BACKGROUND Lesser omental transection during gastric bypass for morbid obesity may be associated with postoperative dumping. A survey of postoperative symptoms was performed in patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with transection vs. preservation of the lesser omentum. METHODS A written questionnaire on dumping symptoms was administered to patients 2 years after laparosc...

to describe the postprandial symptom-complex seen in patients after gastric surgery. The symptoms are of gastro-intestinal and vasomotor origin with variable predominance. They develop within 30 minutes of eating and are particularly severe after the ingestion of carbohydrates. Therapy has largely been limited to dietary and fluid restrictions and postprandial recumbency. The reported incidence...

In this paper we examine an alternative policy scenario, where governments allow polluting …rms to trade permits in a strategic environmental policy model. We demonstrate, among other things, that with no market power in the permits market, governments of the exporting …rms do not have an incentive to under-regulate pollution in order to become more competitive. This strategic e¤ect is reversed...

This study explores whether information disclosure can cause cooperation in a social dilemma, even when people can disseminate false information. In the past, illegal dumping increased in Japan despite the strengthening of penalties and surveillance laws, due to practical limitations in monitoring and surveillance. To resolve this, the tracking sheet used to trace the trading and processing of ...

At a late stage in Drosophila oogenesis, nurse cells rapidly expel their cytoplasm into the oocyte via intracellular bridges by a process called nurse cell dumping. Before dumping, numerous cables composed of actin filaments appear in the cytoplasm and extend inward from the plasma membrane toward the nucleus. This actin cage prevents the nucleus, which becomes highly lobed, from physically blo...
