English to Spanish: String Theory Interview on Scientific American Nov 2003 General field: Science Detailed field: Physics
Source text - English SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN:Sometimes when our readers hear the words “string theory” or “cosmology,” they throw up their hands and say, “I’ll never understand it.”
BRIAN GREENE:I’ve definitely encountered a certain amount of intimidation at the outset when it comes to ideas like string theory or cosmology. But what I have found is that the basic interest is so widespread and so deep in most people that I’ve spoken with, that there is a willingness to go a little bit further than you might with other subjects that are more easily taken in.
SA:I noticed that at several points in The Elegant Universe, you first gave a rough idea of the physics concepts and then the detailed version.
BG:I found that to be a useful way of going about it, especially in the harder parts. It gives the reader permission: If the rough idea is the level at which you want to take it in, that’s great; feel free to skip this next stuff. If not, go for it. I like to say things more than one way. I just think that when it comes to abstract ideas, you need many roads into them. From the scientific point of view, if you stick with one road, I think you really compromise your ability to make breakthroughs. I think that’s really what breakthroughs are about. Everybody’s look- ing at a problem one way, and you come at it from the back. That different way of getting there somehow reveals things that the other approach didn’t.
Translation - Spanish SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: A veces cuando nuestros lectores escuchan las palabras “teoría de cuerdas” o “cosmología”, alzan las manos dándose por vencidos y dicen “Nunca lo voy a entender”.
BRIAN GREENE: Definitivamente me he topado con intimidación al principio cuando se trata de ideas como la teoría de cuerdas o la cosmología. Pero de lo que me he dado cuenta es que el interés fundamental está tan difundido y es tan profundo en la mayoría de las personas con las que he hablado que existe la voluntad de ir un poco más allá de lo que se podría con otros temas que son más fácilmente aceptados.
SA: Me percaté de que en muchos puntos de El universo elegante, tu das una idea general de los conceptos de la física y luego una versión detallada.
BG: Me di cuenta que era una manera útil de tratar las cosas, especialmente en las partes más difíciles. Le da la libertad al lector: Si el nivel al que quieres llegar es la idea general, perfecto; sáltate lo que sigue. Si no, éntrale. Me gusta decir las cosas en más de una manera. Es que cuando se trata de ideas abstractas, creo que se necesitan varios caminos para llegar a éstas. Desde el punto de vista científico, si te aferras a un camino, pienso que pones seriamente en riesgo tu habilidad de lograr grandes avances. Creo que en realidad de eso se tratan los avances. Todo el mundo está viendo el problema desde un ángulo y uno lo aborda por detrás. Esa manera distinta de abordarlo revela de algún modo cosas que la otra no podía.
English to Spanish: Aspirin vs. Recurrent Miscarriage General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Recurrent miscarriage (three or more consecutive losses of pregnancy) is experienced by 1 to 2% of fertile women. Causes include the antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia, parental balanced translocations, uterine abnormalities (Mullerian fusion defects, fibroids) and bacterial vaginosis. No apparent cause is found in approximately 50% of cases.
Several treatments have been used have been used either as single agents or in combination to improve the rate of live births in women with recurrent miscarriage with anti-phospholipid antibodies. These include corticosteroids, low dose aspirin, heparin and immunoglobulins.
Translation - Spanish El aborto espontáneo recurrente (pérdida consecutiva de tres o más embarazos) se presenta en 1 a 2% de las mujeres fértiles. Entre las causas se encuentran el síndrome antifosfolipídico, la trombofilia, translocación balanceada de los progenitores, las malformaciones uterinas (defectos de fusión de los conductos müllerianos, fibromas) y la vaginosis bacteriana. No se encuentran causas aparentes en aproximadamente 50% de los casos.
Se han aplicado diversos tratamientos, ya sea de monoterapia o terapia en combinación, para incrementar la tasa de nacidos vivos en mujeres con anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos que presentan abortos espontáneos recurrentes. Entre estos tratamientos se incluyen corticosteroides, aspirina en dosis baja, heparina e inmunoglobulinas.
English to Spanish: Keppra Levetiracetam Abreviated Product Information (little extract) General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Source text - English The most commonly reported undesirable effects were somnolence, hostility, nervousness, emotional lability, agitation, anorexia, asthenia and headache in the paediatric population. Safety results in paediatric patients were consistent with the safety profile of levetiracetam in adults except for behavioural and psychiatric adverse events which were more common in children than in adults (38.6% versus 18.6%). However, the relative risk was similar in children as compared to adults. Undesirable effects that resulted from Keppra intavenous use are similar to those associated with Keppra oral use.
Translation - Spanish Los efectos indeseables reportados más comúnmente en la población pediátrica fueron somnolencia, hostilidad, nerviosismo, labilidad emocional, agitación, anorexia, astenia y cefalea. Los resultados de seguridad en pacientes pediátricos fueron consistentes con el perfil de seguridad del levetiracetam en adultos con excepción de los casos adversos psiquiátricos y conductuales que fueron más comunes en niños que en adultos (38.6% contra 18.6%). Sin embargo, el riesgo relativo fue similar tanto en niños como en adultos. Los efectos indeseables que resultaron del uso de Keppra solución intravenosa fueron similares a los asociados al uso de Keppra solución oral.
