French to English: Le C4d : un marqueur de rejet en transplantation hépatique
Source text - French Background. Le rejet aigu reste une complication fréquente en transplantation hépatique. Le diagnostic, basé sur l’étude histologique du greffon, peut être difficile à affirmer en cas d’infection virale C associée. La présence de C4d dans les capillaires portes pourrait faciliter la différenciation entre rejet aigu et récidive d’hépatite C. Le dépôt de C4d témoigne en effet d’une activation de l’immunité humorale. Pour tenter de confirmer cette hypothèse, nous avons recherché la présence de C4d dans les biopsies hépatiques post-transplantation.
Methods. 36 biopsies de 34 patients ont été analysées rétrospectivement. Les prélèvements avaient été demandés pour suspicion de rejet, récidive virale C ou bilan systématique un an après la greffe.
Results. L’expression de C4d était fréquente dans les biopsies classées « rejet aigu » (33 %) et « rejet chronique » (100 %). Le C4d n’a jamais été détecté en cas de récidive d’hépatite C sans rejet.
Translation - English Background. Acute rejection is still a common complication of hepatic transplantation. The diagnosis, based on the histological examination of the graft, may be difficult to confirm in the event of combined hepatitis C virus infection. The presence of C4d in the portal capillaries could facilitate differentiation between acute rejection and relapsed hepatitis C. The deposit of C4d provides evidence of activation of humoral immunity. To attempt to confirm this hypothesis, we searched for the presence of C4d in post-transplant hepatic biopsies.
Methods. 36 biopsies from 34 patients were analyzed retrospectively. The samples had been requested for one of the following reasons: suspected rejection, relapsed C-viral infection, or systematic check-up one year after the transplant.
Results. C4d expression was common in biopsies classified as "acute rejection" (33%) and "chronic rejection" (100%). C4d was never detected in the event of recurrent hepatitis C infection without rejection.
French to English: obesity in dogs
Source text - French L’obésité n’est pas qu’une surcharge pondérale : c’est une maladie grave, par le cortège d’affections qu’elle est susceptible d’induire. Elles sont liées à la gravitation (poids), à l’excès de masse - celle des organes ne suit pas celle de l’ensemble - et à l’excès de tissu adipeux, véritable tissu endocrine responsable de la production de dérivés protéiques. Ces adipocytokines, génératrices d’un état inflammatoire latent, interviennent tant dans la régulation de l’appétit que dans la perméabilité de l’épithélium vasculaire ou le taux de filtration glomérulaire.
La plupart des propriétaires d’animaux obèses ne consultent pas spontanément pour résoudre un problème de surpoids. Ils n’évaluent en général pas correctement l’état d’embonpoint de leur animal. C’est donc le praticien qui doit poser le diagnostic et convaincre les propriétaires de la gravité du cas et les motiver à entreprendre un régime.
Translation - English Obesity is not just an excess of body weight, it is a serious disease due to the many accompanying disorders that it may induce. These are linked to gravitation (weight), to the excess mass – that of the organs does not follow that of the ensemble, and to the excess fatty tissue, a true endocrine tissue that is responsible for the production of protein derivatives. These adipocytokines, generators of a latent inflammatory state, play a role in both appetite regulation and in the permeability of the vascular epithelium or glomerular filtration rate.
The majority of owners of obese animals do not spontaneously seek veterinary advice to resolve the problem of excess weight. As a rule, they are not fully aware of the condition of their animal. It is therefore up to the practitioner to make the diagnosis, and convince the owners of the seriousness of the condition and motivate them to undertake a diet.
I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the University of Bristol Veterinary School, UK in 1999. I then spent 2 years working full time as a vet in "mixed" practice (i.e. all species) in the UK before moving to France where I worked for 2 years as a locum veterinary surgeon before starting to translate on a freelance basis. I specialize in medical texts of all types and particularly in veterinary texts with a particular interest in the world of equitation.
I also run a 14 Ha equine recovery centre specialising in mental and physical rehabilitation for horses with behavioural problems and chronic injuries / diseases, using natural horsemanship, natural trimming, and natural boarding techniques.
To date I have translated over 5 million words, principally human medical journal articles in subjects as diverse as AIDS, drug addiction, infectious and parasitic diseases, cardiology, surgical implants, oncology and chemotherapy, analgesia and anesthesia, dentistry, hip, knee and elbow replacements, veterinary articles. I also have extensive experience with cosmetic texts.
I charge on average 0.10€ per source word and average 3,000 words per day.
