Si bien la mayoría de los pacientes reciben el diagnóstico de cáncer de pulmón en etapas avanzadas, cuando ya es difícil revertirlo, los resultados son significativamente mejores en aquellos individuos que son diagnosticados en sus fases más tempranas, cuando el tumor es aún resecable por cirugía.
Cuando la enfermedad es detectada a tiempo, el riesgo de mortalidad asociado al cáncer de pulmón desciende. Por eso, la detección oportuna es la principal terapéutica con que la medicina cuenta en la actualidad, más allá de la prevención, para intentar anticiparse a sus efectos.
| Translation - English
Although lung cancer is most often diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease, when it is difficult to reverse, results are significantly better in those individuals diagnosed at early stages, when the tumor is still surgically resectable.
When the disease is detected in time, the risk of death from lung cancer is reduced. For this reason, timely detection is, apart from prevention, the main currently available therapy to try to anticipate its effects.

Home to more than one-third of Argentina¹s population, Buenos Aires finally has all eyes on the future.
It¹s been said about other cities, it¹s true. But if there was ever a contest for the official City of Contradictions, Buenos Aires would stand a good chance of coming first. Opulent and squalid, grand and decaying, Old World, New World, First World, Third World it¹s no wonder residents of the city have always struggled to define their place in the world. Is it Europe or Latin America?
The answer is a little of both. The style, architecture and culture of successive generations of immigrants has shaped a city that seems, in parts, closer to many European capitals than its Latin American counterparts. Furthermore, Argentina has by far the highest standard of living in Latin America, with an economy that produces a GNP per capita of about $8,500 that¹s almost twice as much as Brazil or Mexico, and seven times greater than Bolivia. In the city of Buenos Aires, that figure rises to around $21,600 per person, comparable with Italy, France or Britain.
But try telling that to many of its inhabitants, wracked by two recessions in the past five years. Over a quarter of the population of Greater Buenos Aires lives in poverty, without the means to buy basic goods and services. And with unemployment in the city stuck above 13 per cent, more are joining their ranks every day. Wages are down, prices of virtually everything have fallen in the past couple of years and homes all over the city are up for sale.
A survey taken at the start of 2001 showed Argentines to be among the most pessimistic people in the world. In part, that¹s down to the character of the porteños themselves their famed melancholy is practically a way of life. But it also has much to do with a series of dramatic changes that have swept the country in the past decade, leaving its inhabitants very much in doubt as to which way they are headed.

Hogar de más de un tercio de la población argentina, Buenos Aires tiene finalmente la mirada puesta en el futuro.
Esto se ha dicho de otras ciudades, es cierto. Pero si hubiera un concurso para elegir a la ciudad oficial de las contradicciones, Buenos Aires tendría muchas posibilidades de ganarlo. Opulenta y escuálida, esplendorosa y decadente, Viejo Mundo, Nuevo Mundo, Primer Mundo y Tercer Mundo, no es extraño que los residentes de esta ciudad hayan dudado siempre a la hora de definir su lugar en el mundo. ¿Europa o Latinoamérica?
La respuesta es: un poco de cada una. El estilo, la arquitectura y la cultura de sucesivas generaciones de inmigrantes han dado forma a una ciudad que, en ciertos aspectos, se parece más a una ciudad europea que a una latinoamericana. Asimismo, Argentina tiene sin duda el nivel de vida más alto de América Latina, con una economía que tiene un producto bruto interno per capita de alrededor de $8.500, casi el doble que Brasil o Méjico, y siete veces más que Bolivia. En la ciudad de Buenos Aires, dicha cifra aumenta a aproximadamente $21.600 por persona, comparable con Italia, Francia o Gran Bretaña.
Pero trata de decirle esto a cualquiera de sus habitantes, sacudidos por dos recesiones en los últimos cinco años. Más de un cuarto de la población del Gran Buenos Aires vive en la pobreza, sin los medios suficientes para acceder a los bienes y servicios básicos. Y con una tasa de desempleo que no baja del 13% en la ciudad, más y más gente está engrosando sus filas día a día. Los salarios están bajos, los precios de casi todas las cosas han caído en los últimos dos años y hay muchísimas propiedades a la venta por toda la ciudad.
Una investigación realizada al comienzo del 2001 reveló que los argentinos están entre los pueblos más pesimistas del mundo. Esto se debe, en parte, al propio carácter del porteño, famoso por hacer de la melancolía casi un estilo de vida. Pero también tiene que ver con una serie de cambios dramáticos que han arrasado el país en la última década, dejando a su población en un profundo desconcierto respecto de hacia dónde los están dirigiendo.
| | English to Spanish: Disfunción eréctil | Source text - English
Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to maintain an erection sufficient
to allow for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
It may be caused by different psychogenic, organic or mixed disorders and affects millions of men worldwide.
The male genital system is composed of the penis, the testes and the seminal ducts, which include the epididymis, the vas deferens, the ejaculatory duct and part of the urethra. The seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands of Cowper are secretory glands that contribute to formation of semen.
The penile anatomic structures involved in erectile function include the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum, which surrounds the urethra. Each of them is covered by the tunica albuginea; microscopically, a trabecular mass of smooth muscle is observed surrounding a network of lacunar vascular spaces.
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) is an enzyme that lies in the trabecular smooth muscle; it catalyzes degradation of cGMP which results in smooth muscle contraction, reduced blood flow in erectile tissue and the consequent loss of penile erection. PDE-5 inhibitors block this biochemical pathway and promote erection.

