医学专业英语上册(第六章)chapter 6 respiratory system
posterior to the upright epiglottis and extends to the larynx, where the common pathway divides into the respiratory and digestive channels. From the laryngopharynx, air enters the lower respiratory passageways by passing through the larynx (voice box) and into the trachea below. Pharynx serves as a food and air passageway. Air enters from the nasal cavities and passes through the pharynx to the larynx. Food enters the pharynx from the mouth and passes into the esophagus.
Larynx The larynx is the location of the vocal cords. It consists of nine cartilages. The two most prominent are the large shield-shaped thyroid cartilage, whose anterior medial laryngeal prominence is commonly referred to as Adam’s apple, and the inferiorly located, ring-shaped cricoid cartilage, whose wildest dimension faces posteriorly. A flap of cartilaginous tissue, the epiglottis, sits above the glottis. The epiglottis provides protection against food and liquid being inhaled into the lungs since it covers the larynx and trachea during swallowing. Trachea On its way to the lungs, air passes from the larynx to the trachea (windpipe), a vertical tube approximately 12.5 centimeters in length and 2.5 centimeters in diameter.

Unit11、Some factors that may lead to the complaint:·Neuron overload·Patients* high expectations·Mistrust and misunderstanding between the patient and the doctor2、Mrs. Osorio’s condition:·A 56-year-old woman·Somewhat overweight·Reasonably well-controlled diabetes and hypertension·Cholesterol on the high side without any medications for it·Not enough exercises she should take·Her bones a little thin on her last DEXA scan3、Good things:·Blood tests done·Glucose a little better·Her blood pressure a little better but not so great Bad things:·Cholesterol not so great·Her weight a little up·Her bones a little thin on her last DEXA scan 44、The situation:·The author was in a moderate state of panic: juggling so many thoughts aboutMrs. Osorio’s conditions and trying to resolve them all before the clock ran down.·Mrs. Osorio made a trivial request, not so important as compared to her conditions.and completely justified ·Mrs. Osorio seemed to care only about her “innocent —：the form signed by her doctor.—request”·The doctor tried to or at least pretended to pay attention to the patient whilecompleting documentation.5、Similarities:·In computer multitasking, a microprocessor actually performs only one task at a time. Like microprocessors, we human beings carft actually concentrate on two thoughts at the same exact time. Multitasking is just an illusion both in computersand human beings.Differences:·The concept of multitasking originated in computer science.·At best, human beings can juggle only a handful of thoughts in a multitasking manner, but computers can do much better.·The more thoughts human beings juggle, the less human beings are able to attune fully to any given thought, but computers can do much better.6、·7 medical issues to consider·5 separate thoughts, at least, for each issue·7 x 5 = 35 thoughts·10 patients that afternoon·35 x 10 = 350 thoughts·5 residents under the authors supervision·4 patients seen by each resident·10 thoughts, at least, generated from each patient·5 x 4 x 10 = anther 200 thoughts·350 + 200 = 550 thoughts to be handled in total·If the doctor does a good job juggling 98% of the time, that still leaves about 10 thoughts that might get lost in the process.7、Possible solutions:·Computer-generated reminders·Case managers·Ancillary services·The simplest solution: timeUnit21、The author implies:?

'? The vaccination rates are dropping in some American cities, and it will lead to more diphtheria and whooping cough.7、The four areas of focus:·The need for surveillance·Updated science capable of dealing with discoveries in the field·Appropriate prevention and control·Strong public health infrastructure8、The infectious diseases such as TB, flu, diphtheria and scarlet fever will never really go away, and the war against them will never end.Unit31、Terry's life before·She loved practicing Tae Kwon Do·She loved the surge of adrenaline that came with the controlled combat of tournaments.·She competed nationally, even won bronze medal in the trials for the Pan American Games.·She attended medical school, practiced as an internal medicine resident, and became an academic general internist.·She got married and got a son and a daughter.2、The symptoms of MS and autoimmune disease:·Loss of stamina and strength·Problems with balance·Bouts of horrific facial pain·Dips in visual acuity3、Terry did the following before she self-experimented:·She started injections.·She adopted many pharmacotherapies.·She began her own study of literature:? She read articles on websites such as PubMed.? She searched for articles testing new MS drugs in animal models.? She turned to articles concerning neurodegeneration of all types — dementia，Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease.? She relearned basic sciences such as cellular physiology, biochemistry, andneurophysiology.4、Approaches Terry mainly used:·Self-experimentation with various nutrients to slow neurodegeneration based on literature reports on animal models·Self-experimentation with neuromuscular electrical stimulation which is not an approved treatment for MS·Online search to identify the sources of micronutrients and having a new diet ·Reduction of food allergies and toxic load5、Cases mentioned in the text:·Increased mercury stores in the brains of people with dental fillings·High levels of the herbicide atrazine in private wells in Iowa·The strong association between pesticide exposure and neurodegeneration·The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms involving metabolism of sulfur and/or B vitamins·Inefficient clearing of toxins6、With 70% to 90% of the risk for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, andautoimmunity being due to environmental factors other than the genes, we cantake many health problems and the health care crisis under our control, for example, optimizing our nutrition and reducing our toxic load.Unit41、Two concepts:·Complementary medicine refers to the use of conventional therapies together with alternative treatments such as using acupuncture in addition to usual care to help lessen pain. Complementary and alternative medicine is shortened as CAM.·Alternative medicine refers to healing treatments that are not part of conventional therapies —like acupuncture, massage therapy, or herbal medicine.

