English to Spanish: Monthly Economic Outlook General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Source text - English Global Economic Growth Steady
With the global economy moving slowly along, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its global forecast. The IMF lowered the growth rate for the United States economy, perhaps catching up with the rest of analysts as the IMF’s economic forecast is produced every quarter compared to many other forecasts that are made on a monthly basis.
Meanwhile, energy and metal prices have moved higher or are
off their recent low readings, which could help some emerging
economies hurt by the collapse in these prices and export
growth since the start of the tapering process in the United
States back in 2013.
Furthermore, although we see some stabilization in economic
activity across the world, we also see some more moderation in
Chinese economic growth, which could help keep pressure on
export growth as well as on commodity prices going forward.
The good news is that the Brazilian economy, while still in
recession, is starting to show some improvement, which will
help global economic growth.
Translation - Spanish El crecimiento económico se mantiene estable
Con la economía global moviéndose lentamente, el Fondo
Monetario Internacional (FMI) publicó su pronóstico global.
El FMI bajó la tasa de crecimiento para la economía de los
Estados Unidos, quizás poniéndose en la misma línea que el
resto de los analistas, ya que el pronóstico económico del FMI se
genera trimestralmente, en comparación con muchos otros
pronósticos que se publican todos los meses.
Mientras tanto, los precios de la energía y los metales han
aumentado o se alejan de sus recientes lecturas bajas, lo que
podría ayudar a algunas economías emergentes perjudicadas por
la caída de estos precios y el crecimiento de las exportaciones
desde el comienzo del proceso de reducción en las compras de
activos en los Estados Unidos allá por el año 2013.
Asimismo, a pesar de que observamos cierto nivel de
estabilización en la actividad económica en todo el mundo,
también vemos un poco más de moderación en el crecimiento
económico de China, lo cual podría contribuir a mantener la
presión sobre el crecimiento de las exportaciones, así como
sobre el precio de las materias primas, de aquí en adelante. La
buena noticia es que la economía brasileña, aunque todavía se
encuentra en recesión, está comenzando a mostrar cierta
mejora, lo cual ayudará al crecimiento económico global.

Source text - English PREFACE
After having presented our company’s history, our services and the evolution of our shop concept in the previous newsletters, we wish to conclude this third and last newsletter dedicated to XXX 50th anniversary, by tackling the theme of communication, which should remain one of our main concerns.
Internal as well as external communication are presented here, as both of them are indispensable in order to evolve and thus, develop ourselves.
Within the XXX Group, the company values are at the centre of our communication and materialise themselves, since our creation, through corporate charters which have evolved over the years.
Presenting our 50 year’s history without devoting an important part to the company values and culture, would have been unthinkable as it lies at the origin and has been the basis for our success.
Translation - Spanish PREFACIO
Después de haber presentado la historia de nuestra empresa, nuestros servicios y la evolución de nuestro concepto de tienda en los boletines anteriores, queremos terminar este tercer y último boletín dedicado al 50º aniversario de XXX abordando el tema de la comunicación, que debería seguir siendo una de nuestras preocupaciones principales. Presentamos aquí tanto la comunicación interna como la comunicación externa, ya que ambas son indispensables para evolucionar y, así, desarrollarnos.
En el Grupo XXX, los valores de la compañía constituyen el centro de nuestra comunicación, y dichos valores se materializan, desde nuestra creación, mediante carteles corporativos, que han evolucionado a lo largo de los años.
Sería inconcebible presentar nuestros 50 años de historia sin dedicar una parte importante a los valores y cultura de la compañía, ya que han estado ahí desde el principio y han sido la base de nuestro éxito.

English to Spanish: Patient Information and Informed Consent Form General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Purpose and background information
You are being asked by your physician to participate in a clinical study, which aims to compare medical devices in the treatment of the symptoms you are experiencing. The symptoms you are suffering from are due to a narrowing of your coronary artery, which produces poor blood flow to your heart. A technique has been developed, which involves placing a small metal ‘cage’ inside the coronary artery to act as a scaffold to keep the artery open, thereby providing adequate blood flow to your heart. This ‘cage’ is called a stent. The stent is placed over a balloon catheter that is brought to the narrowed site in the coronary vessel. Upon balloon inflation, the stent is expanded and pressed against the wall of the vessel to provide a wider opening for better blood flow. Over a period of several weeks, the inner lining of the vessel will grow over the stent surface and the stent will become a permanent part of the vessel. You have been identified by your physician as having the appropriate condition for this treatment.
