During the 3rd International Congress on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
(Paris 1991) a complete symposium was devoted to chemically induced
nausea and vomiting and to the value of Ondansetron. This book
comprises original articles dealing with the different topics
discussed during this session. It provides fuller information on
current practice in anti-emetic treatment during anti-cancerous
chemotherapy and sets out the position of a new and important drug,
ondansetron, in this pathology. Different international clinical
studies made with ondansetron in various types of patients are
analysed: specific studies in hematology or in pulmonary disease,
evaluation against benzamide-corticoid as a combined reference
standard, or further the additive effect of a corticoid combined
with ondansetron. One article is devoted to the use of the drug in
children. Finally, recent programmes dealing with both the
intravenous and the oral use of ondansetron are assessed. The last
article deals with the economic evaluation of the use of
ondansetron. Thus the reader will findhere a recent and uo-to-date
review of the results and possible uses of ondansetron, now the
premier member of the class of 5 HT 3 antagonists, in chemically
induced nausea and vomiting.
Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Debut Fiction! Finalist
for the Publishing Triangle Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction!
Recalling both the excess of The Wolf of Wall Street, and the
drifting narrator of A Single Man, Ioannis Pappos's debut novel is
a portrait of privilege, aspiration, and international finance
during the wayward course of the American economy between 9/11 and
the 2008 Financial collapse, and is filled with surprisingly tender
observations about identity, loneliness, and human connection. "I'm
homeless, but in First Class." Stathis Rakis abandoned his small
Greek village for a more worldly life, first in San Francisco,
where the Dot Com Bubble had already burst, and then in Paris,
France, where he is pursuing an MBA at an elite business school.
After falling helplessly in love with a liberal New England
journalist with a good conscience, who comes to campus with some
scores to settle, Stathis moves to the United States to begin as a
consultant for a company called Command. He spends the very few
hours of the day that aren't consumed by work draining the minibar,
battling insomnia, and binging on more than room service. Luxury is
a given, happiness is not. As the economy recovers and a new bubble
expands in a post-9/11 world, Stathis drifts upward, baring witness
to the criminal decadence that will become the 2008 financial
crisis, as well as his new habits of indulgence-drugs, sex, and
insider trading. In a world of insiders--from corporate suits to
Hollywood celebutantes-Stathis remains the outsider: too foreign to
be one of them, too cynical to turn back.
