One doesn't want to have facial tics, one doesn't want things to be routinized, and I think about that.

人们不希望有面部抽搐，不希望事情被常规化，我想过这个问题。

In fact, around 16% of participants diagnosed via TICS were incorrectly categorized as having Alzheimer's.

事实上，通过 TICS 诊断的参与者中，约有16%被错误地归类为老年痴呆症。

His eyes were popping, a tic was going in one of his pouchy cheeks, and the tartan scarf didn't help.

Of the three types of tic disorders, Tourette’s is considered to be the most severe.

It's a joke. It relies on the homonymic relationship between " tick, " the bloodsucking arachnid, and " tic, " the involuntary muscular contraction.

这是笑话，同音词嘛" tick" 是指吸血蜘蛛，而" tic" 是无识的肌肉痉挛。

Complex tics typically last longer, sometimes over a second, and are usually a combination of simple tics, like shaking one’s head while shrugging their shoulders.

复杂抽动过程较长，能持续超过一秒，常常表现为多个简单抽动的组合，比如在耸肩的同时摇头。

Since tics tend to lessen when the person is calm, reducing anxiety or depression can also help.

由于当人冷静时，抽动会变少，所以缓解焦虑情绪也会有帮助。

Complex motor tics can also include echopraxia, which is a tic-like repetition of the movements of others, as well as copropraxia—tics involving obscene gestures.

复杂动作性抽动也可以表现为模仿，即抽动性地模仿他人的行为，还可以表现为秽亵行为，即抽动性比下流手势。

Like Tourette’s the tics have to persist for at least 1 year and must have started before the age of 18.

不过和诊断Tourette综合征一样，该抽动须持续一年以上且在18岁前出现，才能被视为存在。

The results showed that one algorithm, in particular, the Extreme Gradient Boosting Model, may be better at identifying Alzheimer's than the more traditionally used TICS.

结果表明，有一种算法，特别是极端梯度增强模型，可能比传统用的 TICS 更能识别阿尔茨海默氏症。

There is no cure for tourette’s and other tic disorders, but tics can be managed through a combination of therapy and medications.

包括Tourette综合征在内的所有抽动障碍无法治愈，不过在药物和人为干预下，抽动可以被控制。

In some severe cases, botox injections to the site of the tic can help to minimize their appearance.

在极严重的病例中，肉毒杆菌素会被注射到抽动发起的部位，以掩盖抽动。

The important thing here is that both motor and verbal tics are present.

只要能确认动作性、发声性抽动均存在即可。
