PurposeThis exploratory study aims to examine the prevalent triggers that motivate a premium brand purchase in an online vs offline retail format.Design/methodology/approachA binary logit analysis is used to build a predictive model to assess the likelihood of the premium brand consumer seeking an online or an offline platform. Demographic and usage-based profile of the two set of consumers is established through a chi-square analysis.FindingsThree hundred and forty six urban consumers of premium branded apparels residing in two Indian Metros were studied. A predictive model with 89.6% accuracy was validated for distinguishing premium brand buyers who shop at brick-and-mortar store or online platforms. Quality and finish were factors sought by the online buyer, whereas autotelic need, pleasurable shopping experience and social approval were important triggers for an in-store purchase.Research limitations/implicationsThe study posits divergent demographics and motivational drivers that led to an online vs offline purchase. Though interesting and directional, the study results need to be examined across geographies and categories for establishing the generalizability of the findings.Practical implicationsThe study findings indicate that premium brand manufacturers can devise an omni-channel strategy that is largely tilted toward the online platform, as the quality conscious and brand aware consumer is confident and thus open to an online purchase. The implication for the physical outlet on the other hand is to ensure exclusive store atmospherics and knowledgeable but non-intrusive sales personnel.Originality/valueThe study is unique as it successfully builds a predictive model to forecast online vs offline purchase decisions among urban millennials.

Ludwig's Angina

Introdução: Angina de Ludwig (AL) é uma infecção da cabeça e pescoço, potencialmente fatal, que acomete os espaços fáscias submandibulares, sublinguais e submentoniano. A diabetes mellitus (DM), por suas repercussões imunológicas e microvasculares, pode predispor a AL ou modificar a resposta do paciente a essa infecção. Objetivo: avaliar o impacto da diabetes melittus nos pacientes com AL. Metodologia Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura na qual foi proposta uma estratégia de busca que utilizou, como base de dados, o MEDLINE, acessado via PUBMED, limitada ao idioma inglês e a publicações do período de 1954 a 2020. Na pesquisa foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “Ludwig’s angina” e “diabetes”. Incluíram-se relatos de caso e estudos observacionais que abordavam a angina de Ludwig em pacientes diabéticos. Resultados: foram encontrados 26 artigos e, após a leitura dos seus resumos, foram eliminados 12 artigos que não estabeleceram nenhuma relação entre AL e DM. Em relação ao tempo de internação hospitalar, os pacientes diagnosticados com hiperglicemia passam mais dias no hospital, devido a complicações e acompanhamento clínico. As bactérias do gênero Klebsiella pneumoniae foram encontradas em maior quantidade na cultura de pacientes diabéticos. A terapêutica medicamentosa mais utilizada empiricamente foi a associação entre amoxicilina, clavulanato de potássio e metronidazol. Conclusão: é possível observar que a Angina de Ludwig tem seu curso clínico modificado pela diabetes mellitus. As complicações envolvendo a associação DM e AL ocorrem tanto em pacientes diabéticos sem controle glicêmico, como naqueles diabéticos controlados, ainda que em menor grau.