Tendency to produce comparable groups? Guaranteed validity of statistical tests of significanceLimitations:? Difficulty in generalizing the results obtained from the selected sampling to the population as a whole?

药学英语Unit 6 Text A 注释及译文
Drug Discovery and Natural Products It may be argued that drug discovery is a recent concept that evolved from modern science during the 20th century, but this concept in reality dates back many centuries, and has its origins in nature. On many occasions, humans have turned to Mother Nature for cures, and discovered unique drug molecules. Thus, the term natural product has become almost synonymous with the concept of drug discovery. In modem drug discovery and development processes, natural products play an important role at the early stage of "lead" discovery, i.e. discovery of the active (determined by various bioassays) natural molecule, which itself or its structural analogues could be an ideal drug candidate.1.origin ['ɔridʒin] n.起点，端点; 来源；出身, 血统.2.Synonymous [sɪ'nɔnəməs]adj.同义的，类义的.3.i.e. [,aɪ'i:] <拉> abbr.

学术英语unit6“临终关怀”相关知识、文章缩写版与文章大概
首先介绍，在生命尽头的关爱有几种形式？Asked where they would like to spend their last days, most people always say at home, surrounded by people they love. In real life, though, only one in five achieves that. More than 30% die in a nursing home, where almost no one wants to be, and over half end up in a hospital, often in an intensive-care unit, heavily sedated and attached to life-saving equipment until their doctors give up the battle.【参考资料：有at hospitals and nursing homes，有at home，有hospice（临终关怀服务）。
】然后开始重点阐述“临终关怀”：一、什么是“临终关怀”服务的对象&目的？Hospice care is a system of care that helps those with an incurable illness（对象）to focus on making the most of whatever time is left（目的）. They offer a range of support, often alongside active treatment for an illness. The focus of modern hospice care is on helping people to live well until they die. Dying in a hospice care can bring families（对象）peace and allow a closeness which isn't always possible at home.【参考资料：临终关怀（palliative care = hospice care = terminal care）并非是一种治愈疗法，而是一种专注于在患者在将要逝世前的几个星期甚至几个月的时间内，减轻其疾病的症状、延缓疾病发展的医疗护理。

Drug Discovery and Natural Products It may be argued that drug discovery is a recent concept that evolved from modern science during the 20th century, but this concept in reality dates back many centuries, and has its origins in nature. On many occasions, humans have turned to Mother Nature for cures, and discovered unique drug molecules. Thus, the term natural product has become almost synonymous with the concept of drug discovery. In modem drug discovery and development processes, natural products play an important role at the early stage of "lead" discovery, i.e. discovery of the active (determined by various bioassays) natural molecule, which itself or its structural analogues could be an ideal drug candidate.1.origin ['ɔridʒin] n.起点，端点; 来源；出身, 血统.2.Synonymous [sɪ'nɔnəməs]adj.同义的，类义的.3.i.e. [,aɪ'i:] <拉> abbr.

