English to Albanian: Military - WMD
Source text - English Hydrogen cyanide, referred to as a blood agent, is an example of a toxic industrial chemical that has been used in the past for military applications. When absorbed into the body, hydrogen cyanide prevents the normal transfer of oxygen to the cells causing rapid damage to body tissue. High concentrations (usually encountered in enclosed spaces) can cause rapid death and the chemical can also be absorbed through the skin.
Translation - Albanian Cianuri i hidrogjenit, i njohur si agjent gjaku, është një shembull i lëndëve kimike toksike industriale që janë përdorur në të kaluarën për qëllime ushtarake. Mbasi të jetë thithur në trup, cianuri i hidrogjenit parandalon transferimin normal të oksigjenit në qeliza, që shkakton dëmtim të shpejtë të indit. Përqendrimet e larta (zakonisht ndeshen në vende të mbyllura) mund të shkaktojnë vdekje të shpejtë dhe lënda kimike gjithashtu mund të thithet nëpërmjet lëkurës.

Source text - English CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. This results in numbness, tingling and pain in the middle and index fingers and thumb.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has various causes:
Wear and tear - due to the normal aging process or from repetitive motion such as typing, needlework or assembly line work.
Trauma to the wrist - due to previous fractures, falls, or other injuries resulting in narrowing of the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
Fluid retention - due to hormonal changes as seen in pregnancy causing increased swelling in the carpal tunnel.
Translation - Albanian SINDROMA E TUNELIT KARPAL
Sindroma e tunelit karpal shkaktohet nga presioni në nervin e mesit në kyçin e dorës. Kjo rezulton në mpirje, therje dhe dhimbje në gishtin e mesit, atë tregues dhe në gishtin e madh të dorës.
Sindroma e tunelit karpal shkaktohet nga shkaqe të ndryshme:
Amortizimi normal – si pasojë e procesit normal të plakjes ose nga veprime të përsëritshme, të tilla si daktilografimi, puna me gjilpërë ose puna në montim.
Trauma e kyçit të dorës – si pasojë e frakturave të mëparshme, rënieve ose lëndimeve të tjera që rezultojnë në ngushtimin e tunelit karpal të kyçit të dorës.
Frenimi i lëngjeve – si pasojë e ndryshimit të hormoneve zakonisht gjatë shtatzënisë, duke shkaktuar ënjtje të theksuar në tunelin karpal.
