Source text - English “The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable.”
“It is now possible to reverse the effects of aging 10-20 years. And whereas aging used to be considered a fact of life, the medical community now considers it a degenerative disease that can be treated.”
As incredible as it may sound, the following statement was recently published by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (13,500 members; one of the largest medical associations in the U.S.):
“By the close of 2001, humankind will realize numerous scientific and medical phenomena that will revolutionize the delivery of health care in the next five years. Indeed, practical immortality — lifespans of 200 years and beyond — is within our grasp. As a result, the quantity, as well as quality, of the human lifespan will forever be changed for the better.”
Translation - Portuguese “A deterioração generalizada do corpo que ocorre com o envelhecimento não é inevitável.”
“Hoje é possível inverter os efeitos da idade de 10-20 anos. Já lá vai o tempo em que a velhice era encarada como um aspecto factual da vida, mas actualmente, a comunidade médica vê-a como sendo uma doença degenerativa tratável.”
Por muito incrível que pareça, a seguinte declaração foi recentemente publicada pela American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (13,500 membros; uma das maiores associações médicas nos Estados Unidos):
“Lá para o final de 2001, o homem alcançará inúmeros fenómenos científicos e clínicos que revolucionarão a prestação dos cuidados de saúde nos próximos cinco anos. De facto, praticamente a imortalidade — a longevidade de 200 anos e mais — está ao nosso alcance. Como resultado, tanto a quantidade, como a qualidade da longevidade humana melhorarão para sempre.”

Source text - English When she moved into his tiny house in Stroud, and took charge of his four small children, Mother was thirty and still quite handsome. She had not, I suppose, met anyone like him before. This rather priggish young man, with his devout gentility, his airs and manners, his music and ambitions, his charm, bright talk, and undeniable good looks, overwhelmed her as soon as she saw him. So she fell in love with him immediately, and remained in love for ever. And herself being comely, sensitive, and adoring, she attracted my father also. And so he married her. And so later he left her - with his children and some more of her own.
When he'd gone, she brought us to the village and waited. She waited for thirty years. I don't think she ever knew what had made him desert her, though the reasons seemed clear enough. She was too honest, too natural for this frightened man; too remote from his tidy laws. She was, after all, a country girl; lawless, hysterical, loving. She was muddled and mischievous as a chimney-jackdaw, she made her nest of rags and jewels, was happy in the sunlight, squawk loudly at danger, pried and was insatiably curious, forgot when to eat or ate all day, and sang when sunsets were red. She lived by the easy laws of the hedgerow, loved the world, and made no plans, had a quick holy eye for natural wonders and couldn't have kept a neat house for her life. What my father wished for was something quite different, something she could never give him - the protective order of an unimpeachable suburbia, which was what he got in the end.
The three or four years Mother spent with my father she fed on for the rest of her life. Her happiness at that time was something she guarded as though it must ensure his eventual return. She would talk about it almost in awe, not that it had ceased but that it had happened at all.
Translation - Portuguese A Mãe tinha trinta anos e era ainda bastante atraente quando foi viver para a minúscula casa dele em Stroud, e começou a cuidar dos seus quatro filhinhos. Suponho que ela nunca tivesse conhecido alguém como ele. Este jovem presunçoso, com a sua cortesia devota, os seus ares e modos, a sua música e as suas ambições, o seu encanto, conversa inteligente, e apresentação indiscutivelmente sedutora, avassalou-a à primeira vista. Apaixonou-se logo por ele, e ficou eternamente encantada. E ela própria, sendo graciosa, sensível e amorosa, também atraiu o meu pai. E então casou com ela. E mais tarde deixou-a – com os filhos dele e alguns dela.
Quando ele partira, ela levou-nos para a aldeia e esperou. Ela esperou durante trinta anos. Creio que ela nunca soube o que o levou a abandoná-la – apesar das razões serem bem claras. Ela era demasiado honesta, natural demais para este homem amedrontado; deveras distante das suas regras impecáveis. Ela era uma mera camponesa; desgovernada, alegre, amorosa. Ela era descuidada e divertida como uma gralha das chaminés! Tendo feito o seu ninho de farrapos e jóias, sentia-se feliz ao sol, contrariava o perigo, espreitava e era insaciavelmente curiosa, esquecia-se de comer ou passava o dia todo a fazê-lo, e cantava quando o por do sol era afogueado. Ela vivia pela lei dócil da simplicidade, amava o mundo, vivia o dia a dia, tinha olho vivo para as maravilhas naturais, e nunca iria conseguir manter a casa limpa, nem pela sua vida. O que o meu pai desejava era algo de muito diferente, algo que ela nunca conseguiria dar-lhe – a ordem protectora do requinte subúrbio, o que obteve no fim.
Os três ou quatro anos que a Mãe passou com o meu pai sustentaram-na para o resto da sua vida. A sua felicidade nessa época foi algo que ela guardou como se assegurasse o eventual regresso do meu pai. Ela falava disso quase espantosamente, não por ter terminado, mas sim pelo simples facto de ter acontecido.

l’incontinence urinaire masculine
UN PRODUIT CONÇU, FABRIQUÉ ET COMMERCIALISÉ PAR
Etude prospective multicentrique sur le traitement de l’incontinence urinaire masculine
Sur la base des excellents résultats obtenus dans le traitement de l'incontinence urinaire chez la femme avec I-STOP, CL Médical a décidé de lancer les travaux sur l'utilisation de I-STOP dans le traitement de l'incontinence urinaire chez l'homme après prostatectomie
Plusieurs études anatomiques(1,2) ont démontré l'innocuité du passage transobturateur de dehors en dedans.
Les qualités mécaniques reconnues(3,4)de la bandelette I-STOP ont permis d'envisager le passage à une étude chez l'homme.
Une étude prospective est mise en place avec 22 urologues français et a fait l'objet d'un avis favorable par un CCPPRB.
Les résultats préliminaires seront présentés lors du 100ème congrès de l'AFU, le jeudi 30 novembre 2006, à 13h00.

A PRODUCT CONCEIVED, MADE AND COMMERCIALISED BY
A Multicentric prospective study on the treatment of male urinary incontinence
Based on the excellent results obtained with I-STOP in the treatment of female urinary incontinence, CL Médical decided to start working on the application of I-STOP in the treatment of post prostectomy male urinary incontinence
Several anatomical (1,2) studies have shown the innocuity of the outer to the inner transobturator passage.
The recognized mechanical benefits (3,4) of the I-STOP sling gave way to the deliberation of a study on males.
A prospective study was set up with 22 French urologists and received a favourable opinion from a CCPPRB.
The preliminary results will be presented during the 100th AFU congress, on Thursday November 30th, 2006, at 13h00.

Translation is not the mere conversion of words from one language to another! The linguist must be able to grasp the entire sense of the text and pass on all of its meaning, conveying a comprehensive idea of the communication being transmitted to the reader.
