1
Tardif dyskinesia is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrollable,
2
abnormal, and repetitive movements, which can include grimacing, sticking out of the tongue, smacking the lips, as well as jerky,
3
involuntary movements of other body parts.
4
These can be very disruptive to both the patient and their family and can be very difficult to diagnose, particularly in the earliest stages when movements can be very subtle.
5
Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia can often be persistent and potentially disabling.
6
Tardive dyskinesia is caused by the prolonged use of specific drugs that block so-called dopamine receptors in the brain.
7
These are particularly medications that are referred to as antipsychotics, which are commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as schizophrenia,
8
bipolar disorder, and even depression.
9
The condition first appeared in the 1950s after the introduction of drugs like Thorazine for the treatment of psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia.
10
But there are also certain anti-nausea medications that can also cause targeted dyskinesia like metoclopramide or Reglan.
11
He's also blocked dopamine receptors.
12
The condition typically develops after months or even years of treatment and can persist even off the drugs.
13
The diagnosis is based on the symptoms after ruling out other potential causes.
14
What makes tardive dyskinesia particularly challenging is that the drugs that cause the disorder can also mask the symptoms.
15
So patients may manifest tardive dyskinesia as they reduce the dose or discontinue the use of these dopamine-blocking drugs.
16
This underscores the need for a movement disorder specialist to be involved in the diagnosis and the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.
17
Fortunately, this can be managed, even though it's challenging.
18
There are so-called atypical neuroleptic medications that now exist that can reduce the risk of developing tardive dyskinesia,
19
And there are even drugs that have been approved for the specific indication of treating patients with these very troubling symptoms.
20
Treatments such as valbenazine or ingresa and dutrabenazine and others,
21
even botulium toxin, have also been used for the treatment of symptoms of tardive dyskinesia.
22
While the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia can be persistent and potentially disabling, after the discontinuation of an antipsychotic, the symptoms can be managed.
背景与背景知识
马特·斯特恩在这段视频中介绍了迟发性运动障碍（tardive dyskinesia），这是一种以不受控制、异常和重复的运动为特征的运动障碍。这些运动可能包括面部扭曲、伸舌头、拍嘴以及其他身体部位的抽动。患者及其家人都可能受到很大影响，诊断时常常具有挑战性，尤其在早期阶段，症状可能非常微妙。了解这些症状对于学习英语的学生来说，可以提高他们在医学与健康相关领域的英语沟通能力。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- “不自觉的运动” - 描述一种无法控制的动作，有助于理解运动障碍的症状。
- “抗精神病药物” - 指用于治疗精神疾病的药物，这在健康话题的讨论中非常常见。
- “症状管理” - 掌握这一短语有助于与患者或医生进行有效沟通。
- “诊断过程” - 用于描述识别疾病所需的步骤，提升专业术语的掌握。
- “运动障碍专家” - 了解这一职业词汇有助于在医学领域的对话中增强自信心。
逐步跟读练习指南
为了在观看马特·斯特恩的视频时提高英语发音，您可以参考以下“逐步跟读”方法。这种方法对于学习如何进行有效的shadow speech（跟读练习）尤其有效，将是您雅思口语练习的良好补充。
- 选择短句：从视频中挑选出一句简单的句子，如“迟发性运动障碍的症状可能很难识别。”
- 逐句跟读：先听马特·斯特恩说这句话，然后慢慢模仿他的语音和语调。
- 重复练习：多次重复这句短语，确保您的发音接近原声。
- 语速调整：在您自信后，尝试逐渐加快说话速度，靠近母语者的语速。
- 录音对比：用手机录下您的发音，然后与视频中的原声进行比较，以找到改进之处。
通过这样的跟读练习，您可以有效提升自己的英语口音和流利度，尤其是在看YouTube学英语时，这种方法可以大大增强您的学习效果。
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。
