1
We would just give an aspirin to somebody who has a stroke.
2
Since the early 2000s we can take catheters up into the brain.
3
Since 2015 the trials have shown that actually you can basically reverse stroke, stroke symptoms.
4
When we think about stroke, we talk about stroke for all intents and purposes majority of the time.
5
What the general public regards as a stroke is a condition where a blood clot occludes a blood vessel in the brain.
6
It's a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the community.
7
If you think about a heart attack being an occlusion of a blood vessel in the heart, a stroke is an occlusion of the blood vessel in the brain.
8
Different from a heart attack, the blood clot
9
that occludes the blood vessel in the brain often times travels from a different part of the body
10
and gets stuck in the blood vessel in the brain,
11
thereby disrupting the blood flow to that part of the brain which can give you all kinds of symptoms including paralysis,
12
loss of speech, inability to understand or to talk and the swelling
13
that occurs after a stroke on the brain as the brain succumbs from the lack of oxygen then can lead to death.
14
Managing stroke includes rapid imaging including scans of the head.
15
Certain subset of patients gets taken to an angiovascular suite where we do cerebrovascular studies
16
and it's basically an operating room with two independent machines
17
that allow us to obtain three-dimensional imaging and watch blood flow
18
or watch where the actual obstruction is
19
and we're able to go in with small little catheters
20
and either deliver medicine or actually really suck out a clot and remove a blockage.
21
The way we decide which patients are candidates for mechanical thrombectomy
22
or the surgery for stroke is based on the size of the vessel that is occluded.
23
Usually patients will have some very small vessels that
24
that we are not able to reach with the tools that we have today.
25
And these are strokes that happen for different reasons.
26
The strokes that we can treat with surgery are usually called the large vessel occlusion strokes.
27
And these are vessels that we are able to reach with the catheters that we have nowadays
28
and able to safely open the vessel and restore blood flow.
29
And this is a time sensitive decision, right?
30
You will see the stroke symptoms, you'll call right away because based on the timing, we can offer the patient treatments.
31
Usually within 24 hours for the surgery, and within three to four and a half hours for what we call a thrombolytic,
32
which is the medication that will burst the clot.
33
The type of stroke, which is called a hemorrhagic stroke, where a blood vessel bursts in the brain, and it can burst in different compartments in the brain.
34
We talked about an aneurysm an aneurism is a bubble on the blood vessel where you can have bleeding
35
or we can identify where the leakage point is
36
and then occlude the leakage speak by injection of a drop of crazy glue or different types of so-called embolic materials.
脳卒中治療についての会話:日常英語学習のヒント
このビデオでは、神経血管専門家たちが脳卒中の治療法について話し合っています。医学的な用語が多いですが、日常英語の学習にも役立つフレーズや表現がたくさん含まれています。特に、英語シャドーイング(shadow speak)の練習に最適な素材です。
日常会話に使える5つのフレーズ
- "for all intents and purposes":実質的に、事実上。例:"For all intents and purposes, the project is finished."(事実上、プロジェクトは終了している)
- "occludes a blood vessel":血管を閉塞する。医学用語ですが、"occlude"は「塞ぐ」という意味で一般的にも使えます。
- "time sensitive decision":時間に敏感な決定。例:"This is a time sensitive decision, so we need to act fast."(これは時間に敏感な決定なので、早く行動しないと)
- "restore blood flow":血流を回復させる。"restore"は「回復させる」「復元する」という意味で、日常でもよく使われます。
- "burst the clot":血栓を溶解する。"burst"は「破裂させる」ですが、ここでは「溶解する」という意味で使われています。
このビデオのシャドーイング練習ガイド
まず、ビデオを1回聴いて全体の流れを把握しましょう。医学用語が多いので、聞き取れない単語はメモして後で調べます。次に、shadowspeakの基本ステップを実践します:
- 1文ずつ止めながら、同じ速さで繰り返します。特に"occludes"や"thrombolytic"などの難しい単語の発音に注意しましょう。
- イントネーションやストレスを真似ます。専門家同士の会話なので、落ち着いた語調が特徴です。
- 全体を一度に聴いて、自然な流れで話せるようになるまで繰り返し練習します。shadow speechのコツは、「聞いたら即座に真似る」ことです。
このビデオを使ってシャドーイングを続けると、医学用語だけでなく、論理的な会話の展開方法も学べます。ぜひ毎日10分ずつ練習してみてください!
シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
