? Üstelik diyabet illa o en yüksek olasılıklı dönemde çıkmayabilir, sonraki haftalarda da çıkabilir. Şeker yüklemesi negatif çıkan gebe bu yöntemle demek ki kendini sağlıklı sayacak ve aylarca diyabetle birlikte yaşayacak. Oysa bunun yerine önerdiğimiz şey son derece ucuz bir seçenek olarak açlık kan şekeri düzeyi ölçümünün gebelik boyunca birkaç haftada bir yinelenmesi. Ayda bir de hemoglobin A-1c ölçümü yapılırsa iş taçlanır. Ancak sadece şeker ölçümü bile yeterli. Uygulanırsa çok daha iyi sonuçlar alınabilir. 

Testte verilen ve o “az” denen şeker miktarı hiç de az değil ve kadın doğum uzmanlarının vermeyi pek sevdiği “bir dilim pasta” örneği yanıltıcı. Miktar hem fazla ve hem de bir dilim pastadan çok farklı bir içerik söz konusu. Üstelik bu test sıkça gördüğümüz gibi bir kez değil, birçok kez de yapılabiliyor. Yüklemeyle diyabeti gösteren miktar neden kendi başına diyabeti tetiklemesin? Modern tıbbın başta radyolojik tetkikler olmak üzere sıklıkla kötüye kullandığı tüm agresif tetkik yöntemleri sorgulanmalı. 

Bazı ülkeler bu yöntemi uygulamıyor. Örneğin toplum sağlığında örnek ülke Küba’da sadece riskli gebelere uygulanıyor ve o bile tartışılıyor. 

İkinci itiraz noktam ise değerli Öztürk’ün şu sözüne: “Emin olun, ilaç endüstrisi en çok sağlık camiasında eleştiriliyor.” Keşke öyle olsaydı. Bizler “Tıp Bu Değil” kitaplarının yazarları olarak bu konuları yıllardır gündeme getirmeye çalıştığımız halde üstünü en çok örten, en çok görmezden gelen, gargaraya getirmeye çalışan doktorlar ve sağlıkçılar oldu. Doğrudur, birtakım siyasi bildirilerde, TTB’nin kimi söylemlerinde yoğun bir anti-kapitalizm var gibi… Ama sadece “gibi”. Biz on yıllardır mücadele ediyoruz, hekimler hem de “muhalif” hekimler arasında ne aşırı tetkike, ne aşırı teşhise, ne aşırı tedaviye hevesi önleyebildik ne de koruyucu hekimliğe, sosyal tıbba bir eğilim yaratabildik. 

Çok ağır ve neredeyse hakarete varan eleştirilerimize karşın hala medikal şirketler sponsorluğunda kongreler dışında “bilimsel kongre” yok gibi… Ve hekimler bireysel olarak ve de örgütsel anlamda uzmanlık dernekleri ve onlardan aidat alan TTB vasıtasıyla bundan nemalanmaya devam ediyorlar. Böyle bir ortamda bilim ve bilimsel tartışma ne derece güçlenebilir? 

Hüsnüniyetin (iyiye yorma ve yorumlamanın) karşılığını gerçekte bulmasını elbette tüm kalbimizle dileriz. Konuya bu yaşta Eren Öztürk gibi nitelikli bakanların sayısı arttıkça belki o günleri göreceğiz. O konuda genç sağlıkçılara, doktorlara büyük iş düşüyor. 

Yine de tıp ve sağlık işleri sadece doktorların konuşacağı bir tabu değildir. Öztürk belirtmiş: Toplum da bilinçlenmeli ve bilinçli hastalar istiyoruz. Akalın’ın sık yinelediği gibi: “Sağlık sadece doktorlara bırakılamayacak kadar ciddi bir konudur.” Toplum, halk bilinçlenmeli, örgütlenmeli, kendi sağlığı için baskı gücü oluşturmalı. Devlete karşı, politikacılara karşı ve tabii doktorlara karşı da bir baskı gücü oluşturmalı. Örneğin güçlü biçimde şu sesi yükseltebilmeli: “Sigaraya karşı büyük kampanyalar ve devamlı bir karşı propaganda yapıyorsunuz. Güzel ve doğru. Ama o konuda gerçekten samimiyseniz fabrikaların baca filtresiz çalışmasına nasıl izin veriyorsunuz?” 

