Really think that the video was a great example of a lot of mistakes that we can have during a session that why its so important to always have a precession,

[Carlos Martinez]

Interpreters errors

1 .-Interpreter is not speaking in first person she’s speaking, referring as she said and the interpreter didn’t introduce herself properly and tell the patient and the doctor about the protocol to follow in case the session gets a little bit out of control meaning the stop sign .
2.-she did right taking her book to write at all scene the interpreter is not taking notes at all
3.-the interpreter didn’t translate the term catscan (tomografía) en español
4.- the interpreter didn’t say correctly how many times the patient have had ulcers problems with her the interpreter added stomach which the patient never mention and the interpreter omitted that the patient have 2 or 3 stomach problems.
5.-The interpreter use the word some ulcers instead of saying they have ulcers problems to the doctor or the provider the interpreter didn’t know the term GERD and she didn’t mention nothing about GERD disease ton the patient but she was right about the bacteria HPylori which was the only thing that she mention to the patient she just did a huge mistake in that session.
7 .- Performance measures
Professionalism
Avoid personal political or potentially conversation topics with all parties all times.
8 .- Hiding or not mentioning any kind of symptoms that a patient have during a session can get an interpreter in a lot of problems that can even end interpreters career.
9.-When it’s about making a test of any kind of health related always be specific about how many are they going to make for example the doctor mention I’ll send the order and the interpreter said he’s going to send the orders meaning that there were going to make several procedures to do that’s why the patient was so confuse.
10.-The Interpreter did a great job asking the doctor about the endoscopy but she didn’t explain correctly al the procedure like for example that someone has to drive the patient to the hospital that she’s going to have an anesthetic that it’s not going to be painful and that it’s a camera that it’s introduce into the esophagus it’s not only a tube.
11.-never never let someone that it’s not certified as an Interpreter take part in a session it’s our job that’s why we are in the room for it doesn’t matter if it’s the doctor we politely have to make a stop sign and ask for he doctor to speak to us because if something happens we are interpreters are going to be in a lot of problems.

So the most common areas of an interpreter in my point of view i really thing it would be internal medicine we live in a country that we have so many people around the world that every day they come into the hospitals for different kind of diseases ever country has different kind of viruses and infections we have to remember that every time somebody comes into this country to live we have to be aware that probably there will be a new virus or a new infection in our country im not saying that its a fact that people from another country are caring diseases or virus but every part of the world its different that’s why its very important for this government to make a plan (Strategy)of check every immigrant that come into this country as an immigrant I was checked about my health status when I apply for my citizenship but in my point of view that its something that in the field of the medicine should be done on a norm to everybody not only to certain people.

[Carlos Martinez]

Infection in this field of the medicine I find that its very challenging because infections just like viruses will never stop spreading in the world just like what happened when the world had to challenge the covid virus we weren’t ready to fight against this virus i really think that infections and viruses are the most difficult for a doctor when its about to explain to a patient and i really think that one of the terms in this medical area that its very difficult to understand and to explain somebody when we have a session a patient its that he or she its Antibiotic Resistance.
Oncology its one of the most difficult fields for me as an interpreter in the medicine because of the word cancer which for everyone means the END in my point of view this medicine field will be the most difficult in this career that I’m interest and the term that I feel that will be the most Challenging I think it will be Metastasis ( spreading of cancer cells from one organ or tissue to another. Cancer cells usually spread through the blood or the lymph system. If a cancer spreads, it is said to have “metastasized.

Smoking habit its the worst that we can do to our body not only to our lungs.

[Carlos Martinez]

I think the same as you apps don’t help when its something about our health the best thing to do its follow our medical provider instructions.

Alveoli are tiny, balloon-shaped air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles, the branch-like tubes in the lungs. The alveoli move oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules into and out of your bloodstream Alveoli are lined by a fluid (surfactant) that maintains the shape of each air sac and helps keep it open so oxygen and CO2 can pass through the diaphragm is the muscle that controls your breathing we breathe in, our diaphragm contracts and creates negative pressure in your chest, when this happens the alveoli expand and pull in air when we breathe out, our diaphragm relaxes the alveoli then recoil or spring back, pushing out air.
The alveoli are an important part of your respiratory system. They are responsible for moving oxygen into, and CO2 out of, the bloodstream, Health problems like emphysema and tuberculosis can affect how the alveoli function. Certain cancers can also start in the alveoli. Even short-term lung diseases like pneumonia can still be very serious. Some conditions that affect the alveoli can even lead to respiratory failure.
there are couple of diseases that can cause Alveoli damage such as:
Pneumonia
Emphysema
Tuberculosis
Alveolar proteinosis
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Respiratory distress syndrome
Pulmonary edema
We can heal our Alveoli too if we do the next which i think number one is the most important.
Quitting smoking and substances that harm your lungs: Cigarette smoke affects how the alveoli work and causes damage all the way down to the molecular level, it disrupts your body’s ability to repair itself after an infection or trauma, too, the longer you’re exposed to smoke, the worse the alveolar damage will get.
Work on better breathing: Doing deep breathing exercises and learning how to perform diaphragmatic breathing can help support your lungs and make them stronger.
Using herbal and alternative remedies: Echinacea, ginseng, licorice root, astragalus root, and ginger may help with lung health. However, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any herbal remedies, as they can interact with traditional medications in some cases.

