English to Portuguese: Psychological Stress and the Human Immune System: A Meta-Analytic Study of 30 Years of Inquiry
Source text - English The present report meta-analyzes more than 300 empirical articles describing a relationship between psychological stress and parameters of the immune system in human participants. Acute stressors (lasting minutes) were associated with potentially adaptive upregulation of some parameters of natural immunity and downregulation of some functions of specific immunity. Brief naturalistic stressors (such as exams) tended to suppress cellular immunity while preserving humoral immunity. Chronic stressors were associated with suppression of both cellular and humoral measures. Effects of event sequences varied according to the kind of event (trauma vs. loss). Subjective reports of stress generally did not associate with immune change. In some cases, physical vulnerability as a function of age or disease also increased vulnerability to immune change during stressors.
Translation - Portuguese O presente relatório meta-analisa mais de 300 artigos empíricos descrevendo a relação entre o stress psicológico e os parâmetros do sistema imunitário em participantes humanos. Os stressores agudos (com a duração de minutos) foram associados a uma regulação positiva potencialmente adaptativa de alguns parâmetros de imunidade natural e a uma regulação negativa de algumas funções de imunidade específica. Os stressores breves e naturais (tal como os exames) tenderam a suprimir a imunidade celular, ao mesmo tempo preservando a imunidade humoral. Os stressores crónicos foram associados a uma supressão tanto de medidas celulares como humorais. Os efeitos das sequências de eventos variaram de acordo com o tipo de evento (trauma vs. perda). Em geral, não foram encontradas associações entre os relatórios subjectivos de stress e as alterações imunitárias. Em alguns casos, a vulnerabilidade física em função da idade ou de uma doença também fez aumentar a vulnerabilidade em relação às alterações imunitárias durante os stressores.

I believe in the power of a good translation for the success of a company or the credibillity of any institution or individual.
Therefore my work focuses on building perfect bridges between languages and cultures, on thourough terminological and cultural research, on the direct contact with specialists from different fields for double checking, on total commitment and compliance with deadlines.
As a good translator, which is to say, a good cultural mediator, I am interested in the accurate and ethical exchange of knowledge and in the successful communication between cultures for the benefit of all involved.