Bunu diyecek kitle Soner Yalçın kitaplarıyla oluşmaz. Aksine oluşacağı varsa da oluşmaz.

Ruby Williams’ birthday was not your average 18th. She celebrated it on the Klamath River, with a group of young people making a historic journey paddling from the river’s headwaters in southern Oregon to its mouth in the Pacific Ocean, just south of Crescent City, California. It marked the first time in a century that the descent has been possible, after the recent removal of four dams allowed the river to flow freely.
[url=https://kra36-cc.com]kraken36 at[/url]
Williams, together with fellow paddler Keeya Wiki, 17, spoke to CNN on day 15 of their month-long journey, which they are due to complete on Friday. At this point, they had just 141 miles (227 kilometers) of the 310-mile (499 kilometer) journey left to go and had already passed through some of the most challenging rapids, such as those at the “Big Bend” and “Hell’s Corner” sections of the river.

https://kra-36--at.ru
Both were exhausted and hadn’t showered in days — although they promised they “aren’t completely feral.” However, despite tired minds, they were steadfast in their commitment.
“We are reclaiming our river, reclaiming our sport,” said Williams.

“We are getting justice,” Wiki, who is from the Yurok Tribe, added. “And making sure that my people and all the people on the Klamath River can live how we’re supposed to.”

The Klamath River runs deep in the cultures of the native peoples living in its basin, who historically used dugout canoes to travel along it. They view it as a living person, a relative, who they can depend on — and in turn protect.

“It’s our greatest teacher, our family member,” said Williams, who is from the Karuk Tribe, which occupies lands along the middle course of the Klamath. “We revolve ceremonies around it, like when the salmon start running (the annual migration from the sea back to freshwater rivers to spawn), we know it’s time to start a family.”

Historically, it was also a lifeline, providing them with an abundance of fish. The Klamath was once the third-largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast of the US. But between 1918 and 1966, electric utility company California Oregon Power Company (which later became PacifiCorp), built a series of hydroelectric dams along the river’s course, which cut off the upstream pathway for migrating salmon, and the tribes lost this cultural and commercial resource.
For decades, native people — such as the Karuk and Yurok tribes — demanded the removal of the dams and restoration of the river. But it was only in 2002, after low water levels caused a disease outbreak that killed more than 30,000 fish, that momentum really started to build for their cause.

Twenty years later, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission finally approved a plan to remove four dams on the lower Klamath River. This was when Paddle Tribal Waters was set up by the global organization Rios to Rivers to reconnect native children to the ancient river. Believing that native peoples ought to be the first to descend the newly restored river, the program started by teaching local kids from the basin how to paddle in whitewater. Wiki and Williams were among them — neither had kayaked before then.

When British traders landed on India’s shores in the 1600s, they arrived in search of spices and silk but stayed for centuries – leaving behind a legacy that would shape the nation long after their colonial exploitation ended: the English language.

Over the centuries, English seeped into the very fabric of Indian life – first as a tool of commerce, then as the language of law and, eventually, a marker of privilege.
[url=https://trip36.win]сайт трипскан[/url]
Now, after more than a decade of Hindu-nationalist rule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is mounting perhaps the most significant challenge yet to the language’s place in India.

“Those who speak English will soon feel ashamed,” Home Minister Amit Shah said last month, igniting a heated debate about national identity and social mobility in the polyglot nation of 1.4 billion.

While Shah did not mention India’s former colonial masters, he declared that “the languages of our country are the jewels of our culture” – and that without them, “we cease to be truly Indian.”

Spoken behind the walls of colonial forts and offices, English in India was at first the language of ledgers and treaties.

But as British rule expanded from the ports of Gujarat to the palaces of Delhi, it became the lingua franca of the colonial elite.

