UGqr.Daniel Amen uye wakha ubukhosi kwitekhnoloji yokucinga yobuchopho ethandabuzekayo kunye nezongezelelo zesondlo.(Umzekeliso kaWesley Bedrosian woMjongi)
Kufutshane nesiphelo sevidiyo zakhe ezininzi, enokubonwa kwisikhululo sikamabonwakude esidlangalaleni okanye Youtube , ugqirha wengqondo uDaniel Amen uxelela into ayibiza ngokuba libali lakhe alithandayo. Inento yokwenza nentombi yakhe, uBreanne, othi, uGqirha u-Amen enosizi kwilizwi lakhe, andizange ndicinge ukuba ulumke kakhulu.
Ngobunye ubusuku, uGqr. Amen uxelele abaphulaphuli bakhe be studio, weza kum wathi, ‘Tata, andicingi ukuba ndingaze ndikrelekrele njengabahlobo bam.’ Kwaye yandophula intliziyo. Ngosuku olulandelayo, ndamjonga ekliniki. Oku kuthetha ukuba wamthobela ukhuphelo olunye lwekhompyuter olwenziwe ngekhompyutha , okanye i-SPECT, esebenzisa isotopu enemitha yokulinganisa ukuhamba kwegazi kwingqondo. Kwaye ndinje, 'Owu Thixo wam!' Ndalila xa ndabona le nto, kuba ibonakalisa ukuba unamandla amancinci ngokwenene, ukuhamba kwegazi okuphantsi ngokwenene kwingqondo yakhe.
Ndayazi indlela yokulungisa, uqhubeke u-Amen. Ngosuku olulandelayo kumayeza amancinci awayejolise kuwo wayengcono kakhulu.Kwiinyanga ezintathu kamva, le ntombazana ingazange ifumane u-A ebomini bayo, yayingu-A ngqo! Iminyaka eli-10 elandelayo, ii-A ngqo!
Ibali elimnandi, i-anecdote ye-clincher yoluhlobo olwenzile uGqirha u-Amen mhlawumbi owaziwa kakhulu-kwaye mhlawumbi ingoyena mntu uphikisayo-ugqirha wengqondo kwisizwe. Kule minyaka idlulileyo, wakhe umbuso wobuchwephesha bengqondo, ngetyathanga le Iiklinikhi ze-Amen ezintandathu kwilizwe liphela, umjelo ozinzileyo we Iincwadi ezithengisa mega , Ingalo enkulu yemithombo yeendaba evelisa iinkqubo ezibonisiweyo kwizikhululo zamalungu e-PBS kwilizwe liphela kunye neshishini lokukhuthaza kunye nokuthengisa ubunini izongezo zesondlo . Ingamangalisa into yokuba nawuphina ugqirha afezekise isidanga sikaDkt.Ameni. Kodwa eyona nto ihlab 'umxhelo ngempumelelo yakhe emangalisayo yeyokuba yakhelwe kumabango, ingakumbi izibonelelo ezingaqhelekanga, ezikufutshane nezimangalisayo ze-SPECT, eziye zachithwa njengezonyango ngokungekho semthethweni ngoobani abangoochwephesha abaziingcali, abagqirha bengqondo kunye iingcali zokucinga ngengqondo. 
Uninzi lweeurologists lubuza ixabiso leskena se-SPECT.Facebook
I-SPECT ayinamsebenzi ngokumangalisayo, utshilo uDaniel Carlat, unjingalwazi wezifundo zengqondo kwiYunivesithi yaseTufts IWashington Post Ngo-2012 . Ngokusisiseko udibanisa abantu, uJeffrey Lieberman, intloko yesebe lezengqondo kwiKholeji yaseColumbia yoGqirha noGqirha, undixelele kudliwanondlebe lwakutshanje e-Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, evakalisa uluvo endiluvileyo ubuncinci besinye isiqingatha sesinye iingcali endandenze udliwanondlebe nazo iiyunivesithi eziphambili kunye namaziko ophando.
UGqr.Ameni uhlawulisa izigulana amawaka eedola ukuzifaka kumachiza asebenzisa i-radioactive kwaye ubabonise imifanekiso enemibala emihle yeengqondo zabo ngaphandle kobungqina obunokuthenjwa bokuba yongeza kwinkqubo yokuqonda isifo okanye yonyango, wabhala uGqirha Harriet Hall, owayesakuba ngugqirha wothunyelo lwendiza. Ibhlogi ebalaseleyo kwimibuzo yezonyango.
