Patient Experience With Absolute Voice Rest Following Phonomicrosurgery: A Qualitative Study.

Voice rest is commonly recommended following phonomicrosurgery to minimize vocal fold scarring, but associated quality of life (QoL) is low resulting in poor compliance. This study aimed to explore patients' experiences with voice rest following phonomicrosurgery to identify facilitators and barriers. This qualitative study used prospective, typical case technique for purposive sampling of consecutive patients who underwent voice rest following phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal fold lesions. Participants were enrolled at a single tertiary Laryngology center located at Unity Health Toronto - St. Michael's Hospital from 2020 to 2022. Semi-structured virtual interviews were conducted 4 weeks following patients' surgery. All interview transcripts were transcribed verbatim and underwent thematic analysis. Participant recruitment was stopped once thematic saturation was achieved. Twenty participants were recruited and 4 withdrew due to scheduling conflicts. Sixteen participants completed interviews, all of whom reported minimal impact of postoperative voice rest on QoL. The participants attributed their success to facilitators such as notifying close contacts of their situation beforehand and adopting nonverbal forms of communication. No participant endorsed a negative attitude toward voice rest. Understanding the rationale for voice rest and the consequences of noncompliance were reported to be effective in encouraging compliance. Overall, the participants tolerated voice rest well owing to facilitators such as early preparation, lifestyle modifications, and understanding the rationale for voice rest. Social disconnect and work demands were barriers of voice rest. Moving forward, facilitators and barriers should be addressed in efforts to optimize the voice rest experience for future patient populations. 4 Laryngoscope, 134:361-366, 2024.

Detecting Noncompliant Behavior in Organizations: How Online Survey Responses and Behaviors Reveal Risk

ABSTRACT Ensuring organizational regulatory and legal compliance is a challenging, high-stakes management task. Overlooking or underestimating noncompliance in organizations can result in substantial fines, damage to a company’s reputation, and, ultimately, loss of business. To help alleviate this risk, we explore whether organizations can assess noncompliance by monitoring users’ answers and related mouse cursor movements in an intelligent online questionnaire. Namely, we propose that noncompliant (compared with compliant) individuals will experience more cognitive dissonance on questions about (1) what constitutes noncompliance behavior and (2) what consequences for noncompliance are appropriate. We predict that increased cognitive dissonance in noncompliant individuals will influence their questionnaire responses—as well as their mouse cursor movements—when answering these questions. We collect data to test our hypotheses in a study from individuals who voluntarily chose to cheat on an online task for monetary gain. The results suggest that the responses to these two groups of questions, along with the associated mouse cursor movement, can work together as a low-cost, scalable tool to help assess noncompliance risk. This paper contributes to theory by explaining how people who are noncompliant tend to provide more lenient answers to questions about what constitutes compliance and the consequences of noncompliance. In addition, we show how mouse-cursor deviation provides theoretical insight into the level of cognitive dissonance that users experience, and that users who are noncompliant show greater deviation on compliance and consequence questions.

Individually optimal choices can be collectively disastrous in COVID-19 disease control

BackgroundThe word ‘pandemic’ conjures dystopian images of bodies stacked in the streets and societies on the brink of collapse. Despite this frightening picture, denialism and noncompliance with public health measures are common in the historical record, for example during the 1918 Influenza pandemic or the 2015 Ebola epidemic. The unique characteristics of SARS-CoV-2—its high basic reproduction number (R0), time-limited natural immunity and considerable potential for asymptomatic spread—exacerbate the public health repercussions of noncompliance with interventions (such as vaccines and masks) to limit disease transmission. Our work explores the rationality and impact of noncompliance with measures aimed at limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2.MethodsIn this work, we used game theory to explore when noncompliance confers a perceived benefit to individuals. We then used epidemiological modeling to predict the impact of noncompliance on control of SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating that the presence of a noncompliant subpopulation prevents suppression of disease spread.ResultsOur modeling demonstrates that noncompliance is a Nash equilibrium under a broad set of conditions and that the existence of a noncompliant population can result in extensive endemic disease in the long-term after a return to pre-pandemic social and economic activity. Endemic disease poses a threat for both compliant and noncompliant individuals; all community members are protected if complete suppression is achieved, which is only possible with a high degree of compliance. For interventions that are highly effective at preventing disease spread, however, the consequences of noncompliance are borne disproportionately by noncompliant individuals.ConclusionsIn sum, our work demonstrates the limits of free-market approaches to compliance with disease control measures during a pandemic. The act of noncompliance with disease intervention measures creates a negative externality, rendering suppression of SARS-CoV-2 spread ineffective. Our work underscores the importance of developing effective strategies for prophylaxis through public health measures aimed at complete suppression and the need to focus on compliance at a population level.