At independence, India faced a dilemma. With hundreds of languages and dialects spoken across its vast landscape, its newly appointed leaders grappled with the question of which one should represent the new nation.

Hindi, the predominant language in the north, was put forward as a candidate for official language.

But strong resistance from non-Hindi-speaking regions – especially in the south – meant English would remain only as a temporary link to unite the country. It’s a legacy that endures to this day – and still rankles some.

“I subscribe to the view that English is the language of the colonial masters,” Pradeep Bahirwani, a retired corporate executive from the southern city of Bengaluru, said, adding: “Our national language should be a language which… has got roots in India.”

According to Cook, having multiple meteor showers occur at the same time is a common phenomenon. “For example, during the Perseids, you have the remnants of the Southern Delta Aquariids going on,” he said.
[url=https://kra36at.net]kraken36[/url]
Right now, the Alpha Capricornids, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Perseids are all active and while the Perseids is not at its peak , you might still see some of its meteors this week. There’s also the possibility of seeing 10 to 12 meteors that aren’t associated with any of these showers, according to Lunsford.
kra36
https://kra-36--cc.ru
Both the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids become visible annually when Earth passes through debris fields left by two Jupiter-family comets: 169P/NEAT (Alpha Capricornids) and P2008/Y12 (Southern Delta Aquariids). Cook also noted that, each year, “we’re passing closer to the core of the material that produces (the Alpha Capricornids) shower and in 200 years, it’ll be the strongest shower that’s visible from Earth. It’ll actually produce more than 1,000 (meteor streaks) an hour, which is quite a bit stronger than it is now.”

For those interested in contributing to astronomers’ understanding of meteors, this week presents the perfect opportunity to count how many meteors you see in the night sky and report them to places like the American Meteor Society.

Upcoming Meteor Showers
Here are the other meteor showers to anticipate in 2025 and their peak dates, according to the American Meteor Society and EarthSky.

Perseids: August 12-13
Draconids: October 8-9
Orionids: October 22-23
Southern Taurids: November 3-4
Northern Taurids: November 8-9
Leonids: November 16-17
Geminids: December 12-13
Ursids: December 21-22

Lunar and solar eclipses in 2025
Two eclipse events will occur as summer ends.

A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, parts of eastern South America, Alaska and Antarctica on September 7 and 8, according to Time and Date.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes exactly between the sun and the moon, throwing the latter into shadow and making it appear darker or dimmed.

When the moon sits in the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, the sun’s rays bend around Earth and refract light on the moon’s surface, which gives it a reddish hue, according to London’s Natural History Museum. Some people call the result a “blood moon.”

Two weeks after the total lunar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Australia, the Atlantic, the Pacific and Antarctica on September 21.

Solar eclipses occur when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, blocking part of the sun’s surface from view, according to NASA. This creates a crescent shape — as if something took a “bite” out of the sun.

Sky-gazers may get a good chance to see fireballs streak across the night sky this week. Two meteor showers — the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids — will reach their peak and another is ramping up.
[url=https://at-kra36.cc]kra36[/url]
The Alpha Capricornids meteor shower, which is best known for producing very bright meteors called fireballs that may look like shooting stars, will be most visible at 1 a.m. ET Wednesday, according to Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the American Meteor Society. Its radiant — the point at which the meteor streaks seem to originate — is in the Capricorn constellation.
https://kra-36.com
kraken36.at
The Alpha Capricornids are visible all over the world but are usually best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, in places such as Australia and Africa, according to Bill Cooke, the lead for NASA’s Meteoroid Environments Office. These meteors are expected to appear at a rate of three to five per hour. If you are viewing from the Northern Hemisphere, keep your eyes low along the southern sky to catch a glimpse.

If you stay up later, you’ll be able to see the Southern Delta Aquariids reach peak activity at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesday, said Lunsford. The Southern Delta Aquariids, which also are most visible in the Southern Hemisphere, make for a stronger shower than the Capricornids; people located in parts of the Northern Hemisphere such as the US can expect to view up to 10 to 15 meteors per hour, while those in the Southern Hemisphere may see 20 to 25 per hour.
The Aquariids appear to stream from the southern part of the Aquarius constellation, which is around 40 degrees east of the Capricorn constellation, according to Lunsford: “They’re going to kind of do a battle, shooting back and forth at each other.”

