Monsieur XXXX né le XXXXX
a été hospitalisé dans notre service du 09/09/2011 au 29/09/2011 devant la crainte d’un nouvel accident ischémique.
Les antécédents et facteurs do risque vasculaire sont déjà charges comprenant : HTA, diabète de type ll, cardiopathie ischémique stentée, tabagisme récemment arrêté, surpoids, artérite sévère des membres inferieurs ; enfin un tout récent accident ischémique capsulo-thalamique gauche fin août.
Cette fois il rapporte de façon pas brutale mais rapidement progressive sur 30mn d’un déficit sensitivo-moteur gauche chez un gaucher, l'ensemble ayant duré quelques heures.
Initialement le soir même ce 9 septembre est encore constaté un discret déficit brachio-facial gauche, une petite note également proprioceptive et ii rapporte toujours quelques paresthésies de l'hémicorps gauche.
La TDM complétée d'une IRM encéphalique n'objective pas de nouvelle lésion ischémique en particulier a droite mais Ies mêmes lésions que celles constatées fin août au décours du premier accident ischémique a savoir des plages d'infarctus bi focaux : de la cérébrale antérieure gauche (petit infarctus para- médian) et capsule-thalamique gauche ; Ies séquences agiographiques étant sans particularité. Dans le même ordre d'idées, l’écho doppler cervico-encéphalique objective une athéromatose diffuse avec plus particulièrement une sténose de la carotide interne droite estimée entre 50 et 55% (côté asymptomatique).
Dans l’hypothèse d’un éventuel déficit post critique, un EEG a été réalisé qui s'avère sans particularité.
L'ECG déroule un rythme sinusal. La biologie standard est sans particularité, l’hémoglobine glycosylée est un peu élevée a 7.2%.
On constatera ensuite régulièrement durant son séjour des épisodes d'hypoglycémie autour de 0.6, 0.7gl, pauci symptomatique et je pense que c'est l’hypothèse qui doit prévaloir ; la description clinique est en effet peu compatible avec un accident ischémique devant le caractère progressif de la sémiologie et d‘autre part, alors même que cette sémiologie a été prolongée, ii n'y a aucun stigmate ischémique a droite en diffusion.
Translation - English Dear colleague,
Mr [redacted] born on [redacted]
Patient was hospitalized on our ward from 09/09/2011 to 09/29/2011 due to the concern of an onset of another ischemic stroke.
The history and vascular risk factors weigh in heavily to include arterial hypertension, type II diabetes, stented ischemic cardiopathy; recently arrested tobacco use; obesity, severe arteritis of the lower limbs and finally, a very recent left ischemic capsulo-thalamic stroke in late August.
This particular onset did not present in an acute manner, but was instead progressing rapidly over 30 minutes and manifesting as a left-sided sensorimotor deficiency in the left-handed patient. The entire episode lasted several hours.
Initially, on the evening of this September 9th, a slight left brachiofacial deficiency was observed as well as slight proprioceptive deficiency as well. He continues to complain of some paresthesia on his left side.
The CAT scan complemented by a cerebral MRI did not detect any new ischemic lesions, namely on the right. However, the angiographic sequences showed that the very lesions that were observed at the end of August, as the first ischemic event abated, were unremarkable; namely the bifocal infarction sites: the left anterior cerebral, (small paramedian infarction) and the left thalamic capsule infarctions. The cervico-encephalic Doppler examination detected diffuse atheromatosis more particularly, an estimated 50% to 55% right internal carotid stenosis (asymptomatic side).
In the eventuality of a future post-critical deficiency, an EEG was performed that showed nothing remarkable.
The EKG elicited sinus rhythm. Standard panels performed proved to be unremarkable with the exception of slightly elevated glycosylated hemoglobin at 7.2%.
Throughout the patient’s hospitalization, we have observed hypoglycemic episodes around 0.6, 0.7 g/L. with few accompanying symptoms, and I therefore believe that this should the dominant hypothesis. In view of the progressive character of the symptomology, this clinical picture is in fact not necessarily compatible with an ischemic event. Additionally, despite this symptomology persisting over a period of time, there exist no right-sided diffusing ischemic abnormalities.

Born to French parents, I was educated both in France and here in the United States. French was my first language, but I speak and write both French and English with equal acuity. My education is in the veterinary technology field which has given me a serious advantage in medical translation.
I was employed for six years as professional English to French translator by a major software company in Ohio. Along with my translation and QA duties were software interface and some functionality testing. My translation duties included ECM interface translation as well as all the user and installation manuals, proposals, marketing and many other types of documents that revolved around the software.
Prior to that, I specialized in medical translations ranging from joint replacements and cardiac bypass procedures to full records to transcriptions. I also worked temporarily as an Oncology transcription for an Oncology department in a hospital.
I have also translated legal documents such as business contracts, lawsuits, and divorce decrees. I worked on a translation team that dealt with UN and NGO sexual harassment training, processes and prosecution as well as a procedure policy in case of an encounter by a commercial vessel with pirates off the coast of Somalia.
I also regularly translate news articles into English for a major European news outlet in a wide range of topics from arts and humanities, to banking, fiscal, political, immigration and many others.
I am in constant contact with family and friends in France mainly through Skype, and stay abreast of the news and issues facing the European Union.
