Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te wā i kitea ai te mate pukupuku roro o Sandra Hilburn i te tau 2006, i kīia ki a ia e toru marama noa iho tōna oranga. E iwa tau - e rima hoki nga mokopuna - i muri mai, kei te kaha tonu te 68-tau-tau o te reti mai i New Jersey, ā, he mihi katoa ki te maimoatanga whakamātautau e pā ana ki tētahi kano ārai mate noa. Ko Hillburn, o Fort Lee, New Jersey, tetahi o nga turoro mate pukupuku 12 i hoatu he werohanga tetanus hei waahanga o te rangahau hou i whakahaerehia i te Whare Hauora o Duke University. I kitea e ngā kairangahau ko te horopeta tetanus ka roa ake te ora o ngā tūroro pēnei i a Hillburn ina tāpirihia ki tētahi maimoatanga whakamātautau mō te momo pukupuku roro tino noa, tino whakamate hoki, ko te tetanus. I te Paenga-whāwhā 2006, i te wā i kitea ai e Sandy Hillburn he mate glioblastoma - te momo pukupuku roro tino noa iho, tino whakamate hoki - e rua, e toru marama noa iho tana noho. Mauruuru ki te maimoatanga whakamātautau e pā ana ki te kano ārai mate tetanus-diphtheria, ka kite a Hillburn (i runga i te pokapū) i te whanautanga o ētahi atu mokopuna tokorima. Ko te 'whakaoho i te pūnaha ārai mate,' e whakatakoto ana i te ara mo te maimoatanga whakamātautau kia pai ake ai te whakaeke i te mate, e ai ki te kairangahau a Kristen Batich o Duke University Medical Center. I roto i tētahi pepa i whakaputaina i te Wenerei e te niupepa Nature, ka whakaahuatia e ia me ētahi atu he rangahau i runga i ngā tūroro 12. Ko ētahi i werohia ki te tetanus i ora roa ake i te hunga kihai i werohia. Ko Dr. John Sampson o Duke, te kaituhi matua o te ripoata, i kiia ko nga hua e whakaari ana engari i kii ko te rangahau he iti, a i kii he nui ake nga rangahau hei whakapumau i nga hua. Kua whakamaherehia he rangahau whai muri engari kaore ano kia whakauruhia nga tuuroro, e kii ana a Batich. I miharo nga tohunga mate pukupuku roro e kore e pā ana ki te mahi. Ko nga hua 'he tino whakaongaonga,' e ai ki a Dr. Nader Sanai o te Barrow Neurological Institute i Phoenix. Ahakoa i whakaae ia he nui ake te mahi e hiahiatia ana, 'ko te mea kua whiwhi koe i tenei wa, he tino korero pai.' E mōhiotia ana hoki te tetanus ko te lockjaw. Ka tūtohutia ngā kano ārai mate mō ngā tamariki me ngā pakeke. Ko te rangahau hou i arotahi ki te glioblastoma,...
Ko Sandra Hillburn, 68, i kitea he mate glioblastoma mutunga i te Paenga-whāwhā 2006. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te whakauru ki tētahi rangahau whakamātautau 12 tūroro i te Whare Wānanga o Duke. I hoatu e nga Kairangahau he werohanga tetanus. I maimoatia ngā tūroro ki tētahi huinga o te pokanga, te radiation me te chemotherapy me te tetanus- diphtheria werohanga. I kitea e te rangahau ko ngā tūroro i werohia ki te tetanus i ora roa ake i te hunga kāore i werohia.
