English to Indonesian: Stem cell therapy works in heart failure trial General field: Medical Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English
A stem cell therapy for treating patients experiencing moderate to severe heart failure showed real promise in preventing serious consequences or death, according to data from a small mid-stage clinical trial.
The treatment from Australia's Mesoblast Ltd, known as revascor, appeared to be safe and reduced by 78 percent the rate of major adverse events -- heart attacks, cardiac death and need for artery clearing procedures -- after one year compared with patients who received the standard of care.
The findings from the 60-patient trial presented on Monday at theAmerican Heart Association scientific meeting in Orlando were deemed to be statistically significant, despite the small size of the study.
"It is extremely surprising and really incredible to see that there are less cardiac deaths and less MACE (major adverse cardiac events) events in the treated population and that is over a long period of follow-up, in some patients close to three years, so that's very impressive," said Dr Emerson Perin, the study's lead investigator.
"If we have the same findings in a larger study, we think we've got something that will be an approvable therapy," Perin, from the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, said in an interview.
Mesoblast and its partner Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which recently acquired original partner Cephalon, said they plan to start enrolling patients in a much larger Phase III trial in the first half of next year.
Safety was the primary goal of the Mesoblast study and there were no cases of adverse events attributed to the Mesoblast stem cells, researchers said.
Translation - Indonesian Keberhasilan terapi sel puncah dalam mengatasi gagal jantung
Terapi sel punca yang ditujukan untuk merawat pasien yang mengalami gagal jantung tingkat sedang hingga berat menunjukkan hasil yang menjanjikan dalam mencegah efek serius bahkan kematian, menurut data yang dihasilkan dari penelitian kecil suatu uji klinis tahap menengah.
Pengobatan dari Australia Mesoblast Ltd., yang dikenal sebagai revascor, kelihatannya aman dan menurunkan hingga 78% munculnya efek yang merugikan, seperti serangan jantung, kematian akibat gagal jantung dan perlunya prosedur pembersihan arteri, --setelah satu tahun dibandingkan dengan pasien yang mendapatkan perawatan standar.
Temuan yang diperoleh dari percobaan terhadap 60 pasien dan dipresentasikan hari Senin dalam acara seminar ilmiah The American Heart Association di Orlando ini dianggap sangat penting secara statistik walaupun ukuran penelitiannya kecil.
"Hal ini sangat mengejutkan dan luar biasa melihat adanya penurunan kematian yang disebabkan munculnya gagal jantung dan MACE (major adverse cardiac events-kejadian gagal jantung penting lainnya) pada populasi yang mendapat perlakuan dan diikuti dengan tindak lanjut jangka waktu panjang, pada beberapa pasien hingga hampir tiga tahun, jadi hal ini sangat mengesankan," kata Dr. Emerson Perin, ketua peneliti studi ini.
"Bila kami berhasil memperoleh hasil yang sama dalam studi yang lebih besar, kami kira ini akan menjadi suatu terapi yang disetujui untuk diterapkan," jelas Perin, dari Texas Heart Institute di Houston, dalam suatu wawancara.
Mesoblast dan partnernya, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, yang baru-baru ini mengakuisisi partner awalnya Cephalon, menyatakan bahwa mereka berencana untuk melibatkan pasien dalam jumlah lebih besar dalam penelitian tahap III di pertengahan tahun depan.
Faktor keselamatan merupakan tujuan utama studi Mesoblast dan sejauh ini belum ada kasus merugikan yang berhubungan dengan sel puncah Mesoblast, kata para peneliti.
English to Indonesian: Behind the poverty numbers: real lives, real pain General field: Other Detailed field: General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Source text - English By DAVID CRARY - AP National Writer | AP – Mon, Sep 19, 2011
At a food pantry in a Chicago suburb, a 38-year-old mother of two breaks into tears.
She and her husband have been out of work for nearly two years. Their house and car are gone. So is their foothold in the middle class and, at times, their self-esteem.
"It's like there is no way out," says Kris Fallon.
