Hi, I'm David Liebeskin speaking to you from the USC Neurovascular Institute, talking to you about collateral circulation.
2
So collateral circulation we know has been important for hundreds of years in terms of blood flow in the brain
3
and specifically with respect to ischemia or ischemic stroke, both in terms of different stages in terms of the onset of stroke, the likelihood that you're going to develop a stroke,
4
as well as in terms of what happens once someone does have a stroke.
5
Collaterals are important.
6
These are these alternative blood flow channels that provide blood flow when the main artery is blocked to the brain, and it offsets the ischemic injury or the damage that is done.
7
It is a compensatory mechanism where the brain actually is able
8
to sustain itself against the lack of blood flow in that region of the brain.
9
Collateral circulation is seen with a variety of different imaging methods, and this is where we've learned the most about collateral circulation from originally from angiography
10
and in most recent decades from non-invasive imaging as well.
11
So we see correlates of collateral circulation in terms of every type of imaging that we do.
12
Indirect correlations, so not necessarily the direct collaterals themselves, but the collateral blood flow or perfusion,
13
the collateral arterial roots or the connections or anastomosis that we call them, as well as the consequences in terms of what happens in terms of the amount of ischemic damage,
14
as well as what can happen in terms of reperfusion injury and hemorrhage.
15
So collaterals are important because they reflect the likelihood we're able to reperfuse the brain, to what extent, and the recovery after stroke as well.
16
So grading collaterals is very important.
17
We do this routinely as an imaging core lab, but it's done in routine practice on a daily basis from non-invasive as well as angiographic methods.
18
Collateral circulation has been associated with different demographics, different patient status, comorbidities as well.
19
And it is important to think about these things in terms of diagnosing patients, not just with stroke, but in terms of their collateral status and the likelihood that they're gonna rapidly progress or not.
20
This is important because we can plan treatment based on that.
21
We can plan how aggressive we need to be, or should be, in training that acute ischemic stroke with endovascular therapy or other alternative approaches.
22
Increasingly, and in recent years, this is important in terms of neuroprotection or cytoprotection, where we try alternative methods of protecting the brain.
23
Patients with poor collaterals may have a greater need for neuroprotection or cytoprotection, where the brain is not able to recover as well.
24
So grading collaterals in terms of these indirect measures on imaging is important, whether with CT or MRI techniques. In sum,
25
collaterals are very important in terms of how patients do from A to Z throughout the entire course of the disease.
26
And it's very important to use the imaging
27
that we have available on a daily basis to estimate what we can do from a therapeutic standpoint.
28
Thank you.

この動画は誰におすすめ?

YouTubeで英語学習をしている中級者向けです。医学用語を含む専門的な内容を聞き取り、スピーチのリズムを覚えたい人に最適です。特にshadowing practice(シャドーイング練習)をしている方には、論理的な説明の流れを追いながら発音を磨く良い機会です。

覚えておきたい単語と表現

  • collateral circulation:側副循環(主要な血管が詰まった時に代わりに血液を送る血管網)
  • ischemic stroke:虚血性脳卒中(血管が詰まって脳に酸素が届かない状態)
  • reperfusion injury:再灌流障害(詰まった血管が開いた後に起こる組織の損傷)
  • offset the damage:損傷を抑える(「offset」は「相殺する」という意味で、ここでは損傷の影響を減らすこと)

アクセントと発音のコツ

話者の発音は明瞭でリズミカルです。特に長い単語のアクセントに注意しましょう。例えば「collateral」は「コラテラル」ではなく「コラテラル」(アクセントは最初の音节)、「ischemic」は「イスケミック」(アクセントは2番目の音节)です。shadow speakの練習時は、句読点の間で息を吸うタイミングも模倣してみてください。これが自然なスピーチの流れを作る秘訣です。また、「as well as」「in terms of」などの接続語句の発音は軽く、流れるように話すことで、よりネイティブらしい表現ができます。

この動画を使ってshadowing siteで練習すれば、専門用語の理解と同時に発音とリズムを向上させることができます。ぜひ繰り返し聞いて、自分の口から自然に出てくるように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。
