Record 2 2006-04-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Blood
CONT

Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggest that the blood is coming from the lower part of the GI tract (large bowel or rectum). Hemorrhoids and diverticulitis (inflammation of an abnormal pouch in the colon called a diverticulum) are the most common causes of lower GI bleeding.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Sang
CONT

L'émission de sang rouge vif par le rectum a presque toujours son origine dans le côlon. Toutefois, il est important de se rappeler qu'un saignement abondant des voies digestives supérieures peut présenter la même apparence qu'une hémorragie digestive basse majeure. ... Devant un tableau clinique d'hémorragie digestive basse majeure avec émission de sang rouge vif par le rectum et atteinte hémodynamique, un certain nombre d'indices importants peuvent faire soupçonner que l'origine de l'hémorragie se trouve dans les voies digestives supérieures.

CONT

Les Hémorroides sont des dilatations variqueuses des veines ano-rectales, externes donc visibles (petites tuméfactions bleuâtres) ou internes (dans le canal anal, invisibles, accessibles au toucher). ... On note plus ou moins de suintement anal, des saignotements ou du sang franchement rouge arrosant les selles.

OBS

sang franchement rouge; sang rouge vif : termes retenus par le réseau Entraide Traduction Santé.

The British Railways Board was established by the Transport Act 1962, as successor to the British Transport Commission. The Board consisted of a Chairman and between nine and fifteen other members with experience in transport, industrial, commercial or financial matters. The Chairman of the Board is appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport, and the other members are appointed by the Secretary of State after consultation with the Chairman. The BRB now functions as a residuary body since the majority of its functions passed to the Strategic Rail Authority following the passing of the Transport Act 2000.
