Decompensation of epilepsy in burned patients may be caused by several factors. Burn is a classic etiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and evolves into two physiological phases. The first 48h after injury corresponds to the first phase involving severe hypovolemic shock. The second phase corresponds to the hypermetabolic response to burns. Altered pharmacokinetics of anticonvulsant drugs is observed. Albumin and other plasma proteins are reduced, leading to increased free fraction of phenytoin, resulting in greater clearance and a lower total drug concentration. Associated with metabolic changes of burned patient, this fact predisposes to seizures in epileptic burned patients. The authors present the case of an epileptic 36-year-old-woman who developed recurrent seizures after a thermal injury, despite using the same medications and doses of anticonvulsant drugs of last 12 years, with controlled epilepsy.

This paper was written under the umbrella of Translation Studies in general and of fan translation and game translation in particular. Through the analysis of the translation into Brazilian Portguese made by fans of the game Chrono Trigger it was possible to show how fans may get results similar to those achieved by localization professionals. In order to define the object of our analysis we prioritized a cultural approach to translation following authors such as Nord (1994), Newmark (1998), Vermeer (1987) and Fish (1980). We have also used the concept of “transcreation” as employed by Mangiron and O’Hagan (2006). The selection of cultural terms from the game – despite it being a fictional universe – allowed for the investigation of aspects of those translations that highlight the clash of two or more different cultures. With that in mind, an adaptation of Venuti’s translation proposal (1995) on how to translate cultural marked texts was used, along with the translation techniques suggested by Molina and Hurtado (2002). The names of the characters in Chrono Trigger were then analyzed in the translation of two groups of fans: CBT and Ips Center.