UGqr.Ameni uyazi kakuhle izikhalazo ezinje, kwaye ubeka ukuzikhusela ngamandla: Ndinganikezela ukuba uninzi lwabantu obuthethile nabo abazizo iingcali ze-SPECT, undixelele nge-imeyile, kodwa endaweni yoko ziingcali kwezinye iindlela zokucinga, ke akunakulindeleka ukuba bazi ngenene uncwadi lwenzululwazi. Uye wanikezela ngokubhekisa kwezinye iingcali ezixhasa umsebenzi wakhe kunye nezifundo ezininzi, athi, ziqinisekisa amabango awenzileyo. Senza uxilongo ngayo yonke ingcaciso, hayi ukuskena nje, utshilo. Kodwa xa usongeza iskeni, itshintsha into eyenziwa ngoogqirha amaxesha asibhozo kwali-10.
UGqr.Ameni uhlawulisa izigulana amawaka eedola ukuba bazitofe ngemichiza eqhumayo kwaye ubabonise imifanekiso enemibala emihle yeengqondo zabo ngaphandle kobungqina obubambekayo bokuba yongeza kwinkqubo yoxilongo okanye yonyango, wabhala uGqirha Harriet Hall.
Kodwa mhlawumbi eyona nto imangalisayo malunga nokuqaqamba nodumo (kunye nobutyebi) uGqr Amen ayiphumezileyo kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo okanye eyona nto iphambili, eyindima ebalulekileyo edlalwe ekuphakameni kwakhe yiNkonzo yoSasazo yoLuntu. Ukusukela ngo-2008, uninzi lwezikhululo zamalungu e-PBS ezingama-350 kwilizwe liphela zihlala zisebenzisa enye okanye enye yeenkqubo zikaGqr. Amen, phantse njalo njengenxalenye yokuqhuba kwabo rhoqo ukufumana imali. Isithethi se-PBS, uJan McNamara, undixelele, i-PBS ayikho kwimeko yokulandela kunye nokusasaza idatha okanye ukuphawula ngenkqubo esingayihambisi. Kodwa uGqirha Amen uxelele IWashington Post ngo-2012 ukuba eli nani lalimalunga nama-50 000 osasazo olupheleleyo — kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo eli nani liphezulu kakhulu ngoku.
Sisasaza iinkqubo zikaGqirha Amen kuba bonwabela ukuthandwa ngokubanzi phakathi kwababukeli bethu, uKellie Castruita Specter, umlawuli omkhulu kwezonxibelelwano nentengiso kwiChannel 13 eNew York, ebhalwe nge-imeyile. Siyayiqonda into yokuba abanye oochwephesha bezonyango bavakalisa ukungathandwa malunga neendlela zakhe, kwaye kukho nabanye abantu abathi baphiliswe zezo ndlela zinye. Njengoninzi lweenkqubo esiziphetheyo, siyazisasaza, kwaye sivumela abaphulaphuli ukuba bazigwebele.
Kuya kubonakala ngathi kukho imibuzo emibini ngale ndlela. Inye inento yokwenza nengxoxo-mpikiswano yezenzululwazi malunga nokusebenza kwe-SPECT, kwaye amabango kaGqirha u-Amen enza izongezo zesondlo, uninzi lweengcali ezilugxothayo njengelingenguhlobo lwenkulungwane ye-21 yeoyile yenyoka. Omnye umcimbi unento yokwenza nendima edlalwe yi-PBS ekunikezeleni ngokubonakalayo kuGqr.Ameni kunye nesitampu sokwamkelwa okunesiphumo sokuqinisekisa amabango akhe. I-Specter ithi ababukeli banokuzenzela izigqibo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi akukho bungqina bokuba i-PBS uqobo okanye izitishi zelungu ezihambisa iinkqubo zakhe zibonelela kakhulu ngendlela yolwazi ukwenza ababukeli bakwazi ukwenza eso sigwebo. Imiboniso iyapapashwa kwaye isasazwa ngaphandle kwempikiswano engqonge uGqirha Amen.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qRHM8N168w&w=560&h=315] Iindaba apha kukuba akukho nto itshintshileyo. Kwiminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo xa izikhululo ze-PBS zaqala ukusasaza iinkqubo zikaGqirha u-Amen, uRobert Burton, MD, owayeyintloko ye-neurology kwisibhedlele iMount Zion kwiYunivesithi yaseCalifornia eSan Francisco, wabukela engakholelwa njengokuba uGqirha u-Amen exelela abaphulaphuli bakhe, ndiza kubonisa indlela yokwenza ubuchopho bakho bube bukhulu, kubandakanya nendlela yokuthintela isifo se-Alzheimer's. Ugqirha Burton, esabelana ngemvumelwano yokuba bekungekho kwaziwayo, indlela eqinisekisiweyo yezonyango yokuthintela isifo sika-Alzheimer, emva koko ukhalaze kwi-Salon ukuba i-PBS isasaza oko kufana nolawulo olungalawulwayo kunyango lwe-Amen.
