Epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that environmental and dietary factors are probably important determinants of colorectal cancer (CRC). Among dietary factors alcohol intake has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of CRC (1). A large number of epidemiologic studies have examined the possible association of beer and ethanol ingestion on CRC risk. As a result, some ...

In a recent paper we have shown that most non-expansive Lipschitz functions (in the sense of Baire’s category) have a maximal Clarke subdifferential. In the present paper, we show that in a separable Banach space the set of non-expansive Lipschitz functions with a maximal Clarke subdifferential is not only of generic, but also staunch. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 49J52.

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) make up the so-called chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Advances in the understanding of IBD pathophysiologic mechanisms in the last few years have allowed the development of novel therapies such as biologic therapies, which at least theoretically represent a more specific management of this disease with fewer side effects. Currently, the...
