Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
et ce dans son ensemble
English translation:
with continuous involvement (of the mucosa)
French term
et ce dans son ensemble
Here is the context:
Rectoscopie: muqueuse pathologique dès la ligne pectinée franchie; et ce dans son ensemble. Trame vasculaire totalement effacée.
My attempt:
: diseased mucosa beginning immediately after the pectinate line; and then throughout [the rectum.]
I'm not sure, but it seems like they mean the area beyond the pectinate line (the whole rectum?) has diseased muscoa.
Does anyone read this differently? I would appreciate your thoughts and comments!

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.
