  MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Distal median nerve dysfunction
Distal median nerve dysfunction is a form of peripheral neuropathy (nerve dysfunction outside the central nervous system) affecting movement of or sensation in the hand, caused by damage to the distal median nerve.
Dysfunction of a single nerve group, such as the distal median nerve, is classed as mononeuropathy.
Distal median nerve dysfunction occurs when the nerve is injured by trauma, entrapment, or inflammation.

 Gastric Bypass: Encyclopedia of Surgery
The two parts of the stomach are thus completely separated and are closed by stapling and sewing to eliminate the possibility of leaks.
Scar tissue eventually forms at the stapled and sewn area so that the pouch and stomach are permanently separated and sealed.
Finally, the surgeon reconnects the first part of the jejunum and the duodenum containing the juices from the stomach, pancreas, and liver (the biliopancreatic limb) to the segment of small bowel that was connected to the gastric pouch (the Roux limb).

 ►Calcium Facts - Learn the Truth
The amount of calcium one consumes may be a risk factor as to whether or not they will develop colon cancer.
In one study, Wu and other authors explained that more calcium generally equals a lower risk of “distal” colon cancer; however, they also explained how there seems to be a point of calcium consumption when consuming more calcium than necessary may not reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.
Wu and the other authors also warranted that “future investigations on this association should concentrate on specific cancer subsites and on the dose-response relationship” (23).
