English to Malay: Excerpt from NIH General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Source text - English Peptides, as therapeutic agents, have several advantages in clinical applications due to their low toxicity and high specificity. Recently the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved several peptide drugs including Enfuvirtide that inhibits HIV entry into cells, Exenatide that stimulates insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes patients and several peptides for treatment of cancer. Despite these advantages, therapeutic peptides have several limitations. They are highly prone to proteolytic degradation during storage or when used for oral administration and require parenteral administration. In addition, these peptides need cold storage due to short shelf life after purification or chemical synthesis. Moreover, repeated injections are often needed but this decreases patient compliance.
Translation - Malay Peptida memiliki beberapa kelebihan dari segi klinikal sebagai agen terapeutik disebabkan oleh ketoksikannya yang rendah dan kekhususannya yang tinggi. Baru-baru ini, Pentadbiran Makanan dan Ubat-ubatan AS (FDA) telah meluluskan beberapa ubat peptida, termasuk Enfuvirtide yang menyekat kemasukan HIV ke dalam sel, Exenatide yang merangsang perembesan insulin oleh pesakit diabetes jenis 2 dan beberapa peptida untuk rawatan kanser. Walau bagaimanapun, peptida terapeutik mempunyai beberapa kekurangan. Peptida terdedah kepada risiko penguraian proteolitik semasa penyimpanan atau pemberian secara oral dan perlu diberikan melalui laluan parenteral. Selain itu, peptida perlu disimpan dalam persekitaran yang dingin kerana hayat simpannya yang singkat selepas proses penulenan atau sintesis kimia. Suntikan berulang juga sering diperlukan yang menjejaskan tahap pematuhan pesakit.

Bio
Hi, I’m Adibah, thanks for visiting my profile :)
If you are looking for a medical translator with more than 5 years of experience, you have come to the right place!
A little bit about myself: I have a background in medicine (MB BCh BAO, UCD Ireland), but translation is where my heart truly lies. In 2018, I traded my white coat privilege for the freedom of freelancing, and I've never looked back since :)
I specialize in the following areas:
- informed consent forms (ICFs)
- medical device instructions for use (IFUs)
- patient information leaflets (PILs)
- hospital/clinic websites
- health apps (user interface)
I am bound by NDAs, so I can't disclose the details of my end clients, but here's a summary of the work I've done so far:

LinkedIn reviews:
1) Adibah was meticulous and quick in preparing the translated drafts. To ensure the translation is accurate she took the time to ask relevant questions to better understand the context. All in all I'm very happy with the quality of her work.
2) It was a pleasure collaborating with Adibah. As medical texts can be intricate and nuanced, Adibah consistently demonstrated her dedication to delivering not only technically accurate translation, but also easily understandable to the target audience. She was willing to provide explanation and clarification on any challenging concepts, ensuring the utmost accuracy in final translated documents.
3) We had the privilege of collaborating with Adibah during a Medical Translation Workshop in March 2024. As Speequal is proactively seeking opportunities to engage with linguists to exchange expertise, best practices, and guidance with emerging professionals in the field, connecting with individuals actively involved in projects is vital to our success.
Our experience working with Ms. Adibah on this project was both enjoyable and productive. She demonstrated a high level of expertise in localizing medical content, delivering relevant knowledge and insights as well as inspiring newcomers to venture into industry with courage. Her delivered contents were well-received by both the workshop team and participants and we hope that we could have a chance to cooperate with her again in the future.
