He maha ngā wā ka pā tōu mahunga? Me kōrero tātou mō te CTE! (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy)

He kaiwhaiwhai hākinakina koe? Tērā pea kei te takaro koe i tētahi hākinakina pēnei i te whutupōro, i te mekemeke rānei. Tērā pea kua hinga tonu koe, kua pāngia tō mahunga mai i tō tamarikitanga. Ahakoa he pai te whiunga torutoru ki te mahunga, kāore e pai te pānga maha i roto i ngā tau maha. I tēnei rā ka kōrero tātou mō tētahi whara roro kino, pumau ka puta mai i ngā whara mahunga mō te wā roa. Ko tōna ingoa ko te Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, ko te CTE rānei te whakarapopototanga.

He aha te CTE?

He mate te CTE e pā ana ki tō tātou roro. Ka puta mai i ngā whiunga, i ngā whara rānei o te upoko mō te wā roa. Ina tupu tēnei, ka tīmata te mate, te pakaru rānei o ngā pūtau io i roto i tō tātou roro, arā, ngā pūtau iti e whakahaere ana i ō tātou whakaaro, maharatanga, me ngā nekehanga. Ka kiia tēnei ko te neurodegeneration i roto i te pūtaiao hauora.

Whakaarohia tō roro he ara iahiko matatini i hangaia mai i ngā miriona waea iti (ngā pūtau io) e mahi tahi ana. Mēnā ka pāngia ēnei waea e te CTE, ka memeha haere. I te mea ka nui haere te kino i roto i te wā, ka puta he huringa nui ki ō whanonga, whakaaro, me tō wairua.

He aha ngā tohu pea o te CTE?

He tino ōrite ngā tohu o te CTE ki ērā o ētahi atu mate e kino ai te roro. E toru ngā wāhanga matua o tō tātou oranga e pāngia ana e ia: ko ō tātou whakaaro, ko ō tātou āhua hinengaro, me ō tātou nekehanga tinana. Me titiro tātou ki ēnei taipitopito kia mārama ake ai tātou ki tēnei.

I ētahi wā, he uaua ki te mārama ki ēnei huringa māu ake. Tērā pea ka mea mai tō whānau me ō hoa, "Kāore koe i rite ki tō mua" "Kua rerekē tō whanonga." Kaua e riri i taua wā. Kia mahara, kei te kōrero rātou i tēnei nā te aroha me te āwangawanga ki a koe.

He aha te take e puta ai te CTE? Ko wai kei te mōrearea nui ake?

E ai ki tā tātou i kōrero ai i mua ake nei, ko te tino take o te CTE ko te whara o te upoko. Kei te ngana tonu ngā kairangahau ki te rapu i te take e pāngia ai ētahi tāngata e te whara, ā, kāore ētahi e pāngia. Engari kotahi te mea e mārama ana: tata ki te katoa e pāngia ana e te CTE he hītori whara o te upoko mō ngā tau maha.

E whakapono ana ngā kairangahau nā te whakakotahitanga rerekē o tētahi momo pūmua e kiia nei ko ngā pūmua tau i roto i ō tātou roro tēnei. He rite ēnei pūmua tau ki tētahi anga e hanga ana i te āhua o ō tātou pūtau io, ā, e āwhina ana hoki kia mau tonu. Engari ina whiua tonutia te upoko, ka pakaru tēnei anga, ā, ka huihui ngā pūmua tau, ka kino, ka mate hoki ngā pūtau io.

Ko wai te mea tino mōrearea?

• Mō te hunga e tākaro ana i ētahi hākinakina: Tērā pea ko te hunga e tākaro ana i ngā hākinakina pēnei i te whutupōro, te whutupaoro Amerika, te mekemeke, me ngā mahi toi whawhai whakauru (MMA).
• Mō te hunga e mahi ana i te ope taua: Nā te mea ka pāngia pea te mahunga e ngā whara i te wā whakangungu, i te papa pakanga rānei.

Me pēhea koe e tino mōhio ai mēnā kei a koe te CTE?