Ugqirha Amen usabanga ukuba, esebenzisa UMBONO, uyakwazi ukubona isifo sika-Alzheimer kwiminyaka ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke iimpawu kwaye unendlela yokulibazisa ukuqala kwayo. I-SPECT inokutshintsha ubhubhane we-Alzheimer, wabhengeza.
Kodwa uninzi lwee-neurologists ezihlonelwayo zadibana noqhankqalazo lokuba akukho bungqina bokwenyani bokuba oku kuyinyani. Nokuba icandelo le-SPECT lalinyanisile, asinalo nakuphi na ukungenelela ukusithintela esi sifo ngeli xesha, utshilo uGqirha Howard Feldman, umlawuli we-Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study exhaswa ngurhulumente, onjongo yakhe ikukuvavanya ukusebenza kweekhompawundi ezintsha kunye neziyobisi. Okwangoku, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, igama likaDkt.Ameni, ukuziqhelanisa kunye namashishini onke ayaqhubeka nokukhula, ephuculwa kukuvela kwakhe okuqhubekayo-ngaphandle kwelizwi elichaseneyo emoyeni-kwizikhululo ze-PBS kwilizwe liphela.

UDaniel Amen mncinci, unebala, uneminyaka engama-62 ngesimilo esihle kunye noncumo lwefowuni. Uyavela kwiinkqubo zakhe, azivelisa ngokudibeneyo noKonwabisa okuphezulu kwesihlanu eNashville, ethetha phambi kwabaphulaphuli besitudiyo. Uhlala enxibe impahla ebomvu ebomvu okanye idyasi emnyama yezemidlalo ngaphezulu kwe T-shirt emnyama, uthetha ngokutyibilikayo nangomdla, enentombazana encinci yentlambo (Kwaye ndinje, 'Owu, Thixo wam!') Ukunika umnxeba oqhelekileyo. Waya kwiKholeji yamaKristu encinci yaseCalifornia, wachitha iminyaka emithathu emkhosini emva kwesikolo esiphakamileyo njengengcali ye-X-ray waza wamkela i-degree yezobugcisa kwi-Oral Roberts School School (igama lesikolo elingu-Elmer Gantry-njengomabonwakude umvangeli).
Ukunyangwa kwengqondo kukuphela kwento engajonganga ngokwenyani ilungu eliliphathayo, ngumgca oqhelekileyo awusebenzisayo ukwazisa i-SPECT. Ukucinga, uGqirha Amen uthe, undincedile ukuba ndibone isiseko sebhayoloji emva kweempawu.
I-SPECT yimania kunye naye. Kule minyaka, uthi, uye waqokelela iqoqo elikhulu lehlabathi le-SPECT scans, kunye ne-115,000 kwiqoqo yakhe. Emva kokuba umfana sele ethandana nenye yeentombi zakhe iinyanga ezimbalwa, wenza ukuba umtyholwa enze uvavanyo lwe-SPECT. Kuzo zonke iintetho zakhe, uvelisa imifanekiso YOKUKHETHA kwiscreen. Iingqondo eziphilileyo, ezintle ziyi-ovals egqibeleleyo, enemibala e-cream efiphele kwi-violet kwaye igudile njengemabhile. Iingqondo ezingenampilo, ezigulayo, ezixhwalekisayo zishwabene kwaye zishwabene, kufana neerug. Iingqondo zamaxhoba e-Alzheimer, eyinxalenye ebalaseleyo yeentetho zikaGqirha Amen, zishwabene, zigcwele imingxunya; zikhangeleka njengamaqhekeza emeteor awile emhlabeni.
Ngapha koko, njengoko iingcali zokucinga ngengqondo ziya kukuxelela, iingqondo zokwenyani, nditsho nengqondo yabaguli abane-Alzheimer, ayinayo imingxunya yokugqobhoza kuzo; akukho buchopho bomntu ophilileyo budumbile njengeqhekeza lesinyithi. Ubeka le mifanekiso kwizikrini kwiintetho zakhe ngaphandle kwengcaciso, ethetha ukuba oku kufana nokufana nengqondo yomntu, uMark Slifstein, unjingalwazi onxulumene naye kwisebe lezengqondo kwiYunivesithi yaseColumbia, wandixelela. Ayiyo.
