দৈব উপায়ে Explanation: As per the example sentence "Beside you will be given either test drug (Examitity) or reference drug (twailipin) in a blinded fashion.", it appears that 'blinded fashion' is nothing but 'random choice/selection'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2013-12-25 02:49:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- অথবা, দৈব চয়ন ভিত্তিতে Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +1আপনাকে জানানো হবে না Explanation: Clinical Trials are carried out in two ways: 1. Open Level: Where both the research participant and the study doctor KNOW whether the patient is receiving the test drug or the reference drug. 2. Blinded Fashion: Where both the research participant and the study doctor DO NOT KNOW whether the patient is receiving the test drug or the reference drug. So, a meaningful translation of "Beside you will be given either test drug (Examitity) or reference drug (twailipin) in a blinded fashion." would be: "আপনাকে গবেষণাধীন ওষুধ (Examitity) বা রেফারেন্স ওষুধের (twailipin) মধ্যে যে কোনো একটি দেয়া হবে, কিন্তু কোনটি দেয়া হবে তা আপনাকে জানানো হবে না৷" |

ব্লাইন্ড-ট্রায়াল পদ্ধতিতে Explanation: It looks like the source text is talking about what is known in medical or drug research as Blind Experiment (also known as - blind trial). It is used in physics and forensics too. In your case, it seems it is used for medicine / drug testing purposes though. A blind or blinded experiment or trial (clinical) is a test or experiment procedure in which information about the test that might lead to bias in the results is concealed from the tester / administrator, the subject, or both - until after the test. For example, in a drug experiment / trial, some participating subjects might be given placebos (fake drugs), while others are given real ones. The subjects are not told who received the real drug and who received placebos. The objective could be to see if the subjects administered with the real ones make significant improvement, compared to the ones administered with placebos. This experiment may show that the real drug really works and benefits. Blinding can be imposed on researchers, technicians, subjects, and funders. There are several kinds of Blind tests / trials: 1. Single-blind trials; 2. Double-blind trials; 3. Triple-blind trials. 1. Single-blind trials: Single-blind describes experiments where information that could introduce bias or otherwise skew the result is withheld from the participants, but the experimenter will be in full possession of the facts. an experimental procedure in which the experimenters but not the subjects know the makeup of the test and control groups during the actual course of the experiments 2. Double-blind describes an especially stringent way of conducting an experiment which attempts to eliminate subjective, unrecognized biases carried by an experiment's subjects and conductors. It is an experimental procedure in which neither the subjects nor the experimenters know which subjects are in the test and control groups during the actual course of the experiments. 3. A triple-blind study is an extension of the double-blind design; the committee monitoring response variables is not told the identity of the groups. The committee is simply given data for groups A and B. A triple-blind study has the theoretical advantage of allowing the monitoring committee to evaluate the response variable results more objectively. Note: I don't see any suitable Bengali translation for the source term "blinded" (in this context). This is a widely used established terminology in Medical Science, and in science in general. It shouldn't be translated willy-nilly, blindly - in a literal sense, without any thought or consideration. In fact, a lot of thought and consideration should be given in translating such terms. In translating terms used in specialized areas, you should at least consider 4 things seriously, apart from the literal meaning - Sense (what the term really refers too, sometimes which can easily be quite different from the exact literal meaning in normal language), context, target audience, and avoiding any potential whatsoever for misrepresentation/ misunderstanding / confusion / ambiguity etc in the light of the first three. If your translated term (i.e. the bengali word you want to use) is not already in use by the target audience or the user group of the pertinent specialized area (and instead the source is used), or if the translated term has the potential to introduce any ambiguity, confusion or misunderstanding - then, it is better, safer, and wiser to use the source term in a transliterated form (perhaps the source in its original script can also be added inside braces). My translation: In light of all the above, and since I can't find any equivalent Bengali-language term already widely accepted or used by Bengali-speaking professionals, researchers or academicians in the medical field, and since I can't come up with any translation that conceptually remains FULLY faithful to the source term and yet be understood easily, instantly, FULLY and UNAMBIGUOUSLY by the target audience in the same light, and since the source term doesn't mention what kind of blind test it is (single, double or what), I suggest the following translation for in a blinded fashion :-- ব্লাইন্ড-ট্রায়াল পদ্ধতিতে ======================================== Source: 1.
