Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) CT SCAN RESULTS
1 Área de hipodensidad frontal derecha s/a evento isquémico agudo. (CT scan results)
2. CARDIOPATÍA S/A TOXICIDAD POR ANTRACICLINAS (Patient history)

I'm afraid there's no other context than what I have in parentheses, as these are short database entries. I was thinking maybe the "s" is for "sin" but I don't know what the "a" would be and I could be way off track. Any help appreciated! Thank you.

Target audience is USA, I think source doc is Spain,

yes,I can confirm that it is indeed "secondary to" or even "due to", but "secondary to" is more idiomatic
Chema Nieto Castañón Jun 20, 2023:
O "sin antecedentes".
Sin embargo, en el contexto dado el sentido más probable es el ya señalado por Casabuenas: "secundario a" (en relación a).

Hipodensidad frontal en relación/secundaria a evento isquémico agudo.
Cardiopatía en relación/secundaria a toxicidad por...

Good guess This seems probable, given the information that we have. In a different context, it would be "sin anomalías" (since Diana mentioned that the S could stand for "sin").
Hernan Casasbuenas Jun 20, 2023:
Secundario a Although without more context it is difficult to assure I would think it is "secondary to"

Both of the findings described are conditions that happened because something caused them. The hypodensity in a CAT scan occurs when something injured the tissue. In this case an ischemic event.
The second finding, the cardiopathy is a condition that can be caused by toxicity, in this case to anthracycline.
These are two quotes from articles found in the internet, and are listed below.
"Cardiotoxicity is a feared side effect that may limit the clinical use of anthracyclines. It may indeed affect the quality of life and survival of patients with cancer, regardless of oncological prognosis. This paper provides an overview of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in terms of definition, classification, incidence, risk factors, possible mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment."

What are some examples of hypodensities on CT?
On a head CT, hypodensity will be seen as areas darker than the brain. The appearance of the dark area will help us narrow the possibilities. Some abnormalities such as strokes, edema or extra water in the brain, masses, air or fat abnormalities will be hypodense. The radiologist may describe the abnormality as hypodense but will also provide a diagnosis or some possibilities.
Note from asker:
I had to send the doc back before I got your answer, but I translated it as "following" with a note to the PM that I wasn't sure. So I think that was pretty close. Thanks again!
