Spanish to English: Clinical Research Study - Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) General field: Medical
Source text - Spanish INTRODUCCIÓN
La trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) es una enfermedad común pero elusiva que puede causar serios problemas e incluso la muerte si no es tratada adecuadamente. Se calcula que ocurre en el 1% de la población en los países occidentales produciendo millones de muertes todos los años. La muerte se produce cuando un trombo venoso se desprende y ocasiona una embolia pulmonar obstruyendo las arterias de los pulmones. La trombosis venosa profunda y la embolia pulmonar (EP) son complicaciones de muchos enfermos hospitalizados, pero también pueden ocurrir en personan sanas. La embolia pulmonar es más frecuente en las mujeres que en los hombres. El número de sujetos que mueren a causa de estas complicaciones es superior al número de mujeres que mueren de cáncer de mama. La EP es la causa de muerte más frecuente asociada al parto.
La TVP es una grave complicación de los pacientes sujetos a cirugía ortopédica y en los pacientes con cáncer y otras enfermedades crónicas. Los pacientes que sobreviven a un episodio inicial de TVP son propensos a desarrollar edema crónico en las piernas por haberse lesionado las válvulas venosas durante el proceso trombótico, lo que produce una hipertensión venosa. En algunos pacientes las ulceraciones y la dificultad en mover las piernas impiden una vida normal. Además, la recurrencia de episodios trombóticos es frecuente. Cuando la TVP y la EP se desarrollan como complicaciones de otras condiciones médicas o quirúrgicas, además de un mayor riesgo de mortalidad, aumentan los períodos de hospitalización y, en consecuencia, los gastos médicos.
Translation - English INTRODUCTION
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common but elusive illness that can cause serious problems and even death if not treated adequately. It is estimated to occur in 1% of the population in western countries resulting in millions of deaths every year. Death occurs when venous thrombi break off and form pulmonary emboli obstructing the lung arteries. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE) are complications that affect many hospitalized patients, but can also occur in healthy people. Pulmonary embolism is more frequent in women than in men. The number of subjects that die due to these complications is higher to the number of women who die due to breast cancer. PE is the most frequent cause of death related to childbirth.
DVT is a severe complication in patients subject to orthopedic surgery and in patients with cancer and other chronic diseases. Patients who survive an initial DVT episode are prone to developing chronic leg edema due to lesions occurred to venous valves during the thrombotic process, which produces venous hypertension. In some patients ulcers and the difficulty to move their legs prevent a normal life. Furthermore, recurrence of thrombotic episodes is frequent. When DVT and PE occur as complications of other medical or surgical conditions, besides a greater risk of mortality, hospitalization periods increase and, as a consequence, so do medical expenses.
Spanish to English: Mercado de consumo masivo: Champús General field: Marketing
Source text - Spanish Evolución Del Producto
Ante una demanda estancada, las empresas productoras de champús han ido optando desde hace ya muchos años por la búsqueda de valores añadidos y especializados en sus variedades de productos para conseguir ese elemento diferenciador que les permitan desmarcarse de los competidores.
Estos elementos buscados han ido variando con los años, y también con la moda. Los ingredientes naturales han sido importantes argumentos de Marketing. Las proteínas, vitaminas y otros aditivos activos han sido la base para la creación de nuevas categorías de productos. Provitaminas, keratina, hierbas, miel, polybine, avena, leche de almendras, aloe vera, etc. son algunos de los componentes actuales de los champús que han descubierto en ellos unos beneficios añadidos a la acción limpiadora básica del producto. Atrás parecen haber quedado los tiempos del “champú al huevo”, y mucho más atrás todavía la clasificación de “cabello normal, seco o graso” con la que los productos más avanzados de la época catalogaban al consumidor.
Todos estos aspectos de búsqueda de valor añadido condicionan en gran medida y son la base para las estrategias de Marketing, y dentro de éstas sobre todo las de publicidad.
Translation - English Product Evolution
Faced with a stagnant demand, shampoo manufacturing companies have opted for many years to search for specialized added values for their product varieties, in order to achieve a differentiator that allows them to stand out from competitors.
These sought for elements have changed throughout the years, and also according to fashion. Natural ingredients have been important Marketing strategies. Proteins, vitamins and other active additives have been the basis for the creation of new product categories. Provitamins, keratin, herbs, honey, polybine, oats, almond milk, aloe vera, etc. are some of the current shampoo ingredients that have shown to have added benefits to the product basic cleaning action. “Egg shampoo” seems to be long gone, and the “normal, dry or oily hair” classification, by which previous leading-edge products catalogued consumers, even more so.
