La présente invention a pour objet des améliorations dans la prévention et le traitement de maladies associées à Helicobacter pylori, en particulier les ulcères gastro-intestinaux.
Il est bien connu que Helicobacter pylori est une bactérie associée à certaines maladies gastro-intestinales, en particulier les gastrites et les ulcères digestifs, notamment les ulcères gastriques et les ulcères duédénaux, et qu’il représente un facteur de risque dans le cancer de l’estomac.
La demande internationale WO 96/ 24341 a proposé d’éradiquer Helicobacter pylori de la plaque dentaire en vue d’améliorer le traitement de l’ulcère digestif et de prévenir sa récidive, au moyen de formulations d’applications buccales comprenant des dérivés de bismuth. Cependant, ces dérivés ont pour inconvénient d’être toxiques et ne peuvent être administrés sur une longue période de temps sans inconvénient pour les patients. | Translation - English
The object of the present invention is improvements in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori, in particular peptic ulcers.
It is well known that Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria associated with certain gastro-intestinal diseases, specifically gastritis and peptic ulcers, especially gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, and that it is a risk factor for stomach cancer.
International application WO 96/ 24341 proposed eradication of Helicobacter pylori from dental plaque with a view to improving treatment of peptic ulcers and preventing their recurrence, by means of orally-applied formulations comprising bismuth derivatives. However, these derivatives have a drawback, toxicity, and cannot be administered over a long period of time without drawbacks for patients. | | French to English: Cosmetics | Source text - French
En ce qui concerne l’application topique, le degré d’hydrosolubilité, l’absence de lipophilie marquée ainsi que la taille moyenne des peptides, couplés à la présence plus ou moins importante de charges électriques sur les molécules, sont responsables du fait que les peptides, même de petite taille, ne pénètrent que difficilement â travers les couches superficielles de la peau. | Translation - English
Concerning topical application, the degree of water solubility and the absence of marked lipophilicity, as well as the average size of the peptides, coupled with the varying levels of electric charges present on the molecules, are responsible for the fact that peptides, even small ones, only penetrate though the outer layers of the skin with difficulty. | | French to English: Chemistry patent (partial) | Source text - French

Patent translation in these fields
I have an organic chemistry background with French training at university level, and experience in the chemical industry in France, Ireland, UK and USA. That spans research, development, manufacture and quality assurance in the pharmaceutical, medical device and cosmetic chemistry industries, to varying degrees. French/English bilingual home. Brief period of residence in Spain.
I work for direct clients, in translation teams and for high-quality agencies. Typical projects include chemistry patents and discovery documents; patent litigation- and opposition-related texts; technical files for active ingredients or drug products; technical articles; laboratory or manufacturing procedures, internal reports, memos and experimental results; batch records; certificates of compliance; cosmetic testing/clinical trial reports/results; press releases from chemical companies; articles on these industries.
Background:
Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and Diploma in French both from the University of Cambridge, UK (1998).
Master of Chemistry with French from the University of Manchester, UK (1994)
Certificate of Achievement from ISO9000: International Standardized Testing Organization's Examination.
SDL Trados Studio certified
ATA certified French to English
English Localization:
I have dual UK and US citizenship. I also do US>UK localization of technical texts at an hourly rate, but this is not the focus of my practice.
