Reactive hypoglycaemia is a rare disease which occurs postprandially in everyday life involving blood glucose levels below 2.5 to 2.8 mmol/l. We report on a 66-year-old patient who developed symptomatic reactive hypoglycaemia due to late dumping syndrome 10 years after oesophagectomy with cervical anastomosis. A 75 g sucrose load revealed a plasma glucose level of 9.4 mmol/l after one hour, fol...

in this study the effects of salinity on the electrocardiogram and some of blood serum minerals in grass carp were investigated. for this purpose, grass carp were exposed to concentrations of 4, 8 and 12 g l-1 salinities and electrocardiogram of all fish was recorded. blood samples were also collected from all fish and serum minerals were measured. our results indicated that mineral level in th...

Consider a large dam model, which is characterized by an upper level L and lower level L , and if in time t the level of water Lt is between these bounds, then the dam is said to be in a normal state. The value L = L L is assumed to be large. The passage of lower or upper bounds leads to damage, the cost per time unit of which is J1 = j1L and J2 = j2L correspondingly, where j1 and j2 are given ...