Both showers will be visible through August 13, though there is some disagreement about the date on which their peaks will occur. While experts at the American Meteor Society say peak activity will occur Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, those at NASA say it will happen Wednesday night going into Thursday.

“The time of a meteor shower peak is not constant from year-to-year. It can vary by plus or minus a day or two,” Cooke said.

But missing the peak, according to Lunsford, is nothing to fret about. “It’s not a real sharp peak …You can go out (on) the 31st or the 29th and see pretty much the same activity.”

For the best viewing, avoid areas with bright lights and objects that could obscure your view of the sky, such as tall trees or buildings. Picking a spot with a higher altitude, like a mountain or hill, may make it easier to spot these showers.

Just when we thought the Coldplay Jumbotron controversy had run its course, Gwyneth Paltrow has entered the chat.

The Academy Award-winning actress and Goop founder appeared in a new – and very funny – ad for Astronomer, the tech firm whose former CEO and human resources chief launched a million memes after being shown on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert last week.
[url=https://trip36.win]tripscan top[/url]
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,” Paltrow said in the clip shared on the company’s Instagram on Friday night, adding that Astronomer had received “a lot of questions over the last few days.”

In addition to her other hats, Paltrow, of course, is also the famously “consciously uncoupled” ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who at a concert in Boston last week inadvertently revealed an intimate moment between two top executives at Astronomer – who were seen embracing but immediately ducked from view – during a performance of Coldplay’s “Jumbotron Song.”
https://trip36.win
tripskan
“Whoa, look at these two,” Martin quipped at the time. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The moment caused a major internet sensation and an immediate spotlight on Astronomer. Both executives shown in the video have since resigned.

In the clip featuring Paltrow on Friday, the “questions” she addresses do not deal with the controversy, but rather the tech-focused business dealings of New York-based firm Astronomer.

The clip’s caption read simply, “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”

The Alpha Capricornids meteor shower, which is best known for producing very bright meteors called fireballs that may look like shooting stars, will be most visible at 1 a.m. ET Wednesday, according to Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the American Meteor Society. Its radiant — the point at which the meteor streaks seem to originate — is in the Capricorn constellation.

The Alpha Capricornids are visible all over the world but are usually best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, in places such as Australia and Africa, according to Bill Cooke, the lead for NASA’s Meteoroid Environments Office. These meteors are expected to appear at a rate of three to five per hour. If you are viewing from the Northern Hemisphere, keep your eyes low along the southern sky to catch a glimpse.

If you stay up later, you’ll be able to see the Southern Delta Aquariids reach peak activity at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesday, said Lunsford. The Southern Delta Aquariids, which also are most visible in the Southern Hemisphere, make for a stronger shower than the Capricornids; people located in parts of the Northern Hemisphere such as the US can expect to view up to 10 to 15 meteors per hour, while those in the Southern Hemisphere may see 20 to 25 per hour.
The Aquariids appear to stream from the southern part of the Aquarius constellation, which is around 40 degrees east of the Capricorn constellation, according to Lunsford: “They’re going to kind of do a battle, shooting back and forth at each other.”

Both showers will be visible through August 13, though there is some disagreement about the date on which their peaks will occur. While experts at the American Meteor Society say peak activity will occur Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, those at NASA say it will happen Wednesday night going into Thursday.

“The time of a meteor shower peak is not constant from year-to-year. It can vary by plus or minus a day or two,” Cooke said.

But missing the peak, according to Lunsford, is nothing to fret about. “It’s not a real sharp peak …You can go out (on) the 31st or the 29th and see pretty much the same activity.”

For the best viewing, avoid areas with bright lights and objects that could obscure your view of the sky, such as tall trees or buildings. Picking a spot with a higher altitude, like a mountain or hill, may make it easier to spot these showers.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