Home Administration of CVD 103-HgR: A Live Attenuated Oral Cholera Vaccine.

Vaccination is a well-established means for prevention and spread of disease in people traveling abroad. Although vaccines to diseases such as cholera are recommended by world health agencies, they are seldom required even when traveling to endemic regions. Consequences of noncompliance can affect traveler's health and spread diseases to new regions, as occurred in Haiti in 2010 when United Nations peacekeepers from Nepal, where a cholera outbreak was underway, introduced the disease to the region. Steps to increase vaccine recommendation compliance should therefore be an integral part of vaccine development. PXVX0200 contains Center for Vaccine Development 103-HgR live, attenuated recombinant Vibrio cholerae vaccine strain, and is indicated for single-dose immunization against the bacteria that causes cholera. It is supplied as one buffer and one active component packet to be mixed into water and ingested. Administration instructions are designed to be "user friendly" with flexibility for self-administration, thus promoting compliance. Studies to support self-administration were conducted to cover stability of the vaccine outside of normal storage conditions, potency in case of misadministration, and disposal procedures to minimize environmental impact. The principal findings showed that the stability of vaccine was maintained under conditions allowing for transport times and temperature conditions as well as when misadministration errors were made. Finally, the vaccine was effectively neutralized with hot water and soap to prevent bacterial environmental contamination in the event of an accidental spill. The conclusion is that PXVX0200 oral vaccine is stable, easy to formulate and dispose of, and is amenable to self-administration.

Preferred Strategies for Delivering Health Information to Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Qualitative Study.

Patients' information needs may differ from what their care providers may perceive to be the patients' needs. This discordance needs to be recognized and addressed. We conducted a qualitative study to explore the perceptions of patients with selected musculoskeletal disorders and those of rheumatologists, on their preferred strategies for delivery of disease management information. Fifty-two patients diagnosed with either rheumatoid arthritis, knee osteoarthritis, or osteoporosis took part in 6 focus groups and 18 individual semistructured interviews. In addition, 11 rheumatologists participated in 2 focus groups and 4 semistructured individual interviews. Data were explored by thematic content analysis. Perceived preferences were identified and compared between patients and rheumatologists regarding (a) media, (b) setting, (c) messengers, and (d) key message content. Patients' preferred media for disease management information were electronic (television and videos delivered as digital optical discs or the Internet), group instruction, and printed material. Patients preferred the information to be delivered in the setting of their homes, doctor's offices, or clinic waiting areas by the rheumatologists and patients with disease experience, addressing healthy lifestyle changes, medication adherence, and consequences of noncompliance. For rheumatologists, the perceived preference for information delivery was through printed material (brochures, booklets, and pamphlets) delivered in waiting areas by nurses and physicians, addressing nature of the disease, complications, and treatment adverse effects. Provider perspectives on strategies for education may differ from those of patients. Our findings highlight the need for considering different stakeholder perspectives in designing educational tools and decision support materials for patients with chronic diseases. Rheumatologists' preferences on strategies for education (mode of delivery, delivery setting, messengers, and topics) differ from those of patients. For example, patients want to learn about lifestyle changes and consequences of compliance versus noncompliance, whereas rheumatologists considered more important for patients to understand their disease, treatment adverse effects, and consequences of noncompliance.

Policing partnerships to address youth antisocial behavior: How parental risk‐taking shapes child outcomes

Research SummaryPartnerships are an integral part of the working life of police, yet not a lot is known about how such partnerships work to deter and control crime problems. This article explores the impact of a Third Party Policing Partnership involving police and schools coming together to engage with parents to address their child's truancy and antisocial behavior. We report on results from an embedded behavioral economics experiment within the Ability School Engagement Program (ASEP) Trial. ASEP involved 102 young people who were chronically truant from school and randomly allocated to the experimental partnership program (ASEP) or the business‐as‐usual condition. We find that riskier choices made by parents increase the incidence of child self‐reported antisocial behavior (SRASB). Our results show parents in the ASEP condition had greater gains in knowledge of the education laws relative to control. There was a backfire effect for parents in the control group: Their gains in knowledge of the laws led their children to have higher levels of SRASB.Policy ImplicationsPolicing partnerships are an important part of the future of policing. Police partnerships with schools are a promising approach for engaging parents and young people in a manner that clearly and fairly explains to parents their legal obligations for their child's school attendance. While we do not find that ASEP modified parental risk‐taking behavior, we do find that the ASEP intervention created an insulating effect from the negative outcomes of the business‐as‐usual condition, in which school principals delivered ad hoc bad news to parents about their child's antisocial behavior in a way that was not procedurally just. Policing partnerships are likely to deter antisocial behavior when police work with third party partners who have some type of legislative responsibility. This legislative medium creates opportunities for the police and third parties to better engage and communicate legal responsibilities and the consequences of noncompliance.

