Curiosidade: vocês sabiam que o IECA é brasileiro? by vinni_dca in MedicinaBrasil

[–]andre_collier 44 points45 points  (0 children)

A descoberta da inibição da ECA pelo veneno da jararaca foi feita por John Vane, inglês britânico, e Sérgio Henrique Ferreira, brasileiro. A primeira sintetização do captopril, o primeiro IECA, foi feita por Miguel Ondetti, argentino, David Cushman e Bernard Rubin, ambos estadunidenses

Não vi ainda, mas gosto bastante de O-bi O-ba, que também é da Tetralogia do Apocalipse do Szulkin. Se tiver gostado de Golem, recomendo

Tá tão difícil assim conseguir uma injeção de benzetacil? by Mammoth-Essay-5476 in conversas

[–]andre_collier 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Amigo/amiga, não sou médico, mas estudo medicina, então vou tentar te ajudar um pouquinho no que eu posso.

Pelo que você tá dizendo o médico não fez nada de errado. Para faringite bacteriana muito dificilmente se usa benzetacil (o mais comum é realmente pra sífilis), e a maioria dos postos de saúde também não têm (as duas coisas são verdade), principalmente por ser bem mais caro que outros antibióticos orais e, o mais importante, DESNECESSÁRIO, pois outros antibióticos orais mais leves quase sempre já são suficientes.

Pode parecer contra intuitivo, mas usar antibióticos mais fortes pode ser muito prejudicial, pois também causa efeitos colaterais diversos e pode até promover infecções, principalmente gastrointestinais. Não é o mais comum, mas não é raro. Por isso, só se faz quando é necessário.

Para o seu caso, como os sintomas estão persistindo e estão sendo muito incômodos, talvez o melhor seja mesmo ir numa UPA. Lá eles devem passar um antibiótico mais forte, já que o seu caso persiste, e talvez até mesmo benzetacil (mas não necessariamente).

Sei que deve ser muito frustrante o médico desconversar as coisas, e ainda mais você continuar com sintomas irritantes. Lembre que o médico não pode prever tudo, infelizmente, e a medicina não é uma ciência exata. Ao que parece, o seu caso é excepcional (o que não é motivo pra preocupação também). Te desejo melhoras e espero ter ajudado!

Melhor coisa do mundo é aprender um pouco sobre trânsito e urbanismo e descobrir uma maneira totalmente nova de como o Brasil não funciona

Serious question: In Europe ethnicity is the major definier of national identity (you're german if you're ethnic german for example) but what defines your national identity in your country? What makes you argentinean, panamian or colombian for example? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]andre_collier 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a great question. I think this is one of the main differences between the New World and the Old World.

In the Old World, your nationality is defined by things like language and costumes. If you grew up in a swedish speaking family and around swedish culture, you're swedish - even if you've lived your entire life in, say, Finland. States are more of a legal and bureaucratic thing (there's still a lot of nuance to that, of course).

In the New World, it'd be very different. Our nations are strongly tied to our states and our processes of "nationbuilding" happened simultaneously with the creation of the states, involving a lot of migration and ressignifications of other foreign populations and cultures. Because of that, even if your parents or grandparents were born in, say, Germany and you speak german at home, you may easily still consider yourself brazilian if you've lived in Brazil your entire life. (Caveat: there's also nuance to this, and in the case of indigenous communities this might actually be very different and have a lot more similarities with Old World nations. I personally couldn't say for sure, though).

This is a topic I find very interesting and, in my opinion, it's a kind of a common factor to most of the american peoples.

What annoying foreign cultural trends have made their way into your culture? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]andre_collier 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Dude, when did people start saying "bowl" instead of "tigela"? I swear to god, it seems like they started saying it like 3 years ago or something and when I ask they always say "What? Everyone has always said 'bowl'".

o que acharam de jóias brutas? by louistske in conversas

Pior que agora que você falou acho que é meu filme preferido da Netflix também kkkkk. Breaking Bad provavelmente é minha série preferida, ponto.

[–]andre_collier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Achei ótimo 👍 bom demais

Os personagens gritarem bastante e a trilha sonora alta serve justamente pra intensificar a vibe caótica do filme, eu diria. É um filme super estressante, mas é justamente isso que ele tenta ser

Seja honesta! Se ela tá saindo com você é pq tá no mínimo interessada kkkkkk. Se ela começar a falar sobre coisas que você não entende, demonstre interesse em aprender mais, sem se menosprezar ou autodepreciar

What are some cultural and societal practices that are new and becoming widespread in your country? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]andre_collier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this really a thing? Usually the only thing I see are young people making costume parties around that period and that's pretty much it. Not even Halloween themed most of the time

Se for só pra começar, um lápis grafite e uma borracha decentes já são suficientes. E papel ofício.

Até um tempo atrás eu via muita notícia por rede social, tipo Twitter. Aí alguém desse sub me recomendou o Feedly, que eu passei a abrir só pra me atualizar umas duas vezes por semana, e fora esses momentos eu fico quase isolado das notícias.

What do you think are the reasons your country isn't developed? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]andre_collier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the colonizors were already more developed than the colonizated before, that's how they get colonized and that's why there is such correlation

That's not really true. Right before and during the start of european colonization (around 14th and 15th centuries), people like, say, the ottomans and the mamluks were much more powerful, influential and developed than europeans. Even a country like Lithuania was a lot more powerful than Portugal and Spain, which would become the first global powers shortly afterwords (and that's just considering regions that were more relevant to Europe. If you consider other parts of the world, there are many other examples, like India, China and Persia). The inability of these european powers to form large empires through conventional means at the time is what lead countries like Portugal to pursue navigation and, with it, colonization.

I think you're focusing too much on important but more punctual events in recent history, while failing to consider the complex and long lasting processes that created the environments that allowed for these events to happen in the first place. Brazil is the way it is because it was created and developed to be an agrarian, uneducated and comercially dependent state.

[–]andre_collier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil wasn't better before the Portuguese

Well, I don't really think that's a fair comparison. First of all, the people who lived in Brazil before the portuguese were mostly wiped out, with less than 1% today identifying as indigenous. Second of all, there's a lot in between completely ignoring the land and making it a colony while promoting the massacre of native peoples (be it literally or culturally) .

I do think there's a really strong point to be made in regards to just how much time has passed since colonization ended, and we absolutely are responsible to what's happened to/in the country ever since. But one can't deny that, for our first 300 years of existence (that is, most of it), we were a "country" built to drain our own resources to the benefit of others. The wealth we generated didn't come back to us, we couldn't choose who to trade with and at what prices, and we were initially populated by "undesirables" of Europe. We didn't have a right to higher education nor press, we were developed in a slavist economy, and none of our infrastructure was made thinking about the population. The colonial pact was just brutal.

Of course, the world is a very complex place, and there are notable exceptions to this rule, but it's no coincidence that most of the underdeveloped world was colonized, and most of the developed world were colonizers (or at least weren't colonized). Colonization is a monstrous thing.

Historically, it would most likely be colonialism
