TL;DR: Higher levels of perceived social presence are shown to positively impact the perceived usefulness, trust and enjoyment of shopping websites, leading to more favourable consumer attitudes.
Abstract: Electronic commerce typically lacks human warmth and sociability, since it is more impersonal, anonymous and automated than traditional face-to-face commerce. This paper explores how human warmth and sociability can be integrated through the web interface to positively impact consumer attitudes towards online shopping. An empirical study was undertaken to investigate the impact of various levels of socially rich text and picture design elements on the perception of online social presence and its subsequent effect on antecedents of attitudes towards websites. Higher levels of perceived social presence are shown to positively impact the perceived usefulness, trust and enjoyment of shopping websites, leading to more favourable consumer attitudes. Implications of these finding for practitioners and future research are outlined.

TL;DR: There is no consensus on the appropriate perioperative management of anticoagulation for patients who have been receiving long-term warfarin therapy, and rational decisions about the treatment of such patients are questionable.
Abstract: The most common indications for warfarin therapy are atrial fibrillation, the presence of a mechanical heart valve, and venous thromboembolism.1,2 Treatment with warfarin presents a problem if patients with these indications need surgery, because the interruption of anticoagulant therapy increases the risk of thromboembolism. After warfarin therapy is discontinued, it takes several days for its antithrombotic effect to recede, and when it is resumed, several days are needed to reestablish therapeutic anticoagulation. There is no consensus on the appropriate perioperative management of anticoagulation for patients who have been receiving long-term warfarin therapy. Rational decisions about the treatment of such . . .