Navigating Through a Complex and Inconsistent Regulatory Framework: Section 503B of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act Outsourcing Facilities Engaged in Clinical Investigation.

The integrity of unbiased clinical data is essential to the future of the health care system by facilitating the discovery of lifesaving medicines and ensuring investigational drugs are safe and effective. Since 2002, the US pharmaceutical industry has invested over $500 billion, which is the largest research and development investment of any sector of the US economy. As a consequence of this significant investment, pharmacy compounders and other stakeholders must be acutely aware of the consequences of noncompliance. Pharmacy compounders are required to navigate through a complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape governed by US federal and state authorities competing for oversight and enforcement authority. In particular, pharmacy compounders participating in clinical investigation are faced with inconsistent federal and state drug labeling regulations, which can lead to enforcement for violating acceptable standards for clinical investigation and informed consent. As FDA registrants, Outsourcing Facilities are able to produce large volumes of clinical supplies without the need for prescriptions for individually named patients. Some states, however, may have prescription drug labeling laws that could thwart the ability to provide these clinical supplies. Accordingly, researchers should be aware of the implications of federal and state laws, including any inconsistencies, prior to engaging in clinical investigation.

Treatment of schizophrenia using tablet and smartphone based applications (Polish Study)

Relapses, deterioration of cognitive functioning, negative symptoms, neuroleptic resistance are the examples of many consequences of noncompliance in schizophrenia. In order to improve the compliance, schizophrenic patients treated in an outpatient department in a traditional way have been given an additional possibility of contacting their doctors with the use of a special application on a portable electronic device. Other functions of this application are possibilities of PANSS, Calgary and CGI measurements and cognitive trainings for the patients. This type of a remote contact with patients can be an effective tool in the work in an outpatient setting. The compliance was assessed using a telepsychiatric system, sending reminders: 1 hour before the planned dose to remind them that drug intake is approaching, and at the moment of intake to check if they took the drug. In general the compliance in the group of schizophrenic patients in remission is very low, however the telemedicine system improves the compliance in this group of patients, in which the compliance is the worst.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Outbreak of Multiresistant OXA-24- and OXA-51-Producing <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> in an Internal Medicine Ward

Here we describe the clinical, microbiological, epidemiological, and molecular characterization of an outbreak of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) involving 5 patients admitted to the internal medicine ward of our hospital. Over a 6-week period, 5 MRAB isolates were recovered from 5 patients, including 1 with fatal meningitis, 3 with skin and soft tissue infections, and 1 with respiratory colonization. One sample obtained during environmental monitoring in the ward was A. baumannii-positive. According to the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing results, the strains isolated from all patients and the environmental sample belonged to a single clone, identified as ST79 by multilocus sequence typing. The blaOXA-24 and blaOXA-51 carbapenemases were detected in all isolates. Four patients died, but only the death of the meningitis patient was probably related to the A. baumannii infection. The infection source was probably the hands of the healthcare workers because the outbreak strain was isolated from the surface of a serum container. The results of the present study revealed the importance of strict adherence to control measures by all healthcare workers because the consequences of noncompliance can be very serious.

The Consequences of Noncompliance With Guidelines for Withholding or Terminating Resuscitation in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest Patients

The validity of current guidelines regarding resuscitation of patients in traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest (TCPA) and the ability of emergency medical services (EMS) to appropriately apply them have been called into question. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the consequences of violating the current published guidelines and whether EMS personnel were able to accurately identify patients in TCPA. We conducted a retrospective review of our Level I trauma center's database that identified 294 patients over an 8-year period (January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2010) who suffered prehospital TCPA and met criteria for the withholding or termination of resuscitation based on current guidelines. Patient demographics, prehospital/emergency department physiology, survival, neurologic outcome, and hospital charges were analyzed. One of 294 patients (0.3%) survived to reach hospital discharge with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 6. The total costs incurred for these 294 patients meeting criteria for withholding or termination of resuscitation were $3,852,446.65. One hundred seventeen (39.8%) patients were evaluated by more than one EMS team. There was 100% agreement on the presence (15 of 15) or absence (102 of 102) of a pulse between the EMS teams. Our data support the current guidelines regarding the withholding or termination of resuscitation of patients in prehospital TCPA and represent the largest series to date on this topic. EMS personnel were able to accurately determine traumatic cardiac arrest in the field in this series. Violation of the current guidelines resulted in six patients being resuscitated to a neurologically devastated state. No loss of neurologically intact survivors would have resulted had strict adherence to the guidelines been maintained.

