Article Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the decision to reopen schools for in-person instruction has become a pressing policy issue. This study examines what overall factors drive public support for schools re-opening in person and whether members of the public are willing to comply with school re-opening decisions based on their own preferences and/or the level of government from which the order comes. Through two rounds of national surveys with an embedded experiment, I find consistent evidence that 1) trust in information from elites - not contact with COVID - best explain preferences for reopening, 2) political ideology and racial and class identification help explain preferences as well, and 3) the President of the United States is best positioned to generate compliance with a school reopening mandate. This study suggests that politics - not public health - drives public support for schools reopening and compliance with government orders to reopen.

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis due to their durability and lower risk of complications than alternative access methods. However, AVFs can significantly impact cardiac function, particularly in patients with preexisting cardiovascular conditions. We present a case of a 56-year-old female with a history of hypertension and end-stage renal disease who developed recurrent hypotension, dizziness, and dyspnea following AVF reopening.

MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective 20-year observational follow-up study subsequent to a prior prospective study to evaluate the long-term outcomes following ligation of the proximal left renal vein (LRV). Between October 2001 and January 2005, 44 liver cirrhosis patients underwent LDLT with LRV ligation.
