Evaluation of new diagnostic and treatment strategies in the management of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
No full textIncludes bibliography.Despite major advances over the last two decades with the management of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), unanswered questions remain concerning the natural history of the disease, the impact of new diagnostics modalities on cure rates, and the role of surgery in the era of modem medical therapies. The aims of the thesis are to (i) analyse the database of 40 ZES patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) over two decades, with special reference to the impact of various surgical strategies on outcome, (ii) investigate a possible correlation between biological tissue marker expression and tumour behaviour, (iii) study the effect of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) on surgical cure rates, and (iv) assess the efficacy and safety of a new proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole) in controlling acid hypersecretion

Ellison\u27s Hemingway
No full textThe Selected Letters of Ralph Ellison, published in 2019, along with the essays in Shadow and Act (1964), reveal Ernest Hemingway to have been a major preoccupation for the author of Invisible Man. While Ellison did acknowledge that Hemingway once served as the true father-as-artist of so many of us who came to writing during the late thirties, Hemingway\u27s influence on Ellison was, however, neither simple nor direct. Instead, Hemingway allowed Ellison a way to think about questions of influence : about technique, about producing emotion, and, above all, about how an artist might grapple with America\u27s great moral theme
United States, Robert S. Platt and geographers mapping Ellison Bay
No full textDue to a malfunction inside Platt's camera, the majority of his first 8,000 images, dating from 1919 to 1933, have blurred areas where the unexposed film was not laying flat inside the camera. His 35mm photography after 1933 does not show this defect, but the condition of the film is rather poor, having been housed between loose sheets of paper in cardboard boxes for over 50 years. The majority of images he took from 1933-1963 are severely scratched. Therefore, only a small portion of Platt's photography has been chosen for online presentation.7/29 1st mapping, Ellison Bay, by Bobby.
