1
Thousands of U .S troops in Iraq and Afghanistan sustained concussions and other brain injuries from roadside bombs.
2
But a new study suggests these injuries are not leading to a brain condition often seen in former boxers and football players.
3
NPR's John Hamilton reports.
4
In contact sports, concussions increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
5
It's a brain condition associated with dementia and a range of psychiatric disorders.
6
So many doctors have worried that CTE might be a factor in the mental health problems experienced by U .S.
7
combat troops exposed to bomb blasts.
8
Dr. Daniel Pearl is a professor of pathology at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda.
9
Their families were saying that their personalities had changed.
10
They were having trouble sleeping.
11
We know that the suicide problem is substantial.
12
PTSD is prevalent.
13
CTE can only be diagnosed after death.
14
So Pearl and a team decided to study a collection of brains donated by the families of deceased service members.
15
We said this was the opportunity to look at those brains and see how much CTE played a role in this problem.
16
The team looked at 225 brains, including many from military personnel who'd been exposed to bomb blasts.
17
Pearl says CTE was rare.
18
We could only find 10 cases that met the diagnostic criteria for CTE.
19
and then we found that all 10 had played contact sports.
20
The numbers are too small to say that contact sports caused the condition.
21
But Pearl says the findings, which appear in the New England Journal of Medicine, do support another conclusion.
22
Serving in the military and being exposed to blasts is probably not a significant risk factor for developing CTE.
23
Pearl says that's a good thing, but he adds that bomb blasts do injure the brain in ways that can have lasting effects.
24
One shouldn't go away thinking that because we didn't find CTE, the brain's normal.
25
That's clearly not the case.
26
Pearl says a growing body of evidence shows that exposure to bomb blasts can raise the risk of problems like PTSD.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
