Smartphones and other mobile devices have fundamentally changed patterns of Internet use in everyday life by making online access constantly available. The present paper offers a theoretical explication and empirical assessment of the concept of online vigilance, referring to users' permanent cognitive orientation towards online content and communication as well as their disposition to exploit these options constantly. Based on four studies, a validated and reliable self-report measure of online vigilance was developed. In combination, the results suggest that the Online Vigilance Scale (OVS) shows a stable factor structure in various contexts and user populations and provides future work in communication, psychology, and other social sciences with a new measure of the individual cognitive orientation towards ubiquitous online communication.

People with cystic fibrosis may experience polypharmacy, which can increase the risk of drug induced complications such as adverse events and drug-drug interactions. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of adverse events and to identify potential drug-drug interactions associated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). Three databases, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration Database of Adverse Event Notification (TGA DAEN), the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database (CVAROD), and the USA Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) Database were searched for spontaneous ETI adverse events between 2019 and 2024.