Kodwa nangona uGqirha u-Ameni ebonisa izikena zakhe, eyona nto ibalulekileyo ibango abenzela lona. Kwi-Alzheimer's, umzekelo, uxelela abaphulaphuli besitudiyo sakhe ukuba esi sifo sibonakala kwingqondo iminyaka engama-30 ukuya kwengama-50 ngaphambi kokuqala kweempawu. Ke ngoko, kuya kufuneka uskenwe kwangoko kuba unyango kufuneka lube kwangethuba. Uthetha ngabadlali beLigi yeSizwe beBhola ekhatywayo abanengxaki yokwenzakala kwengqondo, kwaye uthi i-SPECT isebenza njengesixhobo esibalulekileyo sokuchonga ukonzakala kwabo. Uthi ngokubeka aba badlali bangaphambili kwinkqubo enobuchule, iipesenti ezingama-80 zabo zikwazile ukuvuselela iingqondo zabo. Uyazingca ngokuba imifanekiso ye-SPECT imenze wakwazi ukubona iipateni ezithile zobuchopho ezinxulumene nokutyeba kakhulu. Uxhasa ukuba i-SPECT inokukunceda ukubona indawo isifo sengqondo, uxinzelelo kunye neendlela ezisixhenxe eziqwalaselweyo zokunqongophala kokuphazamiseka kwengqondo, okanye i-ADHD, kwaye, kuba enakho ukulungelelanisa unyango lwakhe kuhlobo, ubanga impumelelo kwiimeko ezingama-9.5 kwezili-10.
Kodwa ezi ntlobo zamabango yile nto kanye evusa ingqumbo kwiingcali ezininzi zobuchopho. Ugqirha Lieberman, owayesakuba ngumongameli weAmerican Psychiatric Association, ufanisa ukusebenzisa kukaGqirha u-SPECT nefashoni yenkulungwane ye-19 phrenology , ekwathi ngawo ubungakanani kunye nokumila kolukakayi kwathiwa ngamanyathelo obukrelekrele bomntu nobuntu bakhe. Ukusetyenziswa kukaGqr.Amen wale mifanekiso mininzi yimibala-mbumbulu yephrenology, uGqr Lieberman uhlawulisiwe. Into ayenzayo uzibonakalisa njengoluhlobo olutsha lokuzifumanisa logqirha usebenzisa indlela yokucinga yokuhamba-i-SPECT- ukwenza uxilongo nokukhetha unyango, utshilo. Abukho ubungqina benzululwazi koko akuthethayo nakwenzayo.
Ngokwethiyori kungakulunga ukuba ungaskena kwaye uyisebenzise ukwenza uxilongo, utshilo uGqirha Carlat waseTufts. Kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo yile yokuba konke kuyethiyori. Akuzange kubekho zifundo ezikholisayo kuzo zonke ukuba unokuchonga iimeko uDkt Amen athi unokuzixilonga. Ugqirha Carlat uthe uyamqhwabela izandla ugqirha u-Amen kwezinye izinto, ngokukodwa ukuzisa ukuphiliswa kwendalo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, egxininisa izinto ezinje ngesondlo, ukulala kunye nendlela yokuphila njengezinto ezikwimpilo yengqondo. Kodwa kwinqanaba apho akhokelela khona abantu kwingcamango engeyonyani yokuba ungasebenzisa imifanekiso ye-SPECT ukufumana isifo, kulapho azimisele khona ukuba ngumkhohlisi.

Itekhnoloji ye-SPECT isebenzisa isotope enemitha yeathom Ingene kwigazi ukulinganisa ukuhamba kwegazi entliziyweni okanye kwingqondo. Kwakukho uchulumanco olukhulu malunga netekhnoloji xa yayiqala ukuphuhliswa ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo, kodwa yathathelwa indawo kwaye ubukhulu becala yathathelwa indawo zezinye iindlela zokuskena, ezinje nge-positron emission tomography ( I-PET okanye umfanekiso-ngqondweni wemagneti ( IMRI ), Zombini zihambele phambili kwaye, kwimeko ye-MRI, ayibandakanyi ukujova izinto ezinemitha yeathom egazini. Uninzi lweengcali endiye ndathetha nazo zathi ayisasetyenziswanga ngakumbi, nangona inako ukunceda ekufumaneni iimeko ezinje ngemivumbo, amathumba kunye kunqabile uhlobo lwesifo se-Alzheimer esaziwa njenge-dementia yexeshana ngaphambili.
Ayinaso isisombululo sokunika ulwazi malunga nayo nayiphi na into engaphaya kwale miba mihle kakhulu, utshilo uGqirha Lieberman. Imifanekiso ine-zero efanelekileyo kukuphazamiseka kwengqondo.
