, y sin que hayan tenido aún tiempo.. without there having been enough time to Explanation: Hi David! Sounds a bit wordy to me, but this is the sense. Could we have a look at the full sentence to find a way to blend it in more neatly? Good luck!

The idea would be that owing to this facttheir further potential benefits have not yet been described. As I said, perhaps it would be easier if we knew what went before. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2005-06-25 09:39:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the input.

Añade tambien estudios que comparan otros farmacos para resultados secundarios. These papers state that the new medications are yet to improve the results of xxxx and have not (been able to) prove(d)... I think the \"are yet to\" can apply to both and convey the idea. I also considered \"nor have they\" instead of \"and have not\", but I wasn\'t sure whether it\'s an adequate construction coming after \"are yet to\". Is it? Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2005-06-25 09:40:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"have not had the time to\", another possible construction, but I really don\'t think it\'s necessary. |
