Forty patients after vagotomy (truncal vagotomy 18, selective vagotomy 22) with a drainage procedure were given 200 ml of 50% dextrose by mouth (dumping provocation test), the symptoms induced being noted, and any fall in plasma volume was assessed by serial measurement of the haematocrit. An insulin gastric secretion test was also performed on each patient.TWENTY OF THE PATIENTS HAD DUMPING SY...

OBJECTIVE Acarbose is a glucosidase inhibitor that slows carbohydrate digestion. It could thus be effective to promote remission of dumping syndrome (DS). Previous studies associating acarbose and late dumping, although not early dumping, have been reported. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the role of acarbose in dumping syndrome prevention and treatment and in resistive exercises resistance in ba...

Apparent particle size grading is the most important characteristic of super-high dumping site. On the basis of the development of the HHC-CA model and on-site survey of granular size distribution, the slope model of current situation, had considered the features of particle size grading, was established according to a super-high dumping site. FLAC was used to analyze the slope stability of cur...

A clinical study was undertaken to determine the incidence of the dumping syndrome following partial gastrectomy and Roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy. Twenty-three patients were scored according to a clinical diagnostic index. There were no dumpers identified. A theoretical explanation for these findings is offered. A Roux-en-y conversion should be considered for patients with disabling dumping symp...
