Abstract
This article provides a systematic review of the extensive and fragmented literature focused on Digital Transformation (DT) and marketing by identifying the main themes and perspectives (i.e., employees, customers, and business processes) studied by previous research. By mapping the DT literature in the area of marketing, 117 articles, published between 2014 and 2020, have been identified. Through the adoption of a content analysis process, a multi-dimensional framework synthesizing the DT and marketing binomial has been provided. Results identify two thematical patterns: the macro-themes, related to the main digital technologies adopted within the marketing function, and the micro-themes, related to the effect/impact of these technologies on marketing processes and activities. Concerning the micro-themes, findings show how they have mainly studied from the customer and business processes’ perspectives, thus identifying an interesting research gap related to the analysis of the DT-marketing phenomenon from the employees’ standpoint. Based on these results, the paper derives a research agenda by also providing theoretical and managerial implications. Theoretically, it is the first systematic and thematic review focused on DT and marketing. In particular, it analyses this binomial from a broad and comprehensive perspective, thus offering a synergistic framework of the existing literature, which allows an inclusive vision and understanding about the phenomenon. At the managerial level, the paper could help organizations to enhance their awareness about marketing areas and processes that could better benefit from digitalization, thus driving the overall transition of firms towards DT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical and health status outcomes of patients undergoing superficial femoral artery (SFA) revascularization using the Shape Memory Alloy Recoverable Technology (S.M.A.R.T.®) nitinol self-expanding stent through 3 years of follow-up. BACKGROUND Limited long-term data are available describing the durability of benefits after femoropopliteal revascularization. METHODS In a multicenter, prospective, core-lab adjudicated study, 250 subjects with de novo or restenotic femoropopliteal arterial lesions were treated with the S.M.A.R.T.® stent. The primary endpoint of target vessel patency, a composite of ultrasound-assessed patency and freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR), was evaluated through 3 years. Secondary endpoints included stent fracture and health status. Health status was measured using generic and disease-specific instruments, including the Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ). RESULTS At 3-year follow-up, Kaplan-Meier estimated target vessel patency was 72.7%, freedom from clinically driven TLR was 78.5%, and the incidence of stent fracture was 3.6%. The PAQ summary score was markedly impaired at baseline (mean 37.3 ± 19.6 points) and improved substantially at 1 month (mean change from baseline of 31.4 points, 95% CI: 28.5-34.3; P < 0.001). Disease-specific health status benefits assessed by the PAQ were largely preserved through 3 years of follow-up (mean change from baseline, 28.0 points, 95% CI: 24.3-31.7; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing revascularization for moderately complex SFA disease, use of the self-expanding S.M.A.R.T® stent was associated with a high rate of target vessel patency through 3 years and led to substantial and sustained health status benefits.

Abstract
Motilin induces phase III activity of the gastrointestinal tract. Erythromycin has a motilin-like effect on the stomach and significantly increases the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure in normal volunteers. This investigation was performed to evaluate the effects of erythromycin on esophageal function in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Esophageal manometry was performed in 10 GERD patients before and after intravenous infusion of 500 mg of erythromycin. Values are expressed as mean +/- SEM. LES pressure increased from 13.9 +/- 2.9 mm Hg at baseline to 28.9 +/- 3.6 mm Hg after infusion of erythromycin (p < 0.01). The duration of contractions in the proximal, middle, and distal esophagus was significantly prolonged from 3.5 +/- 0.4 seconds, 3.8 +/- 0.4 seconds, and 4.1 +/- 0.5 seconds to 4.2 +/- 0.2 seconds, 4.6 +/- 0.5 seconds, and 5.6 +/- 0.6 seconds, respectively, after infusion of erythromycin (p < 0.05 for each comparison). Erythromycin did not effect esophageal body contraction amplitude or velocity, or the upper esophageal sphincter. Serum motilin decreased slightly after the administration of erythromycin. We concluded the following: (1) Erythromycin profoundly stimulates the defective LES in patients with GERD. This appears to be a direct motilin agonist-like effect rather than being mediated by release of endogenous motilin. (2) Erythromycin has less effect on the esophageal body, although it does prolong the duration of esophageal contractions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Motilin induces phase III activity of the gastroesophageal tract. Erythromycin has a motilin-like effect on the stomach, but possible esophageal effects have not been evaluated and are the focus of our investigation. METHODS Esophageal manometry was performed in 11 healthy volunteers before and after intravenous infusion of 500 mg erythromycin. Values are expressed as means +/- SEM. RESULTS Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure increased from 21.1 +/- 2.6 mm Hg at baseline to 37.5 +/- 3.8 mm Hg after erythromycin infusion (p < 0.0001). Erythromycin did not affect LES length, esophageal body contraction amplitude, duration or velocity, or the upper esophageal sphincter. Serum motilin levels decreased from 96.4 +/- 10.9 pmol/L to 81.8 +/- 10.9 pmol/L (p < 0.01) after erythromycin administration. CONCLUSIONS Erythromycin profoundly stimulates the normal human LES. This is a direct motilin agonist-like effect and is not mediated by release of endogenous motilin. Erythromycin has no important effect on the esophageal body or the upper esophageal sphincter.
