Summary/Abstract: Medical texts are not homogeneous. The degree of their diversity is different. There are various texts which are addressed to more or less educated readers. Many terms, such as those cited in the article, may simplify the process of translation. The same Italian suffixes and prefixes have different equivalents in Polish. The analysis concerns the phenomenon of effect described by some morphemes. They indicate some problems, similarities, quantity and inflammatory factors.