Its amazing how our human body has all this abilities

The number of skin layers that exists depends on how you count them the human body have three main layers of skin—the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue) in these layers are additional layers if we count the layers within the layers, the skin has eight or even 10 layers Skin is the largest organ in the body and is quite complex Its primary function is to act as a barrier against disease-causing pathogens (germs) and hostile environments it also helps regulate body temperature and gathers sensory information from your environment
The Epidermis top layer
The epidermis is the outermost skin layer its thickness depends on where it is on the body it’s thinnest on the eyelids (roughly half a millimeter) and thickest on your palms and soles 1.5 millimeters.
The Dermis middle layer
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. It contains connective tissue, capillaries, nerve endings, and hair follicles it also contains different glands, including sebaceous glands that produce sebum (a body oil) and apocrine glands that produce sweat.
Hypodermis bottom layer
The innermost layer of the skin is the hypodermis. Also known as subcutaneous tissue, the majority of your body fat is stored in the subcutaneous layer. It insulates you against changing temperatures and protects your muscles and internal organs from impacts and falls ,in medical shorthand subcutaneous is abbreviated SQ , an SQ injection is delivered to the subcutaneous layer.

Thanks for the info it was as always very informative.

The tissues, glands, and organs involved in producing offspring (children). In women, the reproductive system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina. In men, it includes the prostate, the testes, and the penis both systems have gonads (male have testes and female have ovaries) that produce gametes (testes produce sperm and ovaries produce egg or ovum) and sex organs. .
They are the same in that most of the reproductive organs of both sexes develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonads (male have testes and female have ovaries) that produce gametes (testes produce sperm and ovaries produce egg or ovum) and sex organs
The differences between the female and male reproductive systems are based on the functions of each individual’s role in the reproduction cycle. A male who is healthy, and sexually mature, continuously produces sperm. The development of women’s “eggs” are arrested during fetal development.
The female reproductive system is heavily influenced by two main hormones, estrogen and progesterone. These hormones promote the growth and development of the female reproductive system, regulate the menstrual cycle, and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

Hormones on the female
Estrogen is produced primarily in the ovaries and plays a crucial role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and the growth of pubic hair. It also helps to thicken the lining of the uterus in preparation for pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels rise and fall, causing changes in the thickness of the uterine lining and the release of an egg from the ovary.
Progesterone, on the other hand, is produced by the ovaries and the placenta during pregnancy. It helps to maintain the thickened uterine lining and prepares the breasts for milk production. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels drop, causing the uterine lining to shed and resulting in menstruation.

Hormones on the Male
Hormones play a significant role in male reproductive function, particularly testosterone. This hormone is produced in the testes and aids in the development of sexual characteristics, including the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and the development of muscles and bones.
In addition to testosterone, other hormones also play a role in male reproductive function. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are produced in the pituitary gland and stimulate the testes to produce sperm. Without these hormones, the testes would not be able to produce sperm, which is necessary for reproduction.
Hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on male reproductive function. Low levels of testosterone can lead to decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and infertility. On the other hand, high levels of testosterone can lead to aggressive behavior, acne, and an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is important for men to maintain a healthy balance of hormones to ensure optimal reproductive function and overall health

Nerves are the organs that make up the peripheral nervous system. It consists of a cord-like structure with multiple nerve fibbers (also called axons) wrapped in layers of tissue and fat , axon has layers of connective tissue around it this connective tissue is called the endoneurium , nervous system cells are called neurons, they have three distinct parts, including a cell body, axon, and dendrites. These parts help them to send and receive chemical and electrical signals.
The basic unit of the nervous system is a nerve cell, or neuron. The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons. A neuron has a cell body, which includes the cell nucleus, and special extensions called axons (pronounced AK-sonz) and dendrites (pronounced DEN-drahytz). Bundles of axons, called nerves, are found throughout the body. Axons and dendrites allow neurons to communicate, even across long distances.
Cell body
Also known as a soma, the cell body is the core section of the neuron. The cell body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and provides energy to drive activities.
Dendrites
Dendrites are fibrous roots that branch out from the cell body. Like antennae, dendrites receive and process signals from the axons of other neurons. Neurons can have more than one set of dendrites, known as dendritic trees, the main function of the dendrites is to receive information from other neurons called pre synaptic neurons or from the environment , this signals from the pre synaptic neurons come into form of neurotransmitters.
Axon
An axon is a long, tail-like structure this cable its usually thinner than a human hair and its where the electrical impulses from the neuron travel It joins the cell body at a specialized junction called the axon hillock. Many axons are insulated with a fatty substance called myelin. Myelin helps axons to conduct an electrical signal.

Neurons usually have one main axon.
The nervous system also includes non-neuron cells, called glia (pronounced GLEE-uh). Glia perform many important functions that keep the nervous system working properly. For example, glia:

Help support and hold neurons in place
Protect neurons
Create insulation called myelin, which helps move nerve impulses
Repair neurons and help restore neuron function
Trim out dead neurons
Regulate neurotransmitters
