Spanish to English: Ecografías Abdominales/Abdominal Ultrasounds General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - Spanish Precio Reducido para Ecografía Abdominal con Elastografía Hepática
Uno de cada 10 estadounidenses sufre algún tipo de enfermedad del hígado, según la American LiverFoundation (Fundación Americana del Hígado). Sin embargo, muchas personas no son conscientes de que tienen dicha enfermedad; en parte, porque a menudo presentan muy pocos síntomas.
Durante todo el mes de noviembre, BaptistHealth estará ofreciendo una ecografía abdominal con elastografía hepática opcional por $99. Este tipo de análisis rápido, indoloro y no invasivo puede ser útil en el diagnóstico de algunas enfermedades del hígado, incluyendo hígado graso y fibrosis hepática. Un diagnóstico más temprano y más preciso puede salvar vidas y ayuda a determinar qué medidas son necesarias, tales como una modificación en el estilo de vida ¬–dejar de consumir bebidas alcohólicas o perder peso– o un tratamiento con medicamentos, o cirugía.
Translation - English Reduced Fee for Abdominal Ultrasounds with Liver Elastography
One in 10 Americans suffer from some kind of liver disease, according to the American Liver Foundation. However, many people are not aware of the fact that they're suffering said disease, partly because they usually display scarce symptoms.
Throughout November, Baptist Health will be offering abdominal ultrasounds with an optional liver elastography for $99. This type of quick, painless, and non-invasive analysis can be useful in the diagnosis of some liver diseases, including fatty liver and liver fibrosis. An early and more precise diagnosis can save lives and help determine necessary measures, such as lifestyle changes ¬–quit drinking alcoholic beverages or lose weight–, drug therapies, or surgeries.
English to Spanish: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis / Tiroiditis de Hashimoto General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is attacked by a variety of cell -and antibody-mediated immune processes, causing primary hypothyroidism. It was the first disease to be recognized as an autoimmune disease. It was first described by the Japanese specialist Hakaru Hashimoto in a paper published in Germany in 1912.
There are many symptoms that are attributed to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Hashimoto’s disease. The most common symptoms include the following: fatigue, weight gain, pale or puffy face, feeling cold, joint and muscle pain, constipation, dry and thinning hair, heavy menstrual flow or irregular periods, depression, panic disorder, a slowed heart rate, and problems getting pregnant and maintaining pregnancy.
Hashimoto’s disease is about seven times more common in women than in men. It can occur in teens and young women, but more commonly shows up in middle age, particularly for men. People who develop Hashimoto’s disease often have family members who have thyroid or other autoimmune diseases, and sometimes have other autoimmune diseases themselves.
The thyroid gland may become firm, large, and lobulated in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but changes in the thyroid can also be nonpalpable. Enlargement of the thyroid is due to lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis rather than tissue hypertrophy.
Translation - Spanish La tiroiditis de Hashimoto, o tiroiditis linfocítica crónica, es una enfermedad autoinmune en la cual la glándula tiroides es atacada por una variedad de procesos inmunes intervenidos tanto por células como por anticuerpos, causando el hipotiroidismo primario. Fue la primera enfermedad en ser reconocida como autoinmune. Fue descripta por primera vez por el especialista japonés Hakaru Hashimoto en una publicación en Alemania en 1912.
Muchos síntomas son atribuidos a la enfermedad o tiroiditis de Hashimoto. Los más comunes incluyen: fatiga, ascenso de peso, rostro pálido o hinchado, sensación de frío, dolor muscular y articular, constipación, cabello seco y fino, flujo menstrual espeso o períodos irregulares, depresión, trastorno de pánico, ritmo cardíaco desacelerado y problemas para concebir y mantener embarazos.
La enfermedad de Hashimoto es alrededor de siete veces más común en mujeres que en hombres. Puede surgir en adolescentes o mujeres jóvenes, pero suele aparecer más comúnmente a lo largo de la mediana edad, en particular para los hombres. Quienes desarrollan la enfermedad de Hashimoto suelen contar con miembros de su familia que sufren enfermedades tiroideas o autoinmunes, e incluso a veces ellos mismos padecen otros tipos de enfermedades autoinmunes.
La glándula tiroidea puede volverse firme, grande y lobulada a causa de la tiroiditis de Hashimoto, pero sus alteraciones también pueden no ser palpables. El agrandamiento de la glándula tiroidea se suele deber más a la infiltración linfocítica y a la fibrosis que a la hipertrofia de tejidos.
Spanish to English: La historia de Hollywood / Hollywood's history General field: Other Detailed field: History
Source text - Spanish Hollywood es un distrito de Los Ángeles, asociado a la industria del cine estadounidense. No fue hasta 1903 cuando se convirtió en municipio y hasta 1910 cuando sus concejales votaron a favor de la integración de Los Ángeles, principalmente para disponer de agua suficiente a través de la red de suministro de la ciudad.
En 1857 se fundó el poblado. Aunque está formado por las palabras holly -acebo- y wood -bosque-, su nombre proviene de un rancho homónimo en el que vivía la familia de un promotor inmobiliario. A su vez, el rancho se llamaba Hollywood porque la esposa del promotor conocía a un matrimonio cuya casa se llamaba así.
A finales del siglo XIX, Thomas Alva Edison prácticamente monopolizaba la industria del cine. Por ello, como consecuencia de la guerra de las patentes (1897), productoras de cine hasta entonces afincadas entre Nueva York y Nueva Jersey decidieron trasladarse a California para continuar allí los rodajes y dejar de pagar una tasa que consideraban abusiva. Además, allí los días eran más soleados y más largos, cosa que les beneficiaba (a pesar de que ya existía la luz eléctrica, los estudios de cine dependían de la iluminación natural a la hora de rodar).
Además de ser un barrio de Los Ángeles, el término Hollywood define, genéricamente, también a la industria del cine y de la televisión arraigada en el sur de California.
El primer estudio en la zona de Hollywood se fundó en 1911 y durante ese mismo año otros quince estudios se establecieron allí. Desde entonces, el distrito de Hollywood fue evolucionando hasta convertirse en la meca del cine mundial.
Translation - English Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, associated with the American movie industry. It wasn’t until 1903 that it became a municipality, and until 1910 that its councilors voted in favor of the integration of Los Angeles, mainly to dispose of enough water through the city’s supply network.
The settlement was founded in 1857. Though it’s formed by the words holly and wood, its name stems from a homonymous ranch inhabited by the family of a property developer. Moreover, the ranch was called Hollywood because the developer’s wife knew a married couple whose home was named that way.
By the end of the XIX century, Thomas Alva Edison practically monopolized the movie industry. Therefore, as a consequence of the patents war (1897), movie producers, that until then were settled between New York and New Jersey, decided to move to California to continue their recordings there and avoid paying rates that they considered abusive. Besides, the days there were sunnier and longer, something they found beneficial (despite the fact that electricity already existed, the movie studios depended on natural lighting at the moment of recording).
Besides being a neighborhood of Los Angeles, the term Hollywood also defines, generically, the movie and TV industry rooted in Southern California.
The first studio in the Hollywood area was founded in 1911 and, during the same year, other fifteen other studios were established there. Since then, the Hollywood district evolved to the point of turning into a Mecca for the world cinema.