Lonke ikhondo lomsebenzi wam belisebenza ngemifanekiso yobuchopho yabantu abaneemeko zengqondo, kubandakanya isifo sengqondo, uxinzelelo, ukusebenzisa gwenxa iziyobisi, ukuphazamiseka okunyanzelekileyo, i-anorexia kunye ne-bulimia, kunye nabantu abangenazo iimeko zengqondo, kwaye ubukhulu becala kukho Akukho mahluko ubonakalayo phakathi kwabo, utshilo uScifstein waseColumbia. Uluvo lokuba unokuchonga nayiphi na kwezi meko kumntu omnye ngokujonga ngokubonakalayo umfanekiso wokuhamba kwegazi nge-SPECT uyathandabuza.
Ngo-2010, iingcali ezimbini kwiBrain Imaging Council yoMbutho wezoNyango lweNyukliya, uBryon Adinoff noMichael Devous, w Rote ngaphakathi Ijenali yaseMelika yoNyango Kwiminyaka eliqela ngaphambili babenike uGqirha Amen ithuba lokungenisa uhlalutyo lweseti ye-SPECT eyimfama ukumisela indlela esebenza ngayo inkqubo yakhe ekuchongeni izifundo ngokuchanekileyo. Bathe kumashumi amabini eminyaka, uGqirha u-Amen akazange awamkele loo mceli mngeni, ukanti uye wazingisa ekusebenziseni amabango angenasayensi ekuchongeni nasekunyangeni abaguli.
Uxhasa ukuba i-SPECT inokukunceda ukubona indawo isifo sengqondo, uxinzelelo kunye neendlela ezisixhenxe eziqwalaselweyo zokunqongophala kokuphazamiseka kwengqondo, okanye i-ADHD, kwaye, kuba enakho ukulungelelanisa unyango lwakhe kuhlobo, ubanga impumelelo kwiimeko ezingama-9.5 kwezili-10.
Ebuzwa malunga naloo nto, ugqirha Amen wandixelela nge-imeyile, andikaze ndicelwe, nangona isicatshulwa senqaku kwijenali ephambili yobuchwephesha kubonakala ngathi sibonisiwe. Ngokubanzi, waphikisa ukuba ngokubambelela kwi-SPECT kunye nokuyiphuhlisa, uye waba nguvulindlela wesixhobo sokuqonda ukuba isiseko sengqondo saba nenkani kwaye sisidenge ukungasihoyi. Ndinesabelo sam, wabavuma, kodwa ndanyanzelwa kuba umsebenzi wethu uyabutshintsha ubomi, kwaye oko bekusoloko kuyeyona nto iqhubayo. Ngapha koko, unenkxaso phakathi kwezinye iingcali-okanye ufikelela kwinqanaba. I-Braganca yenza udliwano-ndlebe noogqirha abane-oogqirha bengqondo okanye ezinye iingcali, bonke bephela bahlonishwa kakhulu-amagama abo anikezelwa nguGqirha Amen, kwaye bonke baphikisa ukuba i-SPECT iluncedo kakhulu kwaye ithembisa ngakumbi kunokuba uninzi lweengcali luziqonda.
Kukho ubungqina obuninzi bokuba i-SPECT, ukuba yenziwe ngezixhobo ezifanelekileyo kwaye ifundwe ngumfundi ofanelekileyo, ngokulinganisa iipateni ezithile zokuhamba kwegazi kunokuba luncedo ekuchongeni isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo, u-Andrew Newberg, ingcali yamayeza enyukliya kwisibhedlele iYunivesithi yaseJefferson ePhiladelphia , Wachaza ngefowuni. Enye ingcali, uRob Tarzwell, unjingalwazi oncedisayo weklinikhi kwicandelo lezamayeza kwiYunivesithi yaseBritish Columbia, wabhala iphepha noGqirha Amen kunye neNewberg ebonisa ukuba i-SPECT iluncedo ekwahluleni phakathi kokulimala kwengqondo ebuhlungu kunye noxinzelelo lwasemva koxinzelelo ( PTSD), uphuhliso Fumanisa iphephancwadi elibiziweyo elinye lamabali ezenzululwazi aphezulu ayi-100 ka-2015 .
Ekugqibeleni, ayinamsebenzi nokuba iipateni ezithile zikaDan ziyama okanye ziyawa, ugqibe watsho uGqr Tarzwell. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuzisa isixhobo esitsha sokuqonda isifo ekuvuthweni kwengqondo, apho izixhobo zokuqonda isifo zimbalwa kwaye zisekude kakhulu, kwaye ndicinga ukuba ukufumanisa okwenziwe nguDan ngendlela yokuqala ngoku kusemgceni wokuqinisekiswa ngokufanelekileyo, okanye kungenjalo kuchaswa ngokufanelekileyo. Kuyonwabisa ngendlela emangalisayo.
