Dear Andrew,
Greetings from Al-Ain. I tried the WWW to see whether it could help in
translating the abstract you posted. You did not mention the language of the
abstract. I looked up on the web and found that it will be useful to know
Spanish if you are a tourist in Chile and assumed that the abstract is in
Spanish (apologies if I am wrong). I also found many journals from Chile in
Spanish at the free medical journals web site.

I tried this on line Spanish-English tranlator and the computer produced
this English abstract. Although it does not make much sense I thought you
could use this as a starting point.

Author: Pizarro Martínez, Ismael; Aburto T., Isabel; Grapevine G., Juan To;
Bianchi Schast, Víctor; Ibáñez Castro, Fernando; Rooms Flowers, Sergio; Cam
L., Alfredo; Villegas B., Elvira. Title: venous Sores of the legs: in search
of the best treatment / Venous leg ulcers: searching of the best treatment

Tab, graf Abstract: The aim(lens) of this work was to evaluate the
efficiency of a treatment with pentoxifilina and not traditional
treatment(healing) in the venous sores in our way. A market study was
designed, randomizado, of parallel groups, double I block up and control
placebo. 49 patients were studied of under socioeconomic level, ulcerados
venous, without another pathology. Method: They were distributed in 3 groups
of 12 and 1 of 13 patients, who received placebo and traditional
treatment(healing) (g.1a), placebo and not traditional treatment(healing)
(g.2b), pentoxifilina and traditional treatment(healing) (g.3c) and
pentoxifilina and not traditional treatment(healing) (g.4d). One concludes
that the cicatrización of the venous sores improves significantly with a
joint treatment of pentoxifilina and treatments(healings) with dressings
bioactivos and interactive, adding the elastic compression and the possible
rest in a population of under socioeconomic level. In this work, one could
not determine the relative importance of the pentoxifilina and the not
traditional treatment(healing) (AU).
Good luck in your effotrs to get an authentic translation from Spanish (if
my language assumption is correct!) colleagues from our list serve.
Cheers & regards,
Badrinath
