Emetophobia studies in regard to emetophobia. Victims of the phobia usually experience fear before vomiting but feel less afterwards. The fear comes back, however, if the victim fears they will throw up again. Also noted in the emetophobia internet survey was information about medications. People were asked whether they would consider taking anxiety medication to potentially help their fear, and many in the study answered they wouldn't for fear that the drugs would make them nauseated. Others, however, stated that some psychotropic medications (such as benzodiazepines and antidepressants) did help with their phobia, and some said gastrointestinal medications were also beneficial.
Proof that e is irrational 1. For all terms with we have the upper estimate This inequality is strict for every "n" ≥ "b" + 2. Changing the index of summation to "k" = "n" – "b" and using the formula for the infinite geometric series, we obtain Since there is no integer strictly between 0 and 1, we have reached a contradiction, and so "e" must be irrational. Q.E.D. Another proof can be obtained from the previous one by noting that and this inequality is equivalent to the assertion that "bx" < 1. This is impossible, of course, since "b" and "x" are natural
