    Notes: Abstract Background: 5-HT3 antagonists are effective inreducing the acute nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. However,it is not clear whether continuing these agents beyond twenty four hours isuseful in controlling emesis on days two to seven after chemotherapy. Patients and methods: Four hundred seven patients receivingmoderately emetogenic chemotherapy who had been given dexamethasone 8 mg i.v.and either ondansetron 32 mg i.v. or dolasetron 2.4 mg/kg i.v. were randomizedto continue either an oral form of their 5-HT3 antagonist(ondansetron 8 mg b.i.d. or dolasetron 200 mg daily) plus dexamethasone 8 mgp.o. daily or dexamethasone alone for days two to seven. Endpoints assessedby self-report were: 1) complete control (no vomiting, no rescue medications,no missing data) of emesis; 2) nausea severity; and 3) quality-of-life asmeasured by the EORTC QLQ-C30. Results: Continuation of 5-HT3 antagonists improvedslightly, but not significantly, the complete control rate (47% vs.41%; P = 0.24 one-sided) after chemotherapy. However, mean nauseaseverity was significantly (P = 0.015 one sided) reduced (by 3 mm on a10 cm scale) on the combined arm. Minimal differences in quality of life wereobserved. Conclusion: The benefit of continuing 5-HT3antagonists beyond 24 hours is modest and the merits of routine use in thesecircumstances debatable.

    Notes: A study on the clarification of baker's yeast suspension by Colloidal Gas Aphrons (CGA) employing a cationic surfactant, benzyl-dimethyl-hexadecyl-ammonium chloride, is presented. The variables investigated were the CGA flowrate, air flowrate and the yeast concentration. A separation efficiency as high as 95% was achieved at the optimum conditions of air flowrate and feed concentration. The mechanism of particle-bubble attachment was identified and a simple model for the monolayer adsorption of yeast cells on the bubble surface derived. © 1998 SCI
