Dumping syndrome is a commonly recognized complication after gastric and oesophageal surgery. It is characterized by postprandial early gastrointestinal and vasomotor symptoms followed by late hypoglycaemia. Early dumping symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, flushing, tachycardia and hypotension. Late dumping symptoms which occur 1–3 h after food are thought to be due to...

Linehan IP, Russell RCG and Hobsley M (1988) The dumping syndrome after pancreatoduodenectomy. Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, 167:114-118 Some patients have postoperative nutritional problems after a pancreatoduodenectomy. These problems have been attributed without objective evidence to the partial gastrectomy that is performed at the time of the pancreatoduodenectomy. The dumping syndrome ...

The possible adverse health effects associated with the residence in the neighbourhood of toxic dump sites have been the object of many epidemiological studies in the last two decades;some of these reported increases of various health outcomes. The present study reports the cluster analysis of mortality and malformations at municipality level, standardized by socioeconomic deprivation index, in...

A field experiment in the waters off the south-eastern coast of Cyprus was carried out to study near-field formation of sediment plumes from dumping. Different loads of sediment were poured into calm and limpid waters one at the time from just above the sea surface. The associated plumes, gravitating towards the seafloor, were filmed simultaneously by four divers situated at different depths in...

Approximately 10%–50% of patients develop some manifestations of the dumping syndrome after gastric surgery. Among them, 5%–10% have clinically significant symptoms, and 1%–2% are debilitated by them. Early dumping, typically starting 10–30 minutes after a meal, usually involves both vasomotor and gastrointestinal complaints such as sweating, palpitation, weakness and faintness, abdominal bloat...

These sites put soil coastline, water quality, mangroves coral reefs, animals, food chains plankton, fishery at serious risk alter surrounding economic, social, cultural conditions. destruc...

A transport assessment of particle-bound and dissolved artificial radionuclides Cs and Pu by sea-ice and dense-water formed in western Kara Sea flaw leads close to the Novaya Zemlya dumping sites is presented in this study. We both performed a ‘‘best estimate’’ based on available data, and a ‘‘maximum assessment’’ relying on simulated constant 137 239,240 Ž . releases of 1 TBq Cs an...
