Italian to English: il trauma sportivo, trattamento e prevenzione / SPORT INJURIES, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION Detailed field: Medical: Dentistry
Source text - Italian Scopo: Approccio urgente per trauma diretto su elemento dentale 21, lussato in direzione antero-palatina. Lo scopo della visita in urgenza è il recupero della normale posizione in arcata dell’elemento dentale. Lo scopo secondario inoltre e di fornire all’atleta tramite un presidio che procuri una adeguata protezione delle arcate dentarie, la possibilità di tornare a competere nel più breve tempo possibile.
Esame obbiettivo: la paziente, femmina di anni 15, in ottima salute generale, non presenta alcun segno né storia clinica di Para funzione, si presenta entro le due ore successive all’evento traumatico verificatosi durante lo svolgimento di una partita di basket. La paziente riferisce algia alla compressione, ipotesi di probabile frattura al legno verde a carico della corticale palatina, nessun sanguinamento né trauma. Si esegue test di vitalità all’elemento 21 tramite crio spray, che risulta positivo allo stimolo termico freddo. Si rileva ferita lacerocontusa ai tessuti molli.
Metodi: Previa anestesia, l’elemento viene ridotto manualmente nella posizione originaria. Quindi bloccato con splintaggio elastico utilizzando filo ortodontico e composito. La paziente viene sottoposta a valutazione elettromiografica che evidenzia assenza di sovraccarichi anteriori e in generale una occlusione bilanciata. Nessun segno evidente può far sospettare Bruxismo notturno.
Dopo aver protetto con cera ortodontica lo splintaggio, si procede a rilevare le impronte delle arcate in alginato. Importante inoltre il rilievo del rapporto intermascellare utilizzando il dispositivo Easy Bite, Si rileva inoltre arco facciale e si invia il tutto al laboratorio che ci confezionerà un di paradenti individualizzato dopo aver montato i modelli su articolatore individuale.
Materiali usati: Il materiale utilizzato per confezionare il paradenti personalizzato è un disco termoplastico con durezza di 80 Shore.
Translation - English PURPOSE: urgent intervention on a direct trauma on tooth number 21, dislocated in an antero-palatal position. The main purpose of the emergency visit is to put back the tooth in its normal position within the dental arch. Another secondary purpose is allowing the athlete to go back to competitions as soon as possible, thanks to an adequate protection of the dental arches.
objective examination: the patient, a 15-year-old female in good health, show no signs of parafunctions in her the medical history. She arrives two hours after the traumatic event, which occurred during a basketball game. The patient feels pain at compression, there could be a greenstick fracture of the palatal cortical, but there are neither bleeding nor injuries. We take a pulp vitality test on tooth number 21 with crio spray, and there is a positive response to the cold thermal stimulus. We find a lacerated and contused wound in soft tissues.
methods: under anaesthesia, the tooth is manually put in its initial position. Then, we block it with elastic splinting, using orthodontic and composite thread. The patient undergoes an electromyographic evaluation which assesses the absence of anterior overloads and a general balanced occlusion. No manifest signs lead to suspect episodes of nocturnal bruxism.
After covering the splinting with orthodontic wax, we take the arches’ alginate imprints. It is also important to record the facial arch and the inter-maxillary connections with Easy Bite. Everything is then sent to the laboratory, which will create a customised mouthguard after assembling the models on an individual articulator.
Materials: the material used for the customised mouthguard is a thermoplastic disc with hardness over 80 Shore.
Before receiving the mouthguard, the patient undergoes a careful evaluation of the mucous compressions, which is necessary to thin the material wherever it causes ischemia. The mouthguard is also accurately balanced thanks to red and blue 200µm articulating paper, used to develop an occlusal pattern, resembling the Michigan plaque, with back punctiform contacts and canine guides.
