Source text - English 1. El 15 Salón Internacional de Alimentación y bebidas, Alimentaria 2004, se celebra en Barcelona cada dos años y es la Feria más grande del estado español y la más importante del mundo.
2. Esta edición ha incrementado el espació de exposición con la ocupación por vez primera del recinto de la Gran Vía, a donde se ha trasladado el salón Intervin, dentro del cual se incluye el espació Vinorum.
3. Por sectores, el más representado es el Cárnico, precisamente uno de los motores económicos de las comarcas de Girona.
4. De las 4.200 empresas de todo el mundo que encontramos en el recinto Ferial, 83 representan la industria alimentaria de Girona, motor económico de nuestras comarcas.
5. El grupo Pondrell, como principal industria cárnica de Girona, consta de tres factorías industriales y participa en tres grandes mataderos que aseguran el suministro de carne de la mejor calidad. Los orígenes de Pondrell se encuentran en un obrador de 60m cuadrados donde hace unos 5o años empezó la actividad de elaboración de productos artesanos, que se vendían en una pequeña carnicería de Girona. Hoy, Pondrell se ha convertido en una de las empresas más importantes del país con un importante equipo humano formado por 500 personas y con una constante expansión internacional.
6. Más de 100 productos elaborados con materias primas de primera calidad.
Translation - Spanish 1. The 15th International Food and Beverage Tradeshow, Alimentaria 2004, takes place in Barcelona every two years. The largest in Spain, Alimentaria is also the most important in the world.
2. This year’s fair has included an increase in exhibition space due to the first time use of La Gran Vía, the site where tradeshow Intervin, which includes the Vinorum expo, took place.
3. By industry, meat processing was the most represented. In fact, this particular industry is one of the main economical driving forces in the Girona region.
4. Out of the 4,200 companies from around the world that participated in this year's tradeshow, 83 represented the Girona food industry, an economical driving force in our region.
5. The Pondrell Group, the main meat processing industry in Girona, includes three industrial factories and has shares in three major slaughterhouses, which ensure meat supply of the highest quality. Pondrell’s origins date back 50 years ago to a small 60 sq. m. work room where traditionally manufactured products began to be produced to be sold in a small butchery in Girona. Today, Pondrell has become one of the most important companies in the country with a vital work team constisting of around 500 members, along with constant international expansion.
6. Over one hundred products are produced with highest quality raw materials.
English to Spanish: Irrigation Solution Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English Irrigation solution in XYZ® bag
Description
1000, 3000 and 5000 ml XYZ® bags containing sterile and non-pyrogenic solution for
irrigation.
Uses
This solution is nonhaemolytic and without electrolytes and is used for irrigation of the
cutting surface of the prostate to enable the surgeon to have good visibility of the
operating field during transurethral resection of prostate surgery.
Warnings
1. Not for intravenous administration.
2. Do not use unless solution is clear and container is undamaged.
3. Discard unused contents of opened containers.
4. Do not vent.
5. Microwave heating of fluids is not recommended.
6. The solution is not to be taken orally.
Cautions
Excessive volumes of irrigation fluid entering the systemic circulation should be
systematically considered in case of:
1. Non-reactive bilateral mydriasis (attesting the systemic passage of glycine) during
general anesthesia.
2. Combination of the following clinical signs: nausea, headache, somnolence,
excitement, confusion, blurred vision or amaurosis during local/regional anesthesia
(attesting the systemic passage of fluid).
In the presence of these signs the procedure should be interrupted after immediate
blood sampling for hemostasis, natremia and hematocrit evaluation. An appropriate
therapy should be initiated: the restriction of fluid administration and administration of a
loop diuretic. These symptoms can also appear upon recovery.
Particular care is needed in monitoring patients with impaired renal or cardiac function
as a fluid overload syndrome may develop following absorption of even small quantities
of irrigation fluid.
Keeping the hydrostatic pressure within the bladder as low as possible may minimize
absorption of bladder irrigants during transurethral surgery. This may be achieved by
monitoring the in-out flow of irrigation fluid from the bladder, by frequent emptying of the
bladder and by good surgical technique.
Flammable gases are known to be produced during transurethral resection of prostate
surgery, particularly during uninterrupted or prolonged procedures. Admixture of
atmospheric air can increase the risk of explosion and should be avoided; the air pocket
in the bladder should, therefore, be kept to an absolute minimum.
Prolonged cautery use can lead to a build up of flammable gases.
Translation - Spanish Solución de irrigación en bolsas XYZ®
Descripción
Las bolsas XYZ® de 1000, 3000 y 5000 ml contienen una solución estéril no pirogénica para irrigación.
Usos
Esta solución no hemolítica sin electrolitos es utilizada para la irrigación de la superficie de corte de la próstata para permitirle al cirujano una buena visibilidad del área de operación durante la resección transuretral de la cirugía de próstata.
Advertencias
1. No es para administración intravenosa
2. No utilice a menos que la solución sea clara y el recipiente no tenga daños
3. Descarte el contenido no utilizado de los recipientes abiertos
4. No ventile
5. Se recomienda no calentar los fluidos en el microondas
6. La solución no es para administración por vía oral
Precauciones
Las cantidades excesivas de fluido de irrigación que entren a la circulación sistémica deben ser consideradas sistemáticamente en caso de:
1. Midriasis bilateral no reactiva (como prueba del pasaje sistemático de glicina) durante la anestesia general
2. Combinación de las siguientes señales clínicas: náusea, cefalea, somnolencia, excitabilidad, confusión, visión borrosa o amaurosis durante anestesia local o regional (como prueba de pasaje sistemático de fluido)
En caso de observar estas señales, se debe interrumpir el procedimiento inmediatamente luego de un muestreo sanguíneo por hemostasia, natremia y evaluación de hematocritos. Se debe iniciar una terapia apropiada: restricción de la administración de fluidos y de un diurético de asa. Estos síntomas también pueden aparecer cuando comience la recuperación.
Se requiere un cuidado especial para monitorizar a aquellos pacientes con funciones renales o cardiacas disminuidas porque puede presentarse síndrome de sobrecarga luego de la absorción de incluso pequeñas cantidades del fluido de irrigación.
Mantener la presión hidrostática en la vejiga lo más baja posible podría minimizar la absorción de irrigadores de la vejiga durante la cirugía transuretral. Esto se puede lograr mediante el monitorización del flujo del fluido de irrigación hacia dentro y hacia fuera de la vejiga mediante el vaciado frecuente de la misma y una buena técnica quirúrgica.
Es sabido que se pueden producir gases inflamables durante la resección transuretral de la cirugía de próstata, especialmente durante procesos ininterrumpidos o prolongados. La adición de aire atmosférico puede incrementar el riesgo de explosión y debe ser evitado. Por consiguiente, las bolsas de aire de la vejiga deben mantenerse al mínimo absoluto.
El uso prolongado de de cauterios podría conducir a la acumulación de gases inflamables.