Translation - Spanish Objetivos e información general
Su médico le pide que participe en un estudio clínico que tiene como objetivo comparar el funcionamiento de dos productos sanitarios para el tratamiento de los síntomas que usted está experimentando. Los síntomas que padece están causados por la estenosis (es decir, el estrechamiento) de su arteria coronaria, lo que produce que el flujo sanguíneo a su corazón sea escaso. Se ha desarrollado una técnica que consiste en colocar una pequeña «jaula» de metal dentro de la arteria coronaria para que esta «jaula» haga la función de «andamio» y mantenga la arteria abierta, de modo que llegue flujo sanguíneo suficiente a su corazón. Esta «jaula» se denomina endoprótesis vascular (stent). La endoprótesis vascular se coloca sobre un catéter con globo que se introduce en la parte más estrecha del vaso coronario. Hinchando el globo, la endoprótesis se expande y ejerce presión sobre la pared del vaso, para aumentar la abertura del vaso y que así el flujo sanguíneo sea mejor. Durante varias semanas, el revestimiento interno del vaso crece sobre la superficie de la endoprótesis y la endoprótesis se convierte en una parte permanente del vaso. Su médico le ha identificado como una persona con el estado apropiado para recibir este tratamiento.
English to Spanish: Medical paper General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English A wide variety of potential risk factors were studied - socioeconomic variables, intra-uterine and perinatal factors, family characteristics, infant feeding and childhood lifestyle (including sleep duration). Using the definition of obesity as a body mass index (BMI) ≥95th percentile of a UK reference population, it was found that short sleepers (xx h/night) at age 30 months were more likely to be obese at age 7 years than those who slept longer (xx h/night). The estimated risk was 45% greater. The association remained independent of all other factors.
Translation - Spanish Se estudiaron una gran variedad de factores de riesgo potenciales: variables socieconómicas, factores intrauterinos y perinatales, características familiares, alimentación durante la lactancia y estilo de vida durante la infancia (en lo que se incluyó las horas de sueño). Se utilizó como definición de obesidad un índice de masa corporal (IMC) ≥ percentil 95 de una población de referencia del Reino Unido, y se observó que los niños que dormían menos (xx horas/noche) a la edad de 30 meses tenían más probabilidades de ser obesos a la edad de 7 años que los niños que dormían más horas (xx h/noche). El riesgo estimado fue un 45% mayor. La asociación se mantuvo independiente de todos los demás factores.
English to Spanish: Textbook (Diagnostic imaging) General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Radionuclide imaging
The radioactive isotopes used in diagnostic imaging emit gamma rays as they decay. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, similar to x-rays, produced by radioactive decay of the nucleus. Many naturally ocurring radioactive isotopes, e.g. potassium-40, uranium-235, have half lives of hundreds of years and are, therefore, unsuitable for diagnostic imaging. (...) Radionuclide imaging depends on the fact that certain substances concentrate selectively in different parts of the body. Radionuclides can be chemically tagged to these substances. Occasionally, the radionuclide in its ionic form will selectively concentrate in an organ, so there is no need to attach it to another compound.
Translation - Spanish Gammagrafía
Los radionúclidos que se utilizan en el diagnóstico por imágenes emiten rayos gamma al desintegrarse. Los rayos gamma son radiación electromagnética, similar a los rayos X, producida por la desintegración radiactiva del núcleo. El período de semidesintegración de muchos radionúclidos naturales (como el potasio 40 o el uranio 235) dura cientos de años; por tanto, estos radioisótopos no son adecuados para el diagnóstico por imágenes. (...) La gammagrafía se basa en el hecho de que ciertas sustancias se concentran de forma selectiva en determinadas partes del organismo. Es posible marcar químicamente esas sustancias con radionúclidos. En ocasiones, el radionúclido en su forma iónica ya se concentra de forma selectiva en un órgano y, por lo tanto, no hace falta ligarlo a otro componente.
