More Football Players Found to Suffer From Degenerate
足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員的"隱形殺手"
On February 17 former Chicago Bears football player Dave Duerson killed himself with a gun shot to the chest.
二月17日，前芝加哥熊隊(duì)足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員Dave Duerson用一把槍抵著自己的胸部自殺了。
Doctors later found that Duerson had a condition in common with more than 20 other dead football players in the U.S.: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE, a degenerative disease linked to impulsive behavior, depression and dementia. And Duerson thought he had it. Which is why he took great care to leave his brain intact for study.
醫(yī)護(hù)人員隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)Duerson和其他20多名美國死亡的足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員有一個(gè)普遍特性：慢性創(chuàng)傷性腦病（簡稱CET），一種與沖動(dòng)行為、抑郁以及癡呆相關(guān)的變性疾病。而Duerson認(rèn)為自己得了這種病，正因?yàn)槿绱?，他小心翼翼的保存自己大腦的完整以供研究。
And concerns have been growing that the concussions and other head injuries that are common in the NFL might be to blame.
隨著社會(huì)輿論的不斷關(guān)注，在NFL中常見的腦震蕩或其他腦損傷可能會(huì)承擔(dān)一些責(zé)任。
Last week the Canadian Sports Concussion Project announced the results from brain autopsies of four CFL football players. Bobby Kuntz, a former Toronto Argonaut and Jay Roberts, who played for the Ottawa Roughriders, showed classic signs of CTE. But Peter Ribbons, a Winnipeg Blue Bomber, and Tony Proudfoot, from the Montreal Alloettes, showed no signs. All four played when it was common to spear opponents with head-first tackles.
上周，加拿大運(yùn)動(dòng)性腦震蕩項(xiàng)目宣布了4名CFL足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員的大腦解剖結(jié)果。前多倫多亞爾古隊(duì)隊(duì)員Bobby Kuntz和曾為渥太華野蠻騎士隊(duì)踢球的Jay Roberts有典型的CTE癥狀。但是溫尼伯藍(lán)色轟炸機(jī)隊(duì)的Peter Ribbons和蒙特利爾云雀隊(duì)的Tony Proudfoot并無癥狀。這四位的共同特點(diǎn)都是用頭部攔截對手的球。
The Canadian Project seeks more brain donations from former contact sport athletes. To try to find out why some seem able to avoid CTE, while others tragically are not.
加拿大項(xiàng)目旨在從前接觸型運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目運(yùn)動(dòng)員中獲得更多的大腦捐贈(zèng)，試圖找出為什么有些運(yùn)動(dòng)員可以避免CTE，而有些卻悲劇的無法避免。