La disfunción eréctil se define como la incapacidad para mantener una erección que permita la satisfacción sexual.
Puede originarse como consecuencia de diferentes trastornos psicogénicos, orgánicos o mixtos y afecta a millones de hombres a nivel mundial.
El aparato genital masculino está formado por el pene, los testículos y las vías espermáticas, las que incluyen el epidídimo, los conductos deferentes, el conducto eyaculador y parte de la uretra. Las vesículas seminales, la próstata y las glándulas bulbouretrales de Cowper son glándulas secretoras que contribuyen a la formación de semen.
Las estructuras anatómicas penianas involucradas en la función eréctil incluyen los cuerpos cavernosos, y el cuerpo esponjoso, que rodea la uretra. Cada uno de ellos está cubierto por la túnica albugínea; desde el punto de vista microscópico, se observa una masa trabecular de músculo liso rodeando una red de espacios lacunares vasculares.
La fosfodiesterasa 5 es una enzima localizada en el músculo liso trabecular; cataliza la degradación de GMPc lo que conduce a la contracción del músculo liso, reducción del flujo sanguíneo en el tejido eréctil y la consecuente pérdida de la erección peniana. Los inhibidores de esta enzima bloquean esta cascada bioquímica y promueven la erección.

And, Here's The Problem. Even if you are selling the greatest, most effective, amazing product or service in the history of the world (even free $100 bills), I GUARANTEE you that whatever you are doing to establish your credibility right now isn't enough.
You've got to BEND OVER BACKWARDS to prove that you and your offer are legitimate and believable, and it's likely that you're not doing even half of what you should do to maximize your sales. (Which is good news for you, because after reading this article you should be able to *instantly* increase the profitability of your website or online business. -)
You can blab on for hours about how great your product or service is, but without spending time establishing how trustworthy and legitimate YOU are, you won't make the sale. Let's take our attempt to sell $100 bills as an example. I'm going to dissect our ad and tell you everything that was wrong with it. Are you making any of these mistakes?
| Translation - Spanish
Este es el problema. Aunque usted esté vendiendo el producto o servicio más fantástico, más eficaz y sorprendente de la historia del mundo (por ejemplo, billetes de U$S 100 gratis), LE GARANTIZO que independientemente de lo que haga para establecer su credibilidad, en este momento, no es suficiente.
Tendrá que HACER MALABARES para demostrar que tanto usted como su oferta son legítimas y creíbles, y es probable que no esté haciendo ni siquiera la mitad de lo que debería intentar para maximizar sus ventas. (Lo cual es una buena noticia para usted, porque después de leer este artículo podrá aumentar “instantáneamente” la rentabilidad de su sitio web o de su negocio en línea).
Puede hablar durante horas acerca de las bondades de su producto o servicio, pero si no dedica algún tiempo a demostrar lo confiable y legítimo que es USTED, no concretará la venta. Tomemos como ejemplo nuestro intento de vender billetes de U$S 100. Voy a analizar minuciosamente nuestro aviso publicitario y le diré cuáles son sus errores. ¿Usted está cometiendo alguno de ellos?
