Dear Colleagues Welcome to the ACG 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the premier GI clinical event of the year. As we convene in San Antonio, I am very proud that this year’s program is packed with clinically relevant information provided in an atmosphere of that has been set up for optimal learning. I always look forward to connecting with friends and colleagues at ACG, and I hope you also find the spirit of collegiality and camaraderie a meaningful and invigorating part of your professional life. This year’s program promises to deliver an excellent opportunity to stay up-to-date in gastroenterology and hepatology, with a focus on topics of greatest importance to you as a clinical practitioner. I am grateful to the Postgraduate Course Directors and ACG’s Educational Affairs Committee, along with the Friday Course Directors, who have tapped the talents of renowned experts and rising stars in our field as speakers and planned outstanding programs. They worked to ensure that ACG 2019 is easy to navigate and highly relevant to your practice. 2019 again broke the record for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than 2,700 posters and oral presentations this year. Poster presentations open on Sunday beginning at 3:30 pm. Posters may be found in the Exhibit Hall. A popular activity for viewing posters is Poster Rounds with the Experts. Each day of the poster sessions, well-known experts will lead attendees around to posters of interest. This is a great opportunity to discuss posters, garner insight from the experts, and make new contacts with other attendees in a low-key, relaxed environment. Poster Rounds with the Experts run from Sunday through Tuesday. Learn about the latest tools available and techniques from leading experts, when you visit the ACG Hands-On Workshop Center to participate in one of the many sessions offered free to all ACG 2019 attendees. You can pre-register for these sessions at the special Hands-On Registration desk in the ACG 2019 registration area and in the Exhibit Hall. Hands-On sessions are offered Sunday through Tuesday.

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • See the Scientific Petition
    May 20, 2016 Implement the Endangered Species Act Using the Best Available Science To: Secretary Sally Jewell and Secretary Penny Prtizker We, the under-signed scientists, recommend the U.S. government place species conservation policy on firmer scientific footing by following the procedure described below for using the best available science. A recent survey finds that substantial numbers of scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that political influence at their agency is too high.i Further, recent species listing and delisting decisions appear misaligned with scientific understanding.ii,iii,iv,v,vi For example, in its nationwide delisting decision for gray wolves in 2013, the FWS internal review failed the best science test when reviewed by an independent peer-review panel.vii Just last year, a FWS decision not to list the wolverine ran counter to the opinions of agency and external scientists.viii We ask that the Departments of the Interior and Commerce make determinations under the Endangered Species Actix only after they make public the independent recommendations from the scientific community, based on the best available science. The best available science comes from independent scientists with relevant expertise who are able to evaluate and synthesize the available science, and adhere to standards of peer-review and full conflict-of-interest disclosure. We ask that agency scientific recommendations be developed with external review by independent scientific experts. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen; however, of greatest importance is that an independent, external, and transparent science-based process is applied consistently to both listing and delisting decisions.

ENGLEBERT DUNmHY, M.D.* THE successful transplantation of a heart from one human being to another, by Dr. Christian Barnard of South Africa, hias occasioned an intense renewal of public interest in organ transplantation. The back- ground of transplantation, and its present status, with a note on certain ethical aspects are reviewed here with the interest of the lay reader in mind. History of Transplants Transplantation of tissues was performed over 5000 years ago. Both the Egyptians and Hindus transplanted skin to replace noses destroyed by syphilis. Between 53 B.C. and 210 A.D., both Celsus and Galen carried out successful transplantation of tissues from one part of the body to another. While reports of transplantation of tissues from one person to another were also recorded, accurate documentation of success was not established. John Hunter, the father of scientific surgery, practiced transplan- tation experimentally and clinically in the 1760's. Hunter, assisted by a dentist, transplanted teeth for distinguished ladies, usually taking them from their unfortunate maidservants.

    International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems ISFF The Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems (2nd ISFF) Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Harvesting in the Arab Region 25-27 October 2016 Technische Universität Berlin, Campus El Gouna El Gouna, Egypt Supported by: Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) Disaster Prevention Research Institute Kyoto University International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems ISFF The Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems (2nd ISFF) In recent years, flash floods in Wadi Systems have caused severe damages, especially in the Arab regions. Human life, infrastructure such as roads and buildings as well as the environment are endangered and have been heavily destroyed. Flash floods are caused by extreme weather conditions, their occurrence is highly random and the associated problems are expected to increase in the near future due to climate change. On the one hand, there is an urgent need for flash flood protection and risk reduction, on the other hand, this rainwater can also be considered as a new resource for water harvesting. Finding solutions to these challenging problems requires close collaboration between scientists – established as well as young ones, - practitioners, and stakeholders from federal and public organizations. So we encourage you to contribute to the development of future solutions and to widen your own expertise and profile by attending the international symposium. This event is the second in a new series of annual International Symposia on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems. Furthermore this symposium is supported by the Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) and the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GARDI) of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Japan, Deutsches Wissenschaftszentrum Kairo (DWZ) and UNESCO Office Cairo.

  • Medical Geography in Egypt: As an Interdisciplinary Subfield
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 3 (5) August 2013 Medical Geography in Egypt: As an Interdisciplinary Subfield Mohamed Nour Eldin Ibrahim Elsabawy Professor of Medical Geography Faculty of Arts, Minia University, Minia ,Egypt. Doi:10.5901/jesr.2013.v3n5p109 1. Introduction Medical geography studies geographical factors concerned with cause and effect of health and disease. So its task not to study diseases only, but places affected with such maladies, and not studies health only but Areal differentiations in health Care patterns. This paper aims to study the importance of medical geography as an interdisciplinary sub- discipline or subfield in Human and Social geography and attempt to follow up, analyze and classify studies of Medical geography in Egypt, since the existence of that branch in the beginning of 1980s to 2010, to observe the development of these studies. This development undoubtedly is necessary because the concept, terrain, and the range of this subfield were not understandable in the beginning of studies. So, many researchers preferred choosing general topics in the first time. Gradually, they have been concentrating, deliberating on subjects related to some diseases which correlate to Egyptian geographical environment. Explicitly, we can decide that the studies of medical geography in Egypt seem to be more general and more comprehensive especially in the period from 1986 until 1996. Thereafter till 2010, studies have dealt with specific topics and new methods and materials of Medical Geography. Medical Geography as a subfield depending upon many systems, polices and Sciences e.g. medicine, engineering, soil, Geology, Biology, Economy, Politics, History, and psychology.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.
