Whereas scholars have identified individual antecedents of as an informal leader among one's peers, our research seeks to understand how established informal leaders their leadership status. Guided by principles from expectation states theory, we predict that being seen as an informal leader in a workgroup motivates other members to seek one out for work-related advice and, accordingly, facilitates the informal leader's engaging in upward voice directed toward the formal leader. Upward influence on behalf of the group may, in turn, reinforce leadership status among peers. Cross-lagged panel analysis of four-wave survey responses from 375 employees in 63 duty-free shops supported our hypotheses. Advice network centrality partially mediated the positive relationship between informal leadership and supervisor ratings of upward voice. The time-lagged effect of informal leadership on peer advice seeking was stronger among employees in a more central position of the friendship network. However, the theorized effect of upward voice on subsequent informal leadership received more limited support. Our research identifies a mechanism that stabilizes workgroup leadership structure.

Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.
Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.

Adequate secondary prevention in survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who also have atrial fibrillation (AF) is a long-standing clinical dilemma because these patients are at increased risk of recurrent ICH as well as of ischemic stroke. The efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulation, the standard preventive medication for ischemic stroke patients with AF, in ICH patients with AF are uncertain. PRESTIGE-AF is an international, phase 3b, multi-center, randomized, open, blinded end-point assessment (PROBE) clinical trial that compared the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with no DOAC (either no antithrombotic treatment or any antiplatelet drug).

Background: Globally, as of March 2024, the number of confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths were over 774 million and seven million, respectively. Since there are no proven treatment in place against the disease, controlling strategy mainly rely on preventive measures. However, data on the extent of implementing physical distancing and other preventive measures during the pandemic of COVID-19 were inadequate in the study setting.

Aim: To investigate predictors of nurses' reporting behaviours and their reasons for not formally reporting.
Background: Underreporting of workplace violence (WPV) among nurses contributes to gaps in WPV prevention measures, as it cannot be fully understood. WPV is classified according to its source (Type II: patients and visitors, Type III: coworkers) and forms (physical assault, threat of assault, emotional abuse, verbal sexual harassment and sexual assault).
