English to Thai: Radio Waves Can Lower Blood Pressure General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Radio Waves Can Lower Blood Pressure
Some 50 percent of all patients with elevated blood pressure do not respond satisfactorily to existing drugs;
As radio waves selectively destroy nerves close to the kidneys, elevated blood pressure seems to fall, according to experiments that Murray Esler from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia, conducted on more than 100 patients in 24 centers across the globe. Some 50 percent of all patients with elevated blood pressure do not respond satisfactorily to existing drugs; these were chosen to test the new treatment. Six months later, their blood pressure had fallen an average of 32/12 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), from the starting point of 178/96 mmHg. In 84 percent of the patients, blood pressure fell by at least 10 mmHg, while the blood pressure of a control group on normal medication remained unchanged.
The kidneys play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure by eliminating salts and other substances in the blood. This process is partly controlled by the brain via the sympathetic nervous system, and experiments have demonstrated that patients with elevated blood pressure often have increased activity in these nerves. The scientists conducting the blood pressure experiments thus tried to paralyze some of the kidneys’ sympathetic nerves with radio waves. The nerves are especially sensitive to the treatment, but the blood vessels are not hurt.

Source text - English Sacrificial Bacteria
The Sacrificial Acts Of A Few Bacteria
The sacrificial acts of a few bacteria save entire populations of them from succumbing to antibiotics, say biological engineers from Harvard and Boston universities. A group’s few highly resistant bacteria produce a molecule called an indole that helps strengthen weaker members against attack. Producing the indole, however, reduces the resistant bacteria’s growth and fitness.

Donald A. Barr, MD, PhD
When teaching my students about what goes into a good doctor-patient interaction, I tell them about the studies that show how quickly doctors interrupt their patients. Male physicians especially, I tell them, are notorious for stopping the patient mid-sentence to redirect the discussion. In one study that I came across, female primary care physicians waited an average of 3 minutes before interrupting the patient to redirect the discussion toward issues more relevant to diagnosis. Male physicians waited an average of 47 seconds.
How long do I wait, I wondered? I decided to try an experiment. I would let my next patient talk as long as he or she needed to explain his or her reason for seeing me. I would watch the clock and see how long a patient might naturally take to explain the presenting complaint. I would hold my tongue.
The patient was in her 70s and greeted me with a smile when I stepped behind the curtain to be with her. "Hello, I'm Dr. Barr. What's the problem that brings you in today?"
She began to describe the past several weeks of her life. As I recall, it had to do with a coworker noticing something, talking with her sister on the phone, and her reluctance to see doctors. The word "cough" surfaced for a second, then quickly became submerged again. Looking at the medicines on the shelf at the drug store and not knowing which to choose. ... Needing to dress warmly ... (Wasn't this weather we'd been having nasty?) ... Sometimes she had trouble sleeping ...
The nurse poked her head through the curtain and silently tapped her watch. The waiting room of our urgent care center was full, and things were starting to back up. I wouldn't budge, though - I turned back to the patient and nodded. However long it took, I would wait for the patient to stop of her own accord. I wouldn't butt in.
Translation - English Living with a spoiled child makes you emotionally exhausted. However, this exhaustion is less than that of having a spoiled princess under the same roof.
The princess has two houses. (Well, ... in this case, we call the princess’s palace a house.) One house is situated on the east bank of the river; while the other is on the west bank. There is a king in the first house; whereas there is a queen in the other.
In previous fairy tales, there does not appear to be any king and any queen who separate or divorce. This is possibly due to the golden rule of fairy tales: divorce is prohibited.
Or it is because fairy tales view parental separation as a painful story, inappropriate for a child to hear about it.
Or the reason is that fairy tales want to honor a king.
Or ..... maybe fairy tales don’t think about it at all. The fairy tales just end before anything gets started. They end as soon as the princess kisses the frog prince, releasing the prince from the curse. They end as soon as the prince kisses the princess, waking her up from the curse. They end as soon as the witch is killed (For some reasons, the witch’s death is not too cruel for children to hear.) …. “Then, the prince and the princess get married and live happily ever after.” This is the beautiful ending. It is the ending, even though the first chapter of life has not started yet.
English to Thai: The Body Language of Politicians General field: Other Detailed field: Media / Multimedia
Source text - English It has long been recognized that only a tiny proportion of a speech's impact depends on its content: approximately 7% according to the work of Professor A. Mehrabian and other experts, who conducted studies on this subject since the 1960's.
On the other hand, non-verbal communication accounts for more than 93% of the effectiveness of a speech: 55% for facial expressions and 38% for paralinguistic elements (voice, intonation, gestures, posture, etc…).
This film will enable us to investigate the importance of non-verbal communication among politicians, and the different elements that determine their charisma. This analysis will take place in an international historical, cultural, sociological and ethnological context.
A great deal of archival footage, clips and excerpts will be used to illustrate the theories developed by these specialists.