All these sought for added value elements have a great influence and are the basis for Marketing strategies. Within these, they specifically affect those referred to advertising.
English to Spanish: Clinical Research Study – Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) General field: Medical
Source text - English Introduction
Rheumatoid-arthritis (RA) is a rather common chronic autoimmune disease causing inflammation in multiple joints of the hands, feet, and elsewhere in the body. The disease affects women more often than men and can occur in all age groups, with a peak incidence in the 4th and 5th decades of life. The prevalence in western societies is around 0.8%, making it the most common inflammatory musculoskeletal disease (osteoarthristis, which is more common, is considered a degenerative-metabolic disorder). Because of its chronic nature and its propensity to cause irreversible damage to the cartilaginous and bony structures in and around the joints, RA has a major impact on the quality of life of the patient. When inadequately treated, the course of the disease is typically chronic and undulating with progressively more joint destruction and increasing loss of physical function and handicap. The consequences for society are therefore also significant: RA is a major cause of long-term sick-leave and permanent disability, leading to very high costs to society from RA.
Translation - Spanish Introducción
La Artritis Reumatoide (RA, por sus siglas en inglés) es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica relativamente común que causa inflamación en múltiples articulaciones de las manos, los pies y de otras partes del cuerpo. La enfermedad afecta a las mujeres más frecuentemente que a los hombres y puede presentarse en todos los grupos etarios, con un pico de incidencia en la 4ta y 5ta década de vida. La prevalencia en los países occidentales es de aproximadamente el 0,8%, siendo la enfermedad músculo-esquelética inflamatoria más común (la osteoartritis, que es más común, es considerada como un trastorno degenerativo-metabólico). Debido a su naturaleza crónica y a su propensión a causar daños irreversibles a las estructuras cartilaginosas y óseas dentro y alrededor de las articulaciones, la RA tiene un impacto importante en la calidad de vida del paciente. Cuando se la trata inadecuadamente, la evolución de la enfermedad es típicamente crónica y ondulante con una destrucción progresiva incremental de las articulaciones y un aumento de la pérdida de las funciones físicas y de discapacidad. Las consecuencias para la sociedad son por lo tanto significativas: la RA es una de las causas más importantes de licencias por enfermedad de largo plazo y discapacidad permanente, lo cual conduce a un costo muy alto para la sociedad producto de la RA.

Experience
Years of experience: 15. Registered at ProZ.com: Mar 2012.
Granddaughter to English and Danish immigrants, English has been the language spoken at home always and still is. Born in Argentina, I was raised in a Spanish speaking environment. Both languages are equally natural to me, going from one to the other is no effort.
I remember my grandmother reading to us for hours, Dickens, Kipling, Shakespeare, … explaining to us that this was their ‘evening TV session’ when young. This passion for books was thus passed on.
I have a BA in Business Management and have also studied Hotel Management/Tourism.
I worked for over 10 years for Unilever Latin America in the areas of Marketing, Media and Marketing Research, developing, launching and communicating new consumer goods. Getting to know the target was essential, listening out for new insights, words that appeared to have more to them, potential to be turned into ideas. Wording was essential, phrasing had to be precise, hitting the nail on the head was the key to success. Concepts and all supportive material were developed in both languages.
I then went on to develop our own construction business. Here there was also a lot of wording and concept development, as well as business case presentations to investors. www.buildgreens.com.ar
We then decided as a family to move down South, Patagonia, shifting to a quieter environment.
I have been working as a full-time freelance translator since 2009.
Initially, almost exclusively for Quintiles Argentina S.A., an important clinical research company, translating/proof-reading protocols, investigator brochures, informed consent forms, Ministry of Health and Ethics Committees documents and contracts for Latin America. Clinical Research involves an intensive work rhythm and very short deadlines (please see letter of recommendation attached). I have also incorporated other clients within this area.
My translating experience has also extended into Business Management, Marketing and Strategy and Tourism through Deloitte Consulting SRL (Argentina) and Buzios Tour Business Plus (Argentina).
Every translating project is a challenge in itself. Specific terms must be cross-checked, best usage confirmed, wording must be precise, grammar must be perfect. This is what I enjoy doing.
Horse riding and mountain trekking are my outdoor passions. I also love knitting and reading to my children.
I look forward to working with you!