Then, we test the balancing with Teethan, documenting the absence of interferences on the functional parameters recorded by the instrument. Eventually, together with the mouthguard the athlete receives instructions about hygiene maintenance protocols and mucous protection through the application of hyaluronic acid.
conclusions: the recovery of the tooth and the following high-level protection carried out according to the SIOS standards not only promote the optimisation of the athlete’s health, but they also allow an immediate return to sporting activities without fear of further traumas that could damage the newly-healed tooth.
English to Italian: BEING RACHEL ZOE / NELLA VITA DI RACHEL ZOE General field: Other Detailed field: Media / Multimedia
Source text - English It was pouring rain in Paris in early July, and Rachel Zoe was late for the 11:30 a.m. Chanel haute couture presentation. “Oh, I shouldn’t say who my favorite is,” Zoe told me the day before the show. “So many of the designers are my friends. They all want to get their clothes on my clients.” Still, for Zoe, a Hollywood stylist who has dressed stars like Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz and Keira Knightley, Chanel’s red-carpet ball gowns would have been a top priority of the couture calendar. And yet there she was, stuck in traffic in her chauffeured Mercedes sedan, an hour away from the Chanel show, which was to be held at a former palace in St.-Cloud, a suburb of Paris.
As always, Zoe (pronounced ZOH) was dressed for the designer she was viewing. She was wearing a bright pink nubby wool Chanel jacket, black pants and her usual five-inch platform open-toed shoes. All the Zoe trademarks were in place: she was very tan; her long blond hair was carefully styled to look carefree; there were ropes of gold chains around her neck and stacks of diamond bangles on her wrists; and enormous (Chanel) sunglasses nearly obscured her face. Even wearing high heels, she is short and stick-thin, but Zoe, who is 36, does not seem fragile. The masses of jewelry, the outsize sunglasses, the whole noisy, ’70s-inspired look add up to a hectic, ostentatious, theatrical sort of glamour.
Translation - Italian Parigi. Primi di Luglio. Pioveva a dirotto e Rachel Zoe era in ritardo per la sfilata Haute Couture di Chanel delle 11.30. “Beh, non dovrei dire chi è il mio stilista preferito”, mi ha confessato Zoe il giorno prima della sfilata. “Moltissimi sono anche miei amici, e tutti vogliono vedere i loro abiti/le loro collezioni sui miei clienti”. Tuttavia per Zoe, stylist di Hollywood che ha vestito star del calibro di Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz e Keira Knightley, gli eleganti abiti da sera da red carpet di Chanel sarebbero stati una priorità nel calendario dell’alta moda. Eppure eccola li, bloccata nel traffico, accompagnata dal suo autista nella sua Mercedes, a un’ora di distanza dalla passerella di Chanel, allestita in un antico palazzo del quartiere parigino di St-Cloud.
Come sempre Zoe (che si pronuncia “Zoh”) aveva scelto di indossare abiti Chanel in linea con sfilata: un cappotto Chanel di lana bouclais rosa acceso, pantaloni neri e immancabili zeppe tacco 12 aperte in punta. Non mancavano i suoi segni distintivi: l’abbronzatura perfetta, i lunghi capelli biondi acconciati apposta per sembrare disordinati, file di collane d’oro al collo e una serie di bracciali tennis di diamanti al polso, e gli enormi occhiali da sole Chanel a coprirle quasi interamente il viso. Zoe, 36 anni, appare molto forte e determinata, nonostante la sua figura risulti minuta e sottile come un fuscello persino con i tacchi alti. Gli innumerevoli gioielli, gli occhiali oversize, e tutto il vistoso look ispirato agli anni '70 contribuiscono a darle ad un fascino teatrale, ostentato ed frenetico.
I am a young interpreter and translator who looks for new opportunities and challenges.
I consider myself as dynamic, curious, determined and resourceful. Whenever there’s a problem, I work hard to find a solution and I am not afraid to ask for help.
My biggest perk is that I never stop working until everything I do is perfect, not just to satisfy my employer but also to be proud of what I did and to make my clients happy.
I have good team work skills and I can adapt easily to any environment or situation.