Kodwa ngelixa ezi ngcali zimncoma uGqirha u-Amen, bonke bavumile ukuba uyalibaxa ityala lakhe, ngakumbi kwiinkqubo zikamabonwakude awusasaza ngazo umyalezo wakhe. Bacinga ukuba oku kububungqina bokuba uDkt.Ameni uqinisekile ukuba iSpECT iluncedo kakhulu kunokuba uninzi lweengcali lucinga.
Okwangoku, nabaxhasi bakhe bayayigxininisa into abayichaza njenge-SPECT's amandla ngaphezulu kunexabiso layo elimiselweyo. Akukho ngcali bendithetha nayo, umzekelo, ibiqinisekile ukuba i-SPECT inokufumana isifo se-Alzheimer iminyaka ngaphambi kokuqala kweempawu, njengoko uGqr. Amen ephikisa.
Ugqirha Amen ubhalile okanye wabhala amanqaku amaninzi kwiimagazini zobungcali, ezinye zazo andinike zona, ezibonisa njengezifundo eziqinisekisa amabango akhe. Phakathi kwabo, umzekelo, liphepha lakutshanje kwifayile ye- Ijenali yeziyobisi zengqondo Ukubonisa ukuba kumatyala angama-30 okonakala kwengqondo kubadlali bebhola ekhatywayo bangaphambili, uhlalutyo lwe-SPECT oludityaniswe nezongezo zesondlo ezivelise ukwanda okubalulekileyo kumanqaku, inkumbulo, ukuqiqa, ukuqhubekeka kolwazi, isantya kunye nokuchaneka.
Ukuba oko kuyinyani, kuya kuba luphuhliso olukhulu, kuba le nto ithethwa nguGqirha Amen kukuba ngokusebenzisa i-SPECT kunye nokutya kwakhe kwezongezo zesondlo ufumene indlela esebenzayo yokuguqula umonakalo wengqondo. Sisebenzisa onke amacebo ethu, hayi nje izongezo, ndiyakholelwa ngokunyanisekileyo kwaye ndiyabonisa kwiiklinikhi zethu, ukuba sinokuwutshintsha umonakalo wengqondo, uGqr.Ameni wabhengeza nge-imeyile. Ndiyibonisile kaninzi.
Ukusetyenziswa kukaDkt.Amen kwimifanekiso emininzi ene-'pseudo-color phrenology '… Akukho bungqina bobunzululwazi koko akuthethayo nakwenzayo.- UGqr. UJeffrey Lieberman, intloko yesebe lezengqondo kwiKholeji yaseColumbia yoGqirha nabaGqirha
Kubalandeli bakhe, izifundo ezinje ngezo zabadlali bebhola ekhatywayo, nokuba zincinci, bonisa ubuncinci ukuba i-SPECT sisixhobo esibalulekileyo, esingasetyenziswanga kakuhle. Izinto ezingabonwa ngabagxeki bakaGqr. Amen, utshilo uGqirha Tarzwell, kukuba kule minyaka mihlanu ukuya kweli-10 izayo, isisombululo esifezekiswe yi-SPECT siyakuphucuka kakhulu, kwaye siya kuba nakho ukwenza kanye le nto u-Amen athi uyenza ngayo. -bona i-physiology emva kweempawu zengqondo, fumana ukuphazamiseka okungabonakali kwiimpawu eziqhelekileyo. Ndingathanda ukuba nomfana onjengoDaniel Amen awubeke iliso kunokuba simemezele enzonzobileni, utshilo.
Kodwa ngelixa uphononongo lubonisa iziphumo ezilungileyo ekubuyiseni umonakalo wengqondo kunokubangela ukuba abaphulaphuli babukele i-PBS, iingcali zigcina ukuba azinabunyani besayensi okanye ixabiso leklinikhi, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuba yenziwe kungekho qela lolawulo, ngenxa yoko akunakwenzeka ukwazi ukuba ingaba Uphuculo olulinganiswe nguGqirha uAmen ngenxa ye-SPECT kunye nezongezo okanye isiphumo se-placebo, esivame ukuba namandla kakhulu.
Ngokwesiqhelo ubuya kuvavanya umntu ngaphandle kwe-SPECT kwaye emva koko wenze uvavanyo nge-SPECT kwaye ubonise umahluko, kodwa ayisiyiyo le yenziwe kule meko, Isazinzulu esiphezulu kumaZiko ezeMpilo kaZwelonke acele ukungachazwa axelele uMqwalaseli. Ababonisi ukuba i-SPECT ibingcono kunogwebo olulungileyo lweklinikhi. Isifundo sokubuyisela umva kwakhona yayilebhile evulekileyo, okuthetha ukuba abadlali bebhola ekhatywayo ababengabafundi bayo babesazi ukuba bathatha izongezo hayi indawo ye-placebo. Akukho nto inokugqitywa kwezi zifundo, uGqirha Paul Aisen, ugqirha we-neurologist e-Keck School of Medicine e-USC kunye nomnye wabaphandi belizwe abaphambili be-Alzheimer, uqukumbele emva kokuphononongwa kwezifundo uGqirha Amen abonise uMqwalaseli. Ababonisi bungqina bunentsingiselo bethanda ukuskena i-SPECT okanye izongezo zesondlo. 
