Antacids in the treatment of acute alcohol-induced pancreatitis.
Antacids were given to a group of 18 patients who had acute alcoholic pancreatitis and the results were compared with those in a similar group of 15 patients who did not receive antacid therapy. There was no statistical difference in the course of the illness between the two groups as regards duration of abdominal pain, epigastric tenderness, hospital stay or time taken for the patient to resume a normal diet.

Cancer of the colon and rectum in the coloured population of Johannesburg. Relationship to diet and bowel habits.
In the Coloured population of Johannesburg, the incidence of carcinoma of the colon and rectum estimated over an 11-year period (1970-1980) is 1,33 and 1,08/100 000 respectively per year. This is lower than the incidence reported in Whites and appears to be even lower than that reported in South African and Zimbabwean Blacks. A survey of dietary factors in this population showed a diet which was high in protein, low in fats and high in bulk. The frequency of bowel action was higher than in both Whites and Blacks. These factors support Burkitt's hypothesis which states that races with a high-bulk diet have a lower incidence of large-bowel cancer.
