Calcification of the Left Ventricle

By: Gabriel Pérez Baztarrica, Fabio Sánchez, Rafael Porcile

The cardiac calcifications usually occur in the valves, sinus and atrioventricular nodes, coronary arteries, and on rare occasions, in the ventricular myocardium as a consequence of a prior heart attack. The latter are associated with complications which include heart failure, systemic embolism, and arrhythmia.

This is an exceptional case of a serious myocardium calcification associated with refractory heart failure to the medical treatment.

It involves a 58 year old patient with a history of past myocardial infarction which has developed into a necrosis dilated cardiomyopathy (a 10% ejection fraction of the left ventricle) with multiple placements due to heart failure. He is admitted to our center for another combination of refractory global heart failure to the medical treatment (inotropic and IABP). The anteroposterior chest radiograph, the tomography of the chest, and the coronary angiography (oblique right view) all show evidence of calcification of the thickness in the ventricle wall at anterior and lateral levels and at the edge of the heart (arrows below).

The patient has been referred to another center for an evaluation for a cardiac transplant.

Comparación de la metodología de traducción de una resolución de la ONU con la metodología de traducción de una campaña de mercadeo Por Rocio Rodriguez

Traducir una campaña de mercadeo y una traduccion de la ONU tiene sus diferencias entre ellas. Cuando queremos traducir una campaña publicitaria nos enfocamos mas en un “target” o en un publico mas especifico, en este caso se aplica la localizacion.  Aqui es cuando cambiamos la letras o frases por otras para que el mensaje llegue a los oyentes.  Para poder llamar la atencion de la audiencia tenemos que llegarle a sus corazones y a sus gustos. Tambien es utilisada para incrememtar la destacacion de un producto u otro interes. Sin embargo, una traduccion de la ONU tiene que ser bien especifica y usar exactamente el contexto previo. La ONU provee su propio estilo y a la vez crees que es otro lenguaje. Tambien requiere estrictamente una forma especifica de como traducir su vocabulario y aveces pueden ser muy directos. Este estilo es mas diplomatico y es basado en leyes.. Esta misma nopuede ser alterada porque no es permitido y solo existe la traduccion que ellos exigen. La localizacion no s epuede usar aqui ya por las razones explicadas. Hemos hablado mucho de como cambiar traducciones y adaptarlas en algunos contextos, mas sin embargo no podemos hacer lo mismo con la ONU.

Calcification of the left Ventricle

Gabriel Perez Baztarrica, Fabio Sanchez, Rafael Porcile

 

The cardiac calcifications usually occur in the values, the sinus node and auriculoventricular, the coronary arteries and even more rarely inn the ventricular myocardium like an aftermath of a previous heart attack. These previous ones are associated with complications, which heart failure is found, the systemic embolism and arrhythmias.

This is an exceptional chronic case of my cardiac calcification associated with heart failure refractory to the medical treatment.

This is a patient of 58 years old with stroke history of myocardial infarction that evolves to a dilated cardiomyopathy necrotic (ejection of 10% of a fraction of the left ventricle) with multiple hospitalizations due to cardiac insufficiency.

Admitted to our clinic for another situation of global cardiac insufficiency to the medical treatment (inotropic and BCIA). As much as radiography of the thorax and the coronary angiography (right oblique sight) calcification is evidence of the heaviness of the ventricular wall at the previous level of the tip of the heart (continuous arrows).

The patient was refereed to another hospital for cardiac transplant evaluation.

“We played well, I’m satisfied with the team’s performance. China wanted to play closed doors, so we tried to simulate why’s going to happen Sunday in the debut with South Africa” the team’s coach Carlos Retegui said, after the match.

Commercials in English and Spanish (Corona) by Jonathan Albujar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If3eEJV8ML4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TEFYtostK8

The commercials I decided to choose are from Corona, a beer company.Corona is very popular in both the United States and other Spanish speaking countries. Both of these advertisements are geared towards audiences from their own countries, although the English speaking one could also be seen as a big hit amongst spanish speaking audiences, more so than the other way around.

In the Spanish speaking ad, linked first, two men appear playing with a soccer ball. This first bit would definitely play well in spanish speaking circles because of the huge popularity of the sport, more so than in our country. It would remind spanish audiences of watching the sport back home or even in our own country. Also, there is a group that sings a spanish song, also reminding spanish audiences of music from their countries and could appeal to them in that way as well.

The english speaking ad is more geared towards both english and spanish speaking audiences. The ad primarily focuses on the theme of relaxation. The basic theme of the commercial is to kick off your shoes and enjoy a beer. This is a concept that any audience can relate to, and is a big selling point for beer in general.