Esinye sezincedisi ezininzi uGqirha Amen uthengisa kwiwebhusayithi yakhe.(Umfanekiso weskrini kwi-Facebook)
Kwaye ke kukho ezo zongezelelo zesondlo Ngokwabo, athengisa ngoGqirha u-intanethi, esithi baxhamla abantu abasempilweni kunye nabo bonakaliswe yingqondo, kodwa apha kwanabantu abachonge ukuba bathethe egameni lakhe bavakalise ukuthandabuza. Andizisebenzisi izongezo ekusebenzeni kwam, utshilo uGqirha Tarzwell. Akukho datha ininzi ngokweemvavanyo ezinkulu, ezingahleliwe, uGqirha Newberg wandixelela, ethetha ngezongezo ngokubanzi. Oko kuyinxalenye kuba oogqirha abaninzi banocalucalulo ngokuchasene nezongezo, kodwa nangona kunjalo kukho izifundo ezincinci ezibonisa izibonelelo ezinokubakho.
Ugqirha Amen ngokwakhe akacacanga kwiinkqubo zakhe zikamabonakude kwinto ayicacisa gca kwizigulana- esebenzisa amabinzana anje ngamayeza ekujoliswe kuwo, izixhasi ze-dopamine okanye iinkqubo ezikrelekrele, kunokuba achaze ngokuthe ngqo ukuba zithathwa ngantoni izigulana zakhe. Kodwa njengoko isifundo sakhe sabadlali bebhola ekhatywayo sibonisa, uthembele kakhulu kwizongezo, ngaphezulu okanye kancinci njengeemveliso zeBrainMD azikhuthazayo kwaye azithengise kwiwebhusayithi yakhe-enezinto ezinje ngee-multivitamini, i-ginkgo biloba, i-omega-3 fatty acids, i-moss khipha eyaziwa ngokuba yiHuperzine A kunye nezinye izithako ezingama-50. Esi sesinye sezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zempilo yengqondo efumanekayo, uGqirha u-Amen ukhwaza kwiwebhusayithi yakhe, enika inkxaso kuluhlu olubanzi lwemisebenzi yokuqonda, kubandakanya ukugxila, inkumbulo kunye nokucaca kwengqondo.
Kuhlala kukho ukubhuza malunga nenye okanye enye isongezelelo-khumbula Amabango kaNobel Laureate Linus Pauling ngevithamini C , okanye inkolelo yokuba iipilisi zegalikhi ziya kukugcina usempilweni. Kule minyaka idlulileyo, izazinzulu kumaziko ophando ziye zavavanya izinto ezinje ngeSt. John's Wort yoxinzelelo kunye ne-ginkgo biloba kunye neHuperzine A yesifo se-Alzheimer's. Ugqirha Amen ubonakala eyithanda kakhulu i-ginkgo, esithi kwenye yeenkqubo zakhe, Ezona skeni zintle endakha ndazibona zivela kubantu abathatha i-ginkgo.
Kodwa iingcali ezifumanisa amabango akhe e-SPECT engenasiseko zivakalelwa ngendlela efanayo malunga nezongezelelo zakhe. Ugqirha Aisen wase USC ukhumbule, umzekelo, uphononongo lwesicatshulwa se ginkgo esibonisa isibonelelo esinokubakho ekucothiseni i-Alzheimer's, kodwa, wathi, isifundo asiphindaphindwanga, kwaye akukho mntu ndiyaziyo ukuba angamisela. Ngokubanzi, uGqirha Aisen uthe, Akukho sifundo sibonisa nasiphi na isibonelelo sazo naziphi na kwezi zinto kubantu abaqhelekileyo.
Uninzi luye lwavavanywa, uGqirha Feldman weSifundo soBambiswano seZifo seAlzheimer wandixelela, ebhekisa kwizithako kwimveliso kaGqirha u-Amen weBrainMD. Ngelishwa akukho namnye kubo oye wamelana novavanyo lwentsebenzo yonyango.
Iinkqubo zikaGqr.Ameni zinikezelwa kwaye zisetyenziswa sisixa se-PBS kwindawo engafanelekanga, ukuba ayifakwanga, ukuqinisekiswa.
