This study investigates the relationship between online travel sites' affordances (OTSA), technology readiness (TR), and their impact on tourists' online purchase intentions (OPI), as well as the moderating role of trust on OPI and e-loyalty. The survey was conducted online from September 2022 until November 2022 on 306 participants who were selected purposively. The collected data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Analysis (PLS-SEM). The findings indicated that OTSA has a greater influence on OPI in comparison to TR. Specifically, OTSA's level of interactivity and stickiness had a noteworthy impact on OPI, while only the innovativeness of TR had a positive effect on OPI. The results of the moderating role of trust indicated that OPI negatively affects e-loyalty in the presence of trust. The research conducted in this study has yielded valuable insights that hold theoretical and practical significance, particularly for local governments and tourism agencies operating in the realm of online travel sites. A key finding of the study emphasizes the importance of improving technology adoption and user experience to facilitate greater comfort and confidence among tourists in using these platforms. Establishing trust between tourists and online travel sites emerges as a critical factor in shaping the success of the tourism industry. By prioritizing trust and transparency, tourism agencies and online travel sites can forge robust relationships with their customers and promote the growth of the tourism industry toward digitalization.

Background: Reports on the durability of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) prostheses are scarce and confounded by varying definitions and competing risks of death.
Objectives: The authors sought to determine the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of hemodynamic valve deterioration (HVD) according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 definition after TAVR.
Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients undergoing TAVR in the prospective Bern TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry between August 2007 and June 2022 for the incidence and predictors of HVD and performed case control-matching to compare outcomes according to HVD.
Experiences of Oral Corticosteroid Use and Adverse Effects: A National Cross-Sectional Survey of People with Asthma.
Patient Prefer Adherence
January 2025
Respiratory Research@Alfred, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Purpose: Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are an effective treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma or asthma exacerbations, but frequent bursts or long-term use carry serious and sometimes irreversible adverse effects, or complications such as adrenal insufficiency upon discontinuation. Our aim was to survey people with asthma on their experiences of, and attitudes towards, using OCS.
Patients And Methods: This study was a national descriptive cross-sectional survey of people with asthma in Australia.

Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Position Statement on the Use of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the Management of Aortic Stenosis.
JACC Asia
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, National Heart Centre Singapore, Singapore.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been established as an effective treatment modality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and the uptake of TAVI is rapidly growing in the Asia-Pacific region. However, there exist a heterogeneity in the management of aortic stenosis and the use of TAVI among countries in the region. Reasons for these differences include anatomic variations, disparity in healthcare resources and infrastructure, and the lack of consensus on the optimal management of AS in the Asia-Pacific region.
