A série é apresentada pela jornalista Michelle Loreto e traz histórias inspiradoras de pessoas que convivem com a doença

SÃO PAULO, 24 de outubro de 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Com o objetivo de dar voz às pessoas com AME por meio de histórias reais e inspiradoras, a Biogen, biofarmacêutica líder global em biotecnologia, lança a iniciativa, AMECast. A série de vídeos é apresentada pela jornalista especialista em saúde, Michelle Loreto e traz entrevistas de pessoas que convivem com AME.

"O AMECast é uma iniciativa de conscientização muito importante. Ela fomenta o debate sobre os impactos da atrofia muscular espinhal na vida de jovens e adultos, que representam 35% das pessoas com a doença. A Biogen acredita que a informação tem o poder de ampliar as discussões e transformar o futuro dessas pessoas. Por isso, é preciso intensificar esse diálogo e reforçar, ainda mais, a urgência do cuidado apropriado, que pode garantir um futuro de escolhas pautadas no empoderamento e qualidade de vida. Os relatos e a consequente aproximação com a sociedade, por meio da compreensão dos desafios dessas pessoas, visam gerar mudanças para acolher mais e melhor a comunidade de AME", destaca Rogério Frabetti, gerente-geral da Biogen Brasil.

O primeiro episódio do AMECast já está disponível no website Juntos pela AME, plataforma online que reúne informações, dados e materiais educativos sobre a doença – que foi desenvolvida para quem tem AME, familiares, cuidadores e profissionais da saúde, a partir de uma escuta ativa e diálogo com a comunidade.

Nele, a cantora, atriz e influenciadora digital, Daniela Bublitz, conta que foi diagnosticada com AME tipo 3 ainda criança. Apesar de todos os desafios impostos pela doença, Daniela exerce sua autonomia. Já fez comerciais, ganhou festivais, participou de musicais, viajou para diversos países, além de ser ativista nas questões da comunidade.

Quando o assunto é cuidado adequado, Tatiana Branco, diretora médica da Biogen Brasil, explica que o diagnóstico precoce, a abordagem multidisciplinar e o tratamento farmacológico podem promover a estabilização da doença e propiciar ganhos motores. "Esse conjunto de ações faz diferença na vida de quem tem AME.  Contribui para melhorar a qualidade de vida e a autonomia dessas pessoas e isso, consequentemente, amplia suas oportunidades de desenvolver seus papéis socioeconômicos", finaliza.

Até dezembro, cinco novos episódios do AMECast serão lançados. Além de abordar a jornada até o diagnóstico, o impacto social, físico e mental de uma doença rara e grave, outros temas como sexualidade, planejamento familiar, inclusão, acessibilidade, autonomia e qualidade de vida são tratados no AMECast pela jornalista Michelle Loreto. Para assistir, acesse o site.

Saiba mais sobre a AME: é uma doença rara, causada por alterações genéticas no gene SMN1, localizado no cromossomo 5q, que afetam os neurônios que controlam os diversos músculos do corpo. Ela acomete aproximadamente entre 7 e 10 indivíduos em cada 100 mil nascidos vivos1,2. É subdividida clinicamente em cinco tipos (de 0 a 4), definidos pela idade de aparecimento dos sintomas e as habilidades motoras atingidas3. Assim, pessoas com a mesma doença podem apresentar diferentes níveis de acometimento - indivíduos que não conseguem se sentar de forma independente, indivíduos que se sentam, mas não andam, ou indivíduos que andam, mas que podem perder essa habilidade com a progressão da doença. Apesar dessas diferenças, a enfermidade é inevitavelmente progressiva. Sem cuidado adequado, a AME pode reduzir significativamente a independência de uma pessoa, tirando-lhe a capacidade de realizar a rotina de atividades diárias, tais como andar, escovar os dentes, ir à escola ou trabalhar2,4.

Sobre o Juntos pela AME

O Juntos pela AME é um HUB desenvolvido para as pessoas com atrofia muscular espinhal, familiares, cuidadores, profissionais da saúde e o público em geral, a partir de uma escuta ativa e diálogo com a comunidade de AME. A plataforma online reúne, em um único lugar, informações, dados referenciados e materiais educativos sobre a atrofia muscular espinhal, desde a suspeita clínica até o diagnóstico, os cuidados multidisciplinares e os pontos de vista de cuidadores e profissionais de saúde experientes sobre diversos tópicos desde aspectos nutricionais até os equipamentos necessários para os cuidados adequados.

Por meio do HUB, quem tem AME pode descobrir um universo de possibilidades e capacidades.

Sobre a Biogen

Fundada em 1978, a Biogen é uma empresa líder global em biotecnologia, pioneira em várias inovações revolucionárias. Com um amplo portfólio de medicamentos para tratar a esclerose múltipla, trouxe o primeiro tratamento aprovado para atrofia muscular espinhal e dois tratamentos co-desenvolvidos para abordar uma patologia definidora da doença de Alzheimer. A Biogen está desenvolvendo um pipeline de novas terapias em potencial em neurologia, neuropsiquiatria, imunologia especializada e doenças raras e permanece fortemente focada em seu propósito de servir a humanidade por meio da ciência, enquanto promove um mundo mais saudável, sustentável e equitativo.