Kodwa olo luhlobo lweengcamango zengcali ngekhe ubone kwi-PBS. Ewe, indlela iinkqubo zikaGqirha u-Amen eziboniswa kwaye zisetyenziswe ngayo zifanelekile, ukuba azicacanga, ukuxhasa uGqirha u-Amen ngokwakhe kunye namabango akhe. Izikhululo, umzekelo, zinika iincwadi zakhe kunye nevidiyo ngokutshintshela iminikelo. Ngeedola ezingama-90, ufumana iDVD yenkqubo yesithembiso kunye nekopi yathengiswa kakhulu nguGqirha Amen incwadi , Guqula uBuchopho bakho, Guqula ubomi bakho: Inkqubo yokuQhubeka yoKoyisa iXhala, ukudakumba, ukujonga, ukungagxili, ingqumbo kunye neengxaki zememori. Kwisithembiso se- $ 240, isipho yincwadi kunye noGqirha Amen Tshintsha ubomi BAKHO IDVD.
UGqr.Ameni unika amanyathelo akhethekileyo okunyusa imood yakho, ukugxila kunye nenkumbulo kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko weSifo se-Alzheimer, kwazisa uluntu ukuba i-KCTS eSeattle ikhuphe kwiwebhusayithi yayo kule ntwasahlobo ngaphambi kokubhengeza inkqubo entsha kaGqr. Ndabona usasazo lwe-KCTS, olwalukhatshwa ludliwanondlebe olwahlukileyo kunye noGqirha Amen olunokuthi luchazwe njengoluthandekayo. (Iinzame zokufumana umntu kwisikhululo ukuba anike izimvo zazingafumaneki.) Kwaye ke kusoloko kukho loo mgca wethegi uphinda phindwa ngumphathi wesikhululo: Olu luhlobo lwenkqubo onokulufumana kwi-PBS kuphela.
Ugqirha Amen undixelele ukuba ufumana ipesenti encinci, engaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-25 yeminikelo efunyenwe zizikhululo ezibonisa iinkqubo zakhe, athi, zigubungela iindleko zakhe zemveliso kunye nokusasaza. Yinto entle leyo. Izikhululo ze-PBS, zilinganiselwe kwinani lentengiso abanokuzithengisa ngokuthe ngqo, zixhomekeke kwiminikelo yamalungu, abazisebenzisela iinkqubo ezisemgangathweni ezinje Nova, ngaphambili nabanye. Ngokusebenzisa iinkqubo zikaGqr.Amen ekunyuseni ingxowa-mali bayazibandakanya nohlobo oluthile lwentengiso, apho uGqr.Amen, kwimidlalo yakhe yeeyure, angazikhuthaza, ngeendlela zakhe kwaye, ngokungathanga ngqo, ishishini lokuxhasa isondlo ngaphandle kokufaka ilebheli. le ntengiso njengentengiso okanye ukuva naziphi na izimvo ezichaseneyo.
Ezi nkonzo kunye neemveliso, ngaphezu koko, azizi ngexabiso eliphantsi. Ukubonisana okokuqala kwenye yeeklinikhi zikaGqirha Amen kubiza i-400 yeedola. Uvavanyo lwe-SPECT, oluquka izikali ezimbini, enye ekuphumleni kunye nenye ngelixa kugxilwe, Ixabisa i-3,950 yeedola, uninzi lweinshurensi yezonyango engagubungeliyo. Ngexesha lotyelelo kwikliniki yaseAmeni 'eNew York, ndaxelelwa ukuba iipesenti ezingama-85 ukuya kwezingama-90 zezigulana zikhethelwa ukuba nezikena ze-SPECT, uninzi lwazo luqala ukuva malunga nobuchule kwi-PBS. Isongezelelo sesondlo esiphakathi sikaDkt.Ameni, esibizwa ngokuba yiBrain kunye naMandla oMzimba, sithengisa nge- $ 84.96 ngenyanga ukuba ukhetha ukuthunyelwa okuzenzekelayo ngenyanga.
Kule ntwasahlobo, izitishi ezivela kwi-WNET eNew York ukuya kwi-KPBS eSan Diego zisasaza ividiyo kaGqr. Kwisofa Yengqondo , ogama lakhe lithi, Awubambekanga kwingqondo onayo; ungayenza ngcono. Kwintengiso yangaphambi kwexesha kwiiwebhusayithi zabo, ezi zikhululo zihlala zikhankanya inqaku lika-2012 kwi Inkqubo ye- IWashington Post ukuze uDaniel Amen ngugqirha wezengqondo othandwa kakhulu eMelika. Ukupapashwa kuyakutyeshela ukukhankanya isiqingatha sesibini somxholo kwinto eyona ibaluleke kakhulu IWashington Post iprofayili: Kubaphandi abaninzi yinto embi kakhulu leyo.
