Open landfill dumping areas for municipal wastes in Asian developing countries have recently received particular attention with regard to environmental pollution problems. Because of the uncontrolled burning of solid wastes, elevated contamination by various toxic chemicals including dioxins and related compounds in these dumping sites has been anticipated. In this study, concentrations of poly...

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 ...

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...

FOR most of its 100 years of existence, anti-dumping (AD) was not nearly the problem that it is today. In fact, for most of its existence it is fair to say that AD could hardly have been called a problem for the international trading community. Over its first 70 years, AD was neither widely adopted nor were AD duties widely imposed by the handful of countries who were AD users. Over the last 30...

Males of many animals perform 'copulatory courtship' during copulation, but the possible reproductive significance of this behaviour has seldom been investigated. In some animals, including the spider Physocyclus globosus (Pholcidae), the female discards sperm during or immediately following some copulations. In this study, we determined which of several variables associated with copulation cor...

Introduction The dumping syndrome is frequent in bariatric surgery. It is probably the most common syndrome following partial or complete gastrectomy. Its prevalence in partial gastrectomy can reach up to 50%, thus it can be a significant complication arising from some types of bariatric surgeries. Objective: Critical analysis on dumping syndrome, its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment...