She is trapped like so many others, destitute in the midst of America's abundance. Last week, the Census Bureau released new figures showing that nearly one in six Americans lives in poverty — a record 46.2 million people. The poverty rate, pegged at 15.1 percent, is the highest of any major industrialized nation, and many experts believe it could get worse before it abates.
The numbers are daunting — but they also can seem abstract and numbing without names and faces.
Associated Press reporters around the country went looking for the people behind the numbers. They were not hard to find.
There's Tim Cordova, laid off from his job as a manager at a McDonald's in New Mexico, and now living with his wife at a homeless shelter after a stretch where they slept in their Ford Focus.
There's Bill Ricker, a 74-year-old former repairman and pastor whose home is a dilapidated trailer in rural Maine. He scrapes by with a monthly $1,003 Social Security check. His ex-wife also is hard up; he lets her live in the other end of his trailer.
There's Brandi Wells, a single mom in West Virginia, struggling to find a job and care for her 10-month-old son. "I didn't realize that it could go so bad so fast," she says.
Some were outraged by the statistics. Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund called the surging child poverty rate "a national disgrace." Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., cited evidence that poverty shortens life spans, calling it "a death sentence for tens and tens of thousands of our people."
Overall, though, the figures seemed to be greeted with resignation, and political leaders in Washington pressed ahead with efforts to cut federal spending. The Pew Research Center said its recent polling shows that a majority of Americans — for the first time in 15 years of being surveyed on the question — oppose more government spending to help the poor.
Translation - Indonesian Dibalik angka kemiskinan: kenyataan hidup, kenyataan pahit
Di ruang penyimpan barang dan makanan sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota Chicago, seorang ibu berusia 38 tahun dengan dua anak meledak dalam tangis.
Dia bersama suaminya telah menganggur selama hampir dua tahun. Rumah serta mobil milik mereka lenyap. Demikian juga posisi mereka di kelas menengah seiring dengan hilangnya harga diri mereka.
“Kami merasa seperti menghadapi jalan buntu,” ucap Kris Fallon.
Dia terjebak dalam ketidakmampuan di tengah kondisi Negara Amerika yang berlimpah. Minggu sebelumnya, Biro Sensus mengeluarkan data yang menunjukkan satu dari enam orang Amerika hidup dalam kemiskinan – rekor mencapai angka 46,2 juta orang. Tingkat kemiskinan ini, yang di patok di tingkat 15,1%, merupakan yang tertinggi diantara negara negara industri maju lainnya dan para ahli percaya hal ini dapat bertambah buruk sebelum keadaan akan mereda.
Angka ini menakutkan – tetapi juga tampak abstrak dan semu tanpa nama-nama dan wajah-wajah yang berada didalamnya.
Wartawan Associated Press berpencar ke seluruh negeri mencari orang orang yang berada dibelakang angka ini. Mereka tidak sulit untuk ditemukan.
Ada Tim Cordova, yang diberhentikan dari pekerjaannya sebagai manajer restoran McDonald di New Mexico yang sekarang hidup bersama istrinya di tempat penampuangan bagi para tunawisma setelah beberapa waktu mencoba untuk tetap bertahan dan tinggal di dalam mobil Ford Focus mereka.
Ada juga Gill Ricker, seorang mantan montir dan juga pastor berusia 74 tahun yang tinggal di karavan reyotnya di pedalaman Maine. Setiap bulannya dia berusaha bertahan dengan cek senilai $1.003 yang diterimanya sebagai tunjangan dari Jaminan Sosial. Mantan istrinya yang juga dalam kesulitan dipersilakan untuk ikut tinggal di sisi yang lain dari karavannya.
Juga ada Brandi Wells, orang tua tunggal di West Virginia yang berjuang untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan and merawat anak laki-lakinya yang berusia 10 bulan. “Saya tidak menyangka situasinya akan seburuk ini.” Katanya.
Sejumlah orang kecewa dengan angka statistik ini. Marian Wright Edelman yang bekerja untuk Children’s Defense Fund menyebut naiknya tingkat kemiskinan anak-anak ini sebagai “sebuah aib nasional”. Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, menyatakan bahwa kemiskinan akan memperpendek kesempatan hidup, dan menyebutkannya sebagai “hukuman mati bagi puluhan ribu masyarakat kita.”
