darrera presa
Catalan to English
Medical
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
This little expression appears in a list of medications:
Amoxicilina+Clavulanico
Atorvastatina
Citalopram
Diltiazem
etc. ... many more listed.
This is a list of medications only; there is no explanation or even a title on the page, and I don't know the purpose of this list. It's probably related to a clinical trial of a medication.
Each entry actually looks like this:
FUROSEMIDA. Primera presa: 10/10/09. Darrera presa: 15/10/09.
INSULINA RAPIDA. Primera presa: [date]. Darrera presa: [date].
etc.
The person who gave me this assignment thought that the source text is in Spanish (with which I have a lot of experience) but when I look up the word 'darrera' I find it's Catalan (which I don't know at all).
I've looked up 'darrera' in an online Catalan dictionary; it tells me that 'darrera' means 'last' (maybe 'latest'?).
How do I translate this little phrase 'darrera presa' in this context? I'm thinking it's 'last sample' maybe? (I think 'presa' may be related to the Spanish 'prender' - to take something ... is that right?)
Gràcies!

En efecto, "última presa" es "última toma" en español.

previous/most recent/latest sample
There's an element of guesswork here but 'una presa' is 'una toma' in Spanish.
Given that you have 'primera presa' - most recent/latest is what makes most sense to me.
'previous' would work, if there were a section for 'presa final'

I've just seen the other post - dose would be a good alternative to sample, if we're talking about medicating the patient.
From the context, I had imagined they were the results of a series of tests.

last dose/dosing
Given that the original text only says "darrera presa", I wouldn't add more information in your translation and stick to "last dose/dosing".

| Hola Montse and thanks again for your information! Your answer is correct, of course, but Andrés said it before you. And... I really don't speak any Catalan; I'm just good at researching languages online. Amb els millors desitjos :) |

Berni Armstrong
: Presuming they're talking about a course of treatment, I'd go for first dose, last dose.