下面YJBYS店铺分享一篇关于外科医生的大学英语课文，欢迎学习!A famous surgeon tells about the importance of self-confidence from his own experience.The Making of a SurgeonHow does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a "surgeon"? As my year as chief resident drew to a close I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.The answer, I concluded, was self-confidence. When you can say to yourself, "There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just as well as or better than any other surgeon" - then, and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon. I was nearing that point.Take, for example, the emergency situations that we encountered almost every night. The first few months of the year I had dreaded the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be made. Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular situation, I'd have trouble getting back to sleep. I'd review all the facts of the case and, not infrequently, wonder if I hadn't made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the morning, after lying awake for an hour, I'd get out of bed, dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only way I could find the peace of mind I needed to relax.Now, in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem. There were still situations in which I couldn'tbe certain my decision had been the right one, but I had learned to accept this as a constant problem for a surgeon, one that could never be completely resolved - and I could live with it. So, once I had made a considered decision, I no longer dwelt on it. Reviewing it wasn't going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a sound one. It was a nice feeling.In the operating room I was equally confident. I knew I had the knowledge, the skill, the experience to handle any surgical situation I'd ever encounter in practice. There were no more butterflies in my stomach when I opened up an abdomen or a chest. I knew that even if the case was one in which it was impossible to anticipate the problem in advance, I could handle whatever l found. I'd sweated through my share of stab wounds of the belly, of punctured lungs, of compound fractures. I had sweated over them for five years. I didn't need to sweat any more.Nor was I afraid of making mistakes. I knew that when I was out in practice I would inevitably err at one time or another and operate on someone who didn't need surgery or sit on someone who did. Five years earlier - even one year earlier - I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had had to take sole responsibility for a mistake in judgment. Now I could. I still dreaded errors - would do my best to avoid them -- but I knew they were part of a surgeon's life. I could accept this fact with calmness because I knew that if I wasn't able to avoid a mistake, chances were that no other surgeon could have, either.This all sounds conceited and I guess it is - but a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the doubts and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he's as good asand probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit - call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.NEW WORDSsurgeonn. doctor who performs operations 外科医生self-confidencen. 自信心makingn. means of gaining success 成功之道residentn. 住院医生concludevt. arrive at a belief or opinion by reasoning 得出结论surgicala. of, by, or for surgery 外科的;手术的competentlyad. with the necessary skill 称职地;胜任地competenta.nearvt. approach; come closer toemergencyn. sudden and dangerous happening needing immediate action 紧急情况;急症encountervt. be faced with (difficulties, danger, etc.); meet unexpectedly 遭到;意外地遇见dreadvt. fear greatly 畏惧criticala. important at a time of danger and difficulty 紧要的;关键性的particulara. belonging to some one person, thing, or occasion 特定的casen. instance of disease or injury 病例infrequentlyad. seldom; not oftenrelaxvi. become less tense 放松relaxationn.residencyn. the last stage of a doctor's training at a hospital 高级专科住院实习(期)constanta. happening all the time; unchanging 不断的;始终如一的resolvevt. solve 解决resolutionn.considereda. carefully thought out 经过深思熟虑的dwellvi. live (in a place) 居住bounda. very likely; certain 一定的，必然的sounda. correct; based on good judgment 正确的，合理的'confidenta. sure of oneself and one's abilities 自然的confidencen.handlevt. manage, deal with 处理butterflyn. 蝴蝶abdomenn. belly 腹(部)anticipatevt. see beforehand 预期anticipationn.sweatn. 汗vi. 流汗stabn. thrust made with a pointed weapon 刺;戳bellyn. 肚，腹部puncturevt. make a small hole in (sth.) with sth. pointed 刺穿compounda. having more than one part 复合的fracturen. break in a bone 骨折compoundn. 复合性骨折inevitablyad. unavoidably 不可避免地inevitablea.errvi. make mistakes; do wrongoperatevi. perform a surgical operation 动手术surgeryn. 外科;外科手术solea. unshared; one and only 唯一的responsibilityn. 责任;责任心avoidvt. escape; keep or get away from 避免conceiteda. having too high an opinion of oneself 自负的conceitn. too high an opinion of oneselftryinga. hard to endure or bear; very difficult 难受的;恼人的bothervt. annoy, trouble 烦扰，麻烦uncertaintyn. uncertain condition; doubtPHRASES & EXPRESSIONSdraw to a closecome to an end 结束live withlearn to accept (sth. unpleasant); tolerate 学会;适应;容忍dwell onthink, write, or speak a lot about 老是想着;详述;强调(be) bound to (do)(be) certain to (do) 一定..., 必然...in practice(医师,律师等) 在开业中;在实践中butterflies in the stomachfeelings of nervousness 忐忑不安open upcut open 切开,给...开刀in advanceahead of time 预先,事前at one time or anothersometime or other 早晚sit ondelay taking action on; do nothing about 拖延;搁置PROPER NAMESNolen诺兰(姓氏)Walt沃尔特(男子名 Walter 的昵称)Larry拉里(男子 Lawrence 的昵称)。

Reading Comprehension1.Formulate definitions for pathology and pathophysiology.Pathology, in the context of human medicine, is not only a basic or theoretical science but also a clinical medical specialty. Pathologists specialize in laboratory medicine; they consult with other physicians, thereby assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Pathophysiology deals with the dynamic aspects of the disease process. It is the study of disordered or altered functions, for example, the physiologic changes caused by disease in a living organism.2.What is the difference between anatomic and clinical pathology? List at leastthree examples of types of studies included under each of these categories.The scope of laboratory medicine includes all of the studies performed on patient samples, including samples of tissue, blood, and other body fluids. Laboratory studies involving anatomic pathology study and assess morphologic alterations in cells and tissues. Surgical pathology, cytopathology, and autopsy pathology are included in this category. Many studies are performed using other means. These areas of clinical pathology include clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, and immunohematology.3.What is the difference between etiology and pathogenesis?Etiology, in its most general definition, is the assignment of causes or reasons for phenomena. A description of the cause of a disease includes the identification of those factors that provoke the particular disease. Pathogenesis of a disease refers to the development or evolution of the disease. To continue with the above example, the pathogenesis of tuberculosis would include the mechanisms whereby the invasion of the body by the tubercle bacillus ultimately leads to the observed abnormalities.4.Explain the complex factors associated with the concept of normalcy.First, individuals differ from one another in their genetic makeup. Thus, no two individuals in the world, except those derived from the same fertilized ovum, have exactly the same genes. Second, individuals differ in their life experiencesand in their interaction with the environment. Third, in every individual there are variations in physiologic parameters because of the way in which the control mechanisms of the body function.5—B 6—A 7—B 8—C 9—A 10—CII.

— Samuel Johnson • The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think
intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals… We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.