Secara keseluruhan, bagaimanapun, angka–angka ini sepertinya diterima dengan putus asa, dan para politisi di Washington tetap melanjutkan penekanan untuk melakukan pengurangan anggaran. Pew Research Center mengeluarkan poling terbarunya yang menunjukan bahwa mayoritas bangsa Amerika – untuk pertama kali sejak 15 tahun disurvey dengan pertanyaan ini – menyatakan tidak setuju dengan anggaran pemerintah untuk membantu masyarakat miskin.

CrocDoc
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a table in a room that was filled with soft green light. I was still naked. A tall alien who looked a little bit like a human crocodile─or at least like a human crocodile would look if it was red instead of green─was standing over me.
“Feeling better?” asked the alien softly.
Actually, what is said was, “Klaakah greebratz?” But my brain heard it as “Feeling better?”
I sat up, got dizzy, and laid back down.
“What’s going on?” I whispered.
“I just did a little work on your head,” said the alien. As casually as if it was announcing it had gone to the corner for a loaf of bread. “I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to explain the situation before I started, but I hadn’t been expecting you.”
“What did you do?” I asked, touching my head nervously.
“I installed a Universal Translator in your brain. That’s why you can understand me. From now on, you’ll be able to understand almost everyone you meet. We all wear them; it makes life quite a bit easier. As I said, I would have explained before I did the work, but there was no way to make you understand. The only being on board who had an implant that would turn his words into your language was Broxholm, and he was tied up.”
Did the alien mean Broxholm was busy? Or had they really tied him up, as punishment for letting some kids mess up his mission? With aliens, who knew?
“You can probably sit up now,” said the brain surgeon. “You just needed a moment to let your head clear.”
Moving slowly, I pushed myself to a sitting position.
“Where are my glasses?” I asked.
“Do you need them?” asked the crocodile person, sounding surprised. (I would say the crocodile man or the crocodile woman, but the truth is, I had no idea which─if either─it was.)
I looked around and blinked in astonishment. I had never seen things so clearly in my life, not even when I was wearing glasses. “What happened?” I cried.
“I thought as long as I was poking around inside your head I might as well fix your eyes.”
“Uh─thanks,” I said. I probably should have been more enthusiastic; after all, the alien had done me real favor. But I still wasn’t comfortable with the idea that it had been poking around inside my skull without my permission.
On the other hand, being able to see so clearly without my glasses was wonderful!
“Thanks!” I said again, this time more sincere.
The red alien smiled─which meant that I got to see about three hundred and forty-two teeth─and said, “Don’t mention it.”
I heard a sound behind me. Turning, I saw another alien, though I couldn’t spot the door he had come in by. He was short─probably not more than three feet tall─blue and bald. He had big eyes, a large nose, and a thick white mustache. He also had spindly arms and a potbelly. He was wearing nothing but a pair of baggy red shorts covered with pictures of jumping yellow fish.

Waktu aku membuka mata, aku terbaring di atas meja di ruang yang temaram dengan cahaya hijau lembut. Aku masih telanjang. Sesosok makhluk asing tinggi yang kelihatan seperti manusia buaya--atau paling tidak seperti seorang manusia buaya bila warnanya bukan hijau tetapi merah--berdiri di dekatku.
“Sudah merasa lebih baik?” tanya makhluk asing itu dengan lembut.
Sebetulnya yang dia katakana adalah “Klaakah greebratz?” Tetapi otakku mendengarnya seperti “Sudah merasa lebih baik?”
Aku duduk, merasa pening dan berbaring kembali.
“Apa yang terjadi?” bisikku.
“Saya baru saja melakukan sesuatu di kepalamu,” makhluk asing itu menjawab dengan santai seperti dia baru saja membeli roti di pojok jalan. “Maaf saya tidak sempat menerangkan situasi ini sebelum dimulai, tetapi saya tidak tahu tentang kedatanganmu.”
