Frequently Asked Questions: The Obesity Treatment Center at ...
When large amounts of high-calorie foods (especially those containing sugar) pass quickly from the stomach pouch into the intestine, fluid rushes into the small intestine to dilute the high concentration of sugar. The patient may feel faint, break out in a cold sweat, and have intestinal cramps followed by diarrhea. Fortunately, "dumping syndrome" can be averted simply by the patient avoiding high intakes of sweets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bariatric Surgery
Eating sugars or other foods containing many small particles when you have an empty stomach can cause dumping syndrome in patients who have had a gastric bypass or BPD where the stomach pylorus is removed. Your body handles these small particles by diluting them with water, which reduces blood volume and causes a shock-like state. Sugar may also induce insulin shock due to the altered physiology of your intestinal tract.

Do you see patients with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"?

General Infectious Diseases Clinic
No, we do not. In 1988, a definitive study by Straus, et al., in the News England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 319, No. 26, pages 1692-1698) showed no link between Epstein-Barr virus and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." To date, no infectious agent has been substantially shown to be the cause of "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." Hence, we do not follow patients with this disorder in our clinic.

What is DUMPING?

Frequently Asked Questions
Dumping is the word that describes the fact that liquids and sweets very rapidly empty out of the stomach into the jejunum through the small pouch. Sweets have a characteristic called "hyperosmolality" which means that it has a high concentration of particles in solution. One of the functions of a normal stomach is to act as a reservoir where food will be held until the concentration of particles is diluted to that of other body fluids.

What is "Superboy syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: Too many fans today consider themselves far too hip and a-go-go to ever go along with the most basic conceit of serial fiction: that the main characters will survive, but we will pretend, for the sake of this story, that that is not a given. When I was a lad, I worried every time Superman fell into a kryptonite death trap.

What is "Mickey Mouse syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: Characters "cleaning up their act" as they become more popular, as with Mickey Mouse no longer feeding cats' tails into sausage grinders, or Superman and Batman no longer killing the bad guys. (11/02/04)

What is "MAN OF STEEL syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: New writers and/or editors thinking being assigned to a title or character is a mandate to blow everything up and start from scratch. (Applied facetiously, since this is usually done without a fraction of the time spent working out what was done in MoS.) (11/02/04)

What is "Kandor syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: Adding unnecessary details which complicate a character's backstory. This comes, of course, from the bottled city of Kandor, which used to reside in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, making it necessary, every time Superman visited the Fortress, to spend a coupe of panels explaining what Kandor was.

What is "Red Sweater syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: Taking offense at something which should not be offensive to the person taking the offense. ("Anyone who wears a red sweater is an idiot." "Hey! I have never worn a red sweater in my life, and I resent being called an idiot!") (11/02/04) JB: Most complaints about violated continuity tend to come from people who don't really have a grasp on the continuity they claim is being violated. It's that whole "Since I Started Reading..." Syndrome about which I have made many previous comments.

What is "Expert syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
Once people start telling other people how to think, what to think, when to think, there will grow up among the "tellers" those who consider themselves to be "experts" on the subject -- and once that happens, it takes a particularly strong intellect to avoid the next step, when the expert's role ceases to be that of expanding human knowledge, and becomes, instead, all about protecting the area of his expertise. I have dubbed it "Expert Syndrome". (11/02/04)

What is "Taxpayer syndrome"?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: A lot of fans suffer from Taxpayer Syndrome. You know how that works -- people thus afflicted are the ones you hear telling cops they cannot give them a parking ticket because they (the taxpayer) "pay" the cops' salary. (11/02/04) JB: Editorial. It was realized that killing off such an important, cornerstone character was a mistake -- the same mistake DC had made a couple of decades earlier, when they killed off Alfred and then realized the Batbooks did not work properly without him.

WHAT IS THE "FALSE MEMORY SYNDROME"?

Hypnosis FAQ
The idea some people can be coaxed or fooled into "remembering" events that never happened has become the platform for some groups to diminish claims of childhood sexual abuse that surface sometimes during psychotherapy or hypnotherapy. It seems that the False Memory Syndrome Institute was created by parents facing charges of abuse by their adult offspring who had undergone therapy.

What is "Vinegar Syndrome", and how should I store my film?

Movies-2-DVD, FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions. Order, Genera...
Here is what we know and have read: the smell of "vinegar" from film is not good. The "Vinegar smell" is the result of chemical reactions that occur between water (moisture), cellulose, and acetic acid. When acetate based film begins to break down, or comes in contact with water, acetic acid is formed, and this is what causes the smell (not vinegar).

Is there really a "P.S. 118" somewhere?

Hey Arnold! - Frequently (and otherwise) Asked Questions
A quick search of the World Wide Web shows that there is a P.S. 118 in the New York City school system; it's located in Hollis, at the east end of Queens borough in New York. Does anybody else out there know if other cities have schools with "PS numbers", and if they do, do they go as high as 118? (Please note that the schools are not numbered based on their location, so, for example, P.S. 117 is not near P.S. 118.)

National Tariff Commissio
If a company exports a product at a price (export price) lower than the price it normally charges on its own home market (normal value), it is said to be 'dumping' the product. Dumping can harm the domestic industry by reducing its sales volume and market shares, as well as its sales prices. This in turn can result in decline in profitability, job losses and, in the worst case, in the domestic industry going out of business.
