Serbian to English: Teach Yourself The Psychology and Astrology of Human Relationships
Source text - Serbian Five to Six
Jupiter opposition Jupiter and Saturn sextile Saturn.
The typical five-year old is a charming delight. The exub-erance of Jupiter and the self-discipline of Saturn combine and the child seems like a perfectly formed miniature adult. Many children are just starting school at this age, the Jupiter opposition being manifest as great happy enthusiasm for what school teaches, and the Saturn sextile ensures that the child easily accomodates to the new restrictions imposed on him by the rules of school. Now, for the first time, he begins to have to fend for himself, away from the protection of his mother, and this is also a significant and poignant moment for parents as they become fully conscious that healthy parenting means letting go of their dependence on their childÕs depend-ence on them. But, by and large, this is a stage of equilibrium and balance and the child moves forward confidently to enlarge his world and achieve his goals without being difficult to control or being aggressively competitive with his peers.
But beneath this delightful surface, in his relationships to his mother and father, the child is in the middle of the most influential experiences of his life. He is learning about sexuality and all the other emotions associated with forming satisfactory relationships to other people. He is becoming emotionally literate, and the parentsÕ insightful handling of these issues will be the basis of the childÕs happy relationships with other people for the rest of his life.
Translation - English Od pete do šeste godine
Jupiter u opoziciji sa Jupiterom i Saturn u sekstilu sa Saturnom
Tipično petogodišnje dete je pravo uživanje. Zanos Jupitera i samodisciplina Saturna se kombinuju i čine da nam dete deluje kao «odrasli u malom». Mnoga deca u ovom uzrastu kreću u školu, pa se opozicija Jupitera ispoljava kroz radost i entuzijazam zbog onoga što će naučiti u školi, dok se sekstil Saturna pobrinuo oko toga da se dete sa lakoćom prilagodi novim ograničenjima koja mu školska pravila nameću. Ovo je prvi put da dete mora da vodi računa samo o sebi, bez majčine zaštite. Istovremeno je to značajan i upečatljiv trenutak i za roditelje koji u potpunosti postaju svesni da zdravo roditeljstvo znači i puštanje deteta da se osamostali. Generalno gledano, ovo je faza ravnoteže i balansa, i dete sa sigurnošću kreće napred sa ciljem da proširi svoj svet i ostvari svoje ciljeve, dok ga istovremeno nije teško kontrolisati, niti se ono na agresivan način takmiči sa svojim vršnjacima.
Međutim, ispod ove ljupke površine, u svom odnosu sa majkom i ocem, dete doživljava najuticajnija iskustva svog života. Ono uči o seksualnosti i svim ostalim osećanjima koja su povezana sa formiranjem uspešnih odnosa sa drugim ljudima. Postaje pismeno u emocionalnom smislu, a način na koji se roditelji bave ovim problemima će biti osnova na kojoj će dete do kraja života graditi zdrave odnose sa drugim ljudima.
Serbian to English: Neurotoxicity During Induction Therapy For Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Profile of Two Patients General field: Medical
Source text - Serbian Kratak sadržaj
Uvod. Tokom lečenja akutne limfoblastne leukemije (APL) kod dece javljaju se akutni neurotoksični poremećaji. Hemioterapijsko lečenje dece obuhvata intravensku i intratekalnu primenu metotreksata. Mnogi lekovi se koriste zajedno s metotreksatom, ali se neurotoksičnost najviše pripisuje ovom leku. Akutna neurotoksičnost izazvana metotreksatom se ispoljava simptomima sličnim apopleksiji, a to su: afazija, slabost ekstremiteta, senzorni deficit, ataksija i epileptični napadi.
Translation - English Abstract
Introduction. During the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children develop neurotoxic disorders. Chemotherapy for children includes intravenous and intrathecal administration of methotrexate. Though multiple medications are used in combination with methotrexate, neurotoxicity is mainly considered to be methotrexate-related. Acute methotrexate neurotoxicity is characterized by apoplexy-like symptoms, such as: aphasia, weakness of the extremities, sensory deficit, ataxia and epileptic seizures.