Koinei te wāhanga tino uaua o te mate. Kāore anō kia taea te kī me te tino pono 100% kei te pāngia tetahi e te CTE i a ia e ora ana. Ko te huarahi anake hei whakaū i te CTE ko te tirotiro i tētahi tauira kiko i tangohia mai i te roro i muri i te matenga o tētahi i raro i te karuārai. Ka kiia tēnei he 'autopsy' .

Ka kohia e te tākuta ētahi kōrero hei whakatau i tēnei:

• Ka whakamātauria koe e te tinana.
• Ka whakahaerehia he whakamātautau motuhake e pā ana ki te pūnaha io (whakamātautau Neurological).
• Ka whakarongo mātou ki ō tohu me ngā panonitanga o tō whanonga.
• Ka pātai atu rātou mō tō hītori hauora, inā koa mēnā kua whara tō mahunga.

Ehara i te mea he CTE te katoa e pāngia ana e ēnei tohu, nā te mea he maha atu anō ngā āhuatanga ka puta ai ngā tohu rite. Tērā pea ka hiahia tō tākuta ki te whakahaere i ētahi whakamātautau hei whakakore i aua āhuatanga.

• Ngā whakamātautau toto
• Matawai CT
• Matawai MRI
• Matawai PET
• Wero i te hope

He rongoā kei reira? He aha ngā mea ka taea te mahi?

Kāore he rongoā, he maimoatanga rānei e taea ai te whakakore i te kino o te roro i puta mai i te CTE. Heoi, he maha ngā mea ka taea e koe te mahi hei whakahaere i ō tohu me te whakangawari ake i tō oranga. Ka tūtohu pea tō tākuta i ngā maimoatanga pēnei i:

• Te rongoā whanonga hinengaro: He āwhina ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te ahotea me te manukanuka.
• Whakaora mahi: Ka whakarato taputapu me te āwhina hei whakahaere i ngā mahi o ia rā.
• Whakaora tinana: He āwhina i ngā raruraru e pā ana ki te taurite me te nekehanga o te tinana.
• Whakaora kōrero: He āwhina i ngā uauatanga ki te kōrero, ki te horomi rānei.

Kei te haere tonu ngā rangahau mō te CTE, nō reira pātai atu ki tō tākuta mō ngā whakamātautau haumanu mō ngā maimoatanga hou.

Āhea ahau me toro atu ki te tākuta?

Ki te whakaaro koe he whara tōu upoko, me toro atu ki te tākuta. Kaua e warewaretia, ina koa ehara tēnei i tō whara tuatahi. Kōrerotia ki te tākuta te maha o ngā wā kua whara tōu upoko.

He pai pea te pātai atu ki tō tākuta i ēnei pātai:

• He aha te tūponotanga ka pāngia ahau e te CTE?
• He haumaru mōku te haere tonu ki te tākaro hākinakina, ki te whai wāhi atu rānei ki ngā mahi ā-tinana?
• He aha te momo rongoā e hiahiatia ana e au ā muri ake nei?
• He aha ngā tohu, ngā huringa rānei me tino mōhio ahau?

He aha ngā mea hei tumanakohia ina noho tahi koe me te CTE?

He mate pumau, he mate mō te wā roa te CTE. He mate hoki e ahu whakamua ana . Ko te tikanga ka kino haere ngā tohu i te roanga o te wā. Engari ka tino puhoi te puta o ēnei huringa, i roto pea i ngā tau, i ngā tekau tau rānei.

Kāore te CTE e tino mōrearea ki te ora. Heoi, i te haere tonu o te mate, ka puta pea ngā raruraru, pērā i te uaua ki te mahi i ngā mahi o ia rā. I ngā wāhanga whakamutunga o te mate, me āwhina pea koe ki te kai, ki te kaukau, me te whakakakahu takitahi.

He mea noa te mataku me te pōhēhē ina rongo koe mō tēnei mate. Engari ehara i te mea ko koe anake. Ka taea e ngā tākuta me ngā tohunga hauora hinengaro te āwhina i a koe me tō whānau ki te whakatau i tēnei mate.
