Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Heel pressure ulcers
Good afternoon!

I am still translating a study on the performance of two different dressings in the treatment of heel pressure ulcers and have reached the section on results.

Resultados

Los valores observados tras repetir el experimento cien veces presentan una distribución normal, por lo que se presentan en media ± desviación estándar y en valores de cuartiles.

En la tabla 1 se presentan los valores absolutes de fuerza al aplicar cien veces una pesa de 1.004 g encima del apósito, en la tabla 2 se muestran los valores porcentuales de reducción de fuerza en relación con los valores sin apósito.

Thank you for any help here!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
