English to Italian: Adrenal suppression due to an interaction between ritonavir and injected triamcinolone: a case report General field: Medical
Source text - English Abstract
Two HIV-1 infected patients developed signs and symptoms consistent with adrenal suppression after being exposed to intra-articular triamcinolone acetate while also receiving ritonavir as part of their highly active antiretroviral therapy. Laboratory evaluation confirmed secondary adrenal suppression in both cases. Both patients recovered without the need for chronic replacement steroids. Adrenal suppression has been described as an adverse outcome in patients treated with fluticasone an concomitant ritonavir. In the reported cases, the adrenal suppression likely developed as a result of increased systemic concentrations of triamcinolone due to an inhibition of cytochrome p450 3A4 metabolism. Practitioners of HIV medicine should be aware of the potential negative interaction of injected triamcinolone and ritonavir.
Translation - Italian Abstract
Due pazienti con infezione da HIV-1 hanno sviluppato segni e sintomi coerenti con un quadro di soppressione surrenalica, in conseguenza di una terapia antiretrovirale altamente attiva, a base di un’associazione di triamcinolone acetato intra-articolare e di ritonavir. Indagini di laboratorio hanno confermato una soppressione surrenalica secondaria in entrambi i casi. I pazienti sono guariti senza bisogno di assumere cronicamente ormoni steroidei sostitutivi. La soppressione surrenalica è stata descritta come esito avverso in pazienti che ricevevano congiuntamente fluticasone e ritonavir. In tali casi documentati è probabile che la soppressione surrenalica sia stata indotta dall’aumento delle concentrazioni plasmatiche di triamcinolone, prodotte dall’inibizione del metabolismo del citocromo p450 3A4. I medici che trattano pazienti con infezione da HIV devono tener presente la potenziale interazione negativa tra triamcinolone iniettato e ritonavir.
English to Italian: Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Health status: meta-analysis General field: Medical
Source text - English METHODS
Data sources
We focused on prospective studies investigating the
association between adherence to a Mediterranean diet
and health outcomes. We searched PubMed, Embase,
Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of
Controlled Trials databases up to 30 June 2008, using a
search strategy that included both truncated free text
and exploded MeSH terms. MeSH headings included
“Mediterranean”, “diet”, “dietary pattern”, “disease”,
“health”, “cardiovascular disease”, “cerebrovascular
disease”, “coronary heart disease”, “degenerative
diseases”, “cancer”, “neoplasm”, “prospective”, “follow-
up”, or “cohort”, and their variants. The search
strategy had no language restrictions. We also consulted
references from the extracted articles and
reviews to complete the data bank. When multiple
articles for a single study were present, we used the
latest publication and supplemented it, if necessary,
with data from the most complete or updated publication.
We assessed the relevance of studies by using a
hierarchical approach based on title, abstract, and the full
manuscript.

Fonti dei dati
L’analisi qui condotta si basa sugli studi prospettici che hanno preso in esame la correlazione tra aderenza alla dieta Mediterranea e esiti sulla salute. La ricerca bibliografica è stata condotta utilizzando le banche dati elettroniche PubMed, Embase, Web of Science e il Registro Centrale Cochrane dei trial controllati ed è aggiornata al 30 giugno 2008. La modalità di ricerca prevedeva l’utilizzo sia di domande a testo libero con risposta troncata, sia termini MeSH esplosi. Le voci MeSH comprendevano “Mediterranea”, “dieta”, “modello alimentare”, “patologia”, “salute”, “patologie cardiovascolari”, “patologie cerebrovascolari”, “patologie coronariche”, “patologie degenerative”, “cancro”, “neoplasia”, “prospettico”, “follow-up”, “coorte”, e le loro varianti. La strategia di ricerca non aveva restrizioni rispetto alla lingua. Sono stati, inoltre, consultati i riferimenti bibliografici degli articoli estratti e le recensioni per completare la banca dati. Quando erano presenti più articoli per uno studio, si è fatto ricorso all’ultima pubblicazione, integrandola, se necessario, con i dati provenienti dalla pubblicazione più esaustiva o aggiornata. La valutazione della rilevanza degli studi è stata effettuata attraverso un approccio gerarchico fondato sul titolo, sull’abstract e sull’intero manoscritto.

I am a dedicated, accurate and responsible linguist who always tackles each translation job as an opportunity to improve her skills and subject matter knowledge. I am computer literate (Word for Windows, Excel, Powerpoint, OmegaT). I have a genuine interest in medicine and pharmacology and enjoy reading medical magazines and books. I am keen on speaking reading, and writing in English.
I graduated in 1998 from the Advanced School of Modern Languages (SSLMIT) in Trieste, Italy then went right into teaching. However, I never stopped translating and furthering my skills.
