When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Raccourci entre « glande » et « ganglion » Le vrai nom – Les ganglions lymphatiques, parfois appelés à tort « glandes » ou « glandes lymphatiques », ne sécrètent rien et ne sont donc pas des glandes.

The term "swollen glands" usually refers to enlarged lymph nodes. In fact, lymph nodes are not actually glands. They are small bundles of white blood cells that are present in multiple areas throughout our body.

One of the ways the body's immune system responds to infections and inflammation is to greatly increase the number of white cells in the lymph nodes causing them to swell. Most often swollen lymph nodes are caused by an infection or some other benign condition. Less commonly, lymph nodes enlarge related to cancer.

adénopathies

Terme plus médiacal...
L'adénopathie est le terme médical qui est couramment utilisé pour désigner le gonflement des ganglions lymphatiques. Avoir les ganglions gonflés est le signe d'une agression de l'organisme. Les adénopathies peuvent ainsi être perçues comme un signal d'alerte.

Certaines personnes utilisent le terme « glandes enflées » pour désigner des ganglions lymphatiques enflés, surtout quand il s’agit des ganglions du cou. Cependant, les ganglions lymphatiques ne sont pas des glandes.
