“…Suppose that E has a local unconditional structure. This is equivalent to the existence of a Banach lattice F into which E * * embeds as a complemented subspace [53,Theorem 2.1]. Since E * is complemented in E * * * , it is also complemented in the dual Banach lattice F * .…”

In 1973, Diestel published his seminal paper Grothendieck spaces and vector measures that drew a connection between Grothendieck spaces (Banach spaces for which weak-and weak*-sequential convergences in the dual space coincide) and vector measures. This connection was developed further in his book with J. Uhl Jr. Vector measures. Additionally, Diestel's paper included a section with several open problems about the structural properties of Grothendieck spaces, and only half of them have been solved to this day.The present paper aims at synthetically presenting the state of the art at subjectively selected corners of the theory of Banach spaces with the Grothendieck property, describing the main examples of spaces with this property, recording the solutions to Diestel's problems, providing generalisations/extensions or new proofs of various results concerning Grothendieck spaces, and adding to the list further problems that we believe are of relevance and may reinvigorate a better-structured development of the theory.

“…As illustrated in this case report a significant number of patients have a history of recurrent episodes of pain and abdominal distension, relieved by a bowel motion. These probably represent attacks of volvulus followed by spontaneous reduction before the episode eventually resulting in surgery (Martin and Ward, 1944;Figiel and Figiel, 1954;McGowan, Soriano and McCausland, 1957;Kerry and Ransom, 1969). The 4 most common physical signs in all cases of volvulus are abdominal distension, a visible or palpable abdominal mass, shock and pyrexia (Kerry and Ransom, 1969).…”

“…The diagnosis of this uncommon condition depends upon radiological investigation (Figiel and Figiel, 1954;Boley, 1958;Kerry and Ransom, 1969). Typical findings on plain films include massive dilatation of the colon and with loops having the appearance of a 'bent inner tube'.…”

“…There may be redundancy or malposition apparent on the films, and a double air-fluid level due to 'closed loop obstruction' as is also characteristic of volvulus of the sigmoid colon (Kerry and Ranson, 1969). Some authors (Boley, 1958) emphasize the value of a preoperative barium enema and indeed in several cases (Figiel and Figiel, 1954) the volvulus was reduced with the barium enema examination. Findings on the barium enema include: funnel-shaped obstruction in the proximal half of the transverse colon, or a round termination of the barium column with a dentate margin at the site of obstruction in the distal transverse colon.…”
