TRANSLATE THE TEXT:

Blood pressure readings are taken to learn the force with which is pressing on artery walls. The
heart exerts the highest pressure (systole phase) when it is pumping a fresh supply of blood, and
the lowest pressure (diastole phase) when it pauses between beats to fill with blood. When
readings are repeatedly above 150 systolic and 100 diastolic, they indicate that the blood
circulation of the patient is impaired, and he is said to have high blood pressure, or hypertension.
Factors within the blood vessels, such as the elasticity and resistance of the circulatory system,
play a major role. The amount of blood within the circulatory system, the thickness of that blood,
and the amount of blood put out by the heart with each beat are other considerations.
Known causes of high blood pressure include anaemia, hyperthyroid disease, chronic kidney
diseases, certain endocrine disorders, brain tumors and congenital defects in the aorta. However, in
most patients suffering from high blood pressure, the cause is unknown.
Elevated or high blood pressure itself rarely produces any significant symptoms. There can be
complaints of dull, pounding headaches over the back of the head, which start in the morning and
wear off during the day. There can be nervousness, dizziness, palpitations and weakness.
Nosebleed is sometimes a symptom.
With kidney disease there may be blood in the urine. When hypertensive heart disease develops,
heart failure and its symptoms can follow. On rare occasions, hypertension will develop rapidly
and progressively with acute attacks marked by headaches, visual disturbances, vomiting, coma
and convulsions.

TRANSLATE THE TEXT:

The word health signifies wholeness or haleness. The concept of health which has become
current in recent times is far too narrow. With the progress of the medical art disease has assumed
increasing importance in human thought. By disease we have commonly meant the existence of
one or the other of those recognizable syndromes, or collections, of unpleasant symptoms to
which, by reason of their recurrent similarity, we have applied specific names. Health has come to
mean, in common talk, an absence of each and all of these several forms of disorder. This negative
attitude to health is numbing to vitality. The conception is a passive one; the reality is an active
one. The truly healthy man is courageous. He looks forward, not timorously behind him; he is
resilient, not static; he is enthusiastic, not merely enduring; his body and mind are one,
collaborators in an enterprise pleasurably exciting.
This general picture of health and of the healthy man does not imply the non-existence of specific
dangers and specific enemies, calling for methods of defence and resistance equally specific. To
some extent man, in common with other animals, is equipped with protective weapons, operative
without the intervention of his intellect and his conscious will. But, unlike the rest of the animal
creation, we have the strange power of contemplating and analyzing the circumstances that environ
us, and of devising means differing from a thing naturally existing. Man has invented houses and
clothing and fires; he has invented cooking; he has created instruments enabling him to see the
hitherto unseen
