Confrontation, cooperation, and perceived ideology: experimental research on voters’ perceived positions and political competition

Abstract Accurate perceptions of parties’ political positions are necessary for accountability and representation. Politicians signal their political positions to voters through policy messages; however, policy messages alone often do not work as intended. Furthermore, since poli...

Effects of the Institutional Volume of Endovascular Treatment for Lower Extremity Artery Disease on Radiation Exposure

Purpose: The procedure time of endovascular treatment (EVT) for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) may increase as its application expands to more complex lesions. Given this trend and the growing importance of radiation protection, this study investigated the association betw...

Effect modification by baseline lactate in the association between time to assigned mean arterial pressure target and outcomes in older patients with septic shock: a post hoc analysis of the OPTPRESS trial

Time to target mean arterial pressure (TTT-MAP) may capture the temporal dimension of circulatory recovery in septic shock; however, its prognostic relevance needs clarification. This study aimed to investigate the impact of baseline lactate on the TTT-MAP-clinical outcome associ...

Phage treatment reduces multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and sewage pseudomonads

Untreated wastewater can retain antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, yet phage performance is inferred from simplified host systems. We evaluated genome-resolved lytic phage ɸPRS-1 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in planktonic and single-strain biofilm assays, wastewater-derived...

Heterogeneity of effects of a mobile health disease management programme on glycaemic control

Background Whether mobile health (mHealth) interventions positively influence glycaemic control remains unclear. This study aimed to identify heterogeneity in the effects of mHealth-based disease management programmes on glycaemic control over a 1-year follow-up period within a t...
