Aha! Thanks Kate. I hadn't seen your other entries, since I have only just come on line after a few hours off (altho' the moral of the story would be "always give context"...).

And this context was NOT what I was expecting, so I was heading in the wrong direction. Seems to confirm that the rest of my colleagues are on the right track!
Kate White (asker) Apr 4, 2011:
It is the title of a university undergraduate thesis as part of the CV of the Head of an Assisted Reproduction Unit. Sorry, of course this would have helped - I have sent quite a few posts on the same topic i.e. translation of CVs of people in this field, so I guess I just forgot to give the actual context - sorry. Apart from that, I have no context about the actual thesis and what it contains/is about.
Noni Gilbert Riley Apr 4, 2011:
OK, so you've been given a project which ... ....consists of just these 7 words.

Sorry Kate, but "that's all the context" is like a red rag to a bull as far as I'm concerned!

A couple of questions:
Is there any mention (in the supposedly non-existent rest of your text) of frequency of incidence of certain conditions?
Is this frequency compared to other frequencies, or anything along those lines?
If it's a website, what is the title of the page we're on? Or the tab?
Is there any heading to any part of the page you're on?

Of course, if it's a string, then we may have to search hard for context, but looking closely, we may find some.

;-)

You're welcome!
Kate White (asker) Apr 4, 2011:
thats all the context I've got. Thanks!

It will depend on the context. These are some suggestions.

in our environment

I would need some more context to be 100% sure, but "en nuestro medio" is often used to refer to the social/demographic/geographic environment in which the doctors or researchers work.

You can see a similar KudoZ thread here:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/other/1009399-m...

It is the same expression in a different context.