“Apa yang telah kau lakukan?” tanyaku sambil memegang kepalaku dengan cemas.
“Saya telah memasang alat penerjemah semua bahasa di otakmu. Makanya, kamu bisa mengerti saya. Mulai saat ini, kamu bisa mengerti bahasa hampir setiap orang yang kamu temui. Kami semua memakainya, dan inilah yang membuat hidup lebih mudah. Seperti kataku tadi, saya berkeinginan untuk menjelaskan sebelumnya, tetapi tidak ada jalan yang bisa membuatmu mengerti. Satu-satunya makhluk disini yang memiliki implan yang dapat menterjemahkan kata-kata kedalam bahasamu hanyalah Broxholm, dan dia masih sibuk (tied up).”
Apakah maksud makhluk ini mengatakan ‘tied up’ itu Broxholm sibuk? Atau mereka memang mengikatnya sebagai hukuman karena membawa anak yang merusak semua misinya? Apa yang dipikirkan makhluk asing, kita tidak pernah tahu.
“Kau boleh duduk sekarang,” kata ahli bedah otak itu. “Kau hanya membutuhkan beberapa waktu untuk menjernihkan pikiranmu.”
Aku bergerak perlahan dan mendorong badanku untuk duduk.
“Dimana kacamataku?” tanyaku.
“Kau perlu kacamatamu?” sahut manusia buaya ini terkejut.
(Aku bisa menyebutnya bapak buaya atau ibu buaya, walaupun sebenarnya, aku tidak tahu yang mana yang tepat sebutannya).
Aku melihat sekeliling dan berkedip karena terpesona. Tidak pernah sekalipun seumur hidupku melihat semuanya dengan jelas, bahkan saat aku memakai kacamataku. “Apa yang terjadi?”
“Saya pikir, waktu saya memeriksa bagian dalam kepalamu, sekalian saja matamu diperbaiki.”
“Wah-terimakasih,” kataku. Seharusnya aku lebih bersemangat, bagaimanapun, makhluk asing ini telah berbaik hati kepadaku. Tetapi tetap saja, rasanya kurang nyaman karena makhluk ini telah memeriksa isi kepalaku tanpa izin.
Sebaliknya, dapat melihat dengan jelas tanpa bantuan kacamata adalah hal yang sangat menakjubkan!
“Terimakasih.” ujarku lagi, kali ini dengan lebih tulus.
Makhluk asing merah ini tersenyum--yang memungkinkan aku melihat kurang lebih tiga ratus empat puluh dua gigi--dan menjawab, “Sama-sama.”
Aku mendengar suara di belakangku. Saat menoleh, aku melihat makhluk asing lain walaupun tidak terlihat ada pintu darimana dia masuk. Dia pendek--barangkali tidak sampai satu meter tingginya--berwarna biru dan botak. Matanya besar, hidung lebar, dan kumis tebal yang memutih. Dia juga mempunyai tangan yang kurus panjang dan perut buncit. Yang dipakainya hanya celana pendek merah yang gombrang dengan corak ikan kuning berlompatan.

My translation and proofreading experience were gained during the period of time after graduating from department of Biology, Institute of Technology Bandung, and a 12 year working career for a biotechnology company that supplied seedlings for different multinational agribusiness industries.
Translation work was done mostly for business purposes covering the field of biotechnology, agriculture, agribusiness, management, science besides finance and investments.
Having the chance to deal with various clients from different countries has also given the opportunity to learn the rope how to have a thorough communication in getting good business relations.
My English was enriched and polished after taking English course at Berlitz English Centers in Houston, Texas-USA and also during my English teaching career for more than 15 years. I have Teacher Training certificate for teaching all levels (basic, intermediate, Advanced for general English included listening-speaking, reading-writing & Conversation)
Having the opportunity to live in the US for more than 5 years, has given the insight of meeting people from different walks of life and getting involved in real life interactions. I volunteered for different social group activities (medical & rescue support group, school & public libraries, taught English with the target in introducing cultural, regulations and system differences to immigrants).