African American Kidney Transplantation Survival

Among organ transplant recipients, the African American population historically has received special attention. This is because secondary to their disposition to certain disease states, for example hypertension, an African American patient has a propensity to reach end-stage renal disease and require renal replacement earlier than a Caucasian patient. Regardless of the initiative to replace dialysis therapy with organ transplantation, the African American patient has many barriers to kidney transplantation, thus extending their time on dialysis and waiting time on the organ transplant list. These factors are among the many negative causes of decreased kidney graft survival, realized before kidney transplantation. Unfortunately, once the African American recipient receives a kidney graft, the literature documents that many post-transplant barriers exist which limit successful outcomes. The primary post-transplant barrier relates to designing proper immunosuppression protocols. The difficulty in designing protocols revolves around (i) altered genetic metabolism/lower absorption, (ii) increased immuno-active cytokines and (iii) detrimental effects of noncompliance. Based on the literature, dosing of immunosuppression must be aggressive and requires a diligent practitioner. Research has indicated that, despite some success with proven levels of immunosuppression, the African American recipient usually requires a higher 'dose per weight' regimen. However, even with aggressive immunosuppressant dosing, African Americans still have worse outcomes than Caucasian recipients. Additionally, many of the targeted sites of action that immunosuppression exerts its effects on have been found to be amplified in the African American population. Finally, noncompliance is the most discouraging inhibitor of long-term success in organ transplantation. The consequences of noncompliance are biased by ethnicity and affect the African American population more severely. All of these factors are discussed further in this review in the hope of identifying an ideal healthcare model for caring for the African American transplant recipient, from diagnosing chronic kidney disease through to successful kidney graft outcomes. An indepth review of the literature is described and organized in a fashion that highlights all of the issues affecting success in African Americans. The compilation of the literature in this review will enable the reader to get closer to understanding the caveats of kidney transplantation in the African American patient, but falls short of delivering an actual 'equation' for post-transplant care in an African American kidney recipient.

SEC proposes mandatory use of XBRL tagging of financial statements

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explain the SEC's proposal to require domestic and foreign public companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with US GAAP to file financial statements contained in registration statements and periodic reports in an interactive data format using XBRL, or “eXtensible Business Reporting Language”.Design/methodology/approachThe paper explains the purpose of XBRL, provides an overview of the SEC's proposal, discusses the consequences of noncompliance, and explains the SEC's “bifurcated” approach to filers' liability for the interactive data they are required to provide.FindingsXBRL, like the other electronic formats currently used by registrants in their SEC filings, defines or “tags” data using standard definitions. The SEC believes that financial reporting based on the XBRL format would create new ways for investors, analysts, and others to retrieve and use financial information in documents filed with the SEC. XBRL tagging of financial statements most likely represents only the SEC's first step in moving toward more widespread adoption of XBRL reporting.Originality/valueThe paper contains practical guidance by experienced securities lawyers.

Critical Thoughts on Article 59(2) of the ICC Statute

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has already issued its first arrest warrants. Hence, the question of the custodial state arresting a person in response to a request issued by the Court and his or her appearance before competent judicial authorities (per Article 59(2) ICCSt.), becomes compelling. Several pertinent questions arise in relation to the application of this provision. The article addresses, in particular, issues such as: (i) the rationale for Article 59; (ii) the implications of paragraph 2; (iii) the consequences of non compliance with this provision; (iv) the impact of human rights decisions on its application and (v) the question of self-referrals in relation to paragraph 2.

Training Employees to Identify Potential Fraud and How to Encourage Them to Come Forward

Information security and privacy training and awareness are challenges in every organization. Most people do not like to participate in training. Ensuring that employees understand their responsibilities for protecting information is vital to an organization's success and is required by law for many industries and jurisdictions. Helping employees understand how to identify and report fraud is especially important in today's business climate. A fraud awareness and training program must support an organization's business environment, be integrated within the information security program and policies, and meet applicable regulatory requirements. Personnel must be motivated to learn how to identify and report fraud by tangible and specific rewards and penalties to support an organization's fraud prevention efforts. Fraud prevention training must become part of the job appraisal process to build a truly effective fraud prevention education program. Corporate leaders must not only ensure compliance with regulatory issues but also effectively communicate fraud prevention policy and regulatory issues to the organization. Organizations cannot have a successful awareness and training program if personnel do not understand the impacts and consequences of noncompliance.
