Background
All World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys apply high standards of data quality. To date, most of the published quality control (QC) procedures for these surveys were in relation to face-to-face interviews. However, owing to the social restrictions that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, telephone interviews are the most effective alternative for conducting complex probability-based large-scale surveys.

Objective
In this paper, we present the QC system implemented in the WMH Qatar Survey, the first WMH Survey conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East. The objective of the QC process was to acquire high data quality through the reduction of random errors and bias in data collection.

Methods
The QC design and procedures in this study were adapted to the telephone survey mode in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on the design of the QC indicator system and its implementation, including the investigation process, monitoring interviewers’ performance during survey fielding and applying quality-informed interventions.

Results
The study team investigated 11,035 flags triggered during the 2 waves of the survey data collection. The most triggered flags were related to short question administration duration and multiple visits to the same survey questions or responses. Live monitoring of the interviews helped in understanding why certain duration-related flags were triggered and the interviewing patterns of the interviewers. Corrective and preventive actions were taken against interviewers’ behaviors based on the investigation of triggered flags per interviewer and live call monitoring of interviews. Although, in most cases, the interviewers required refresher training sessions and feedback to improve their performance, several interviewers discontinued work because of low productivity and a high number of triggered flags.

Conclusions
The specific QC procedures implemented in the course of the WMH Qatar Survey were essential for successfully meeting the target number of interviews (N=5000). The QC strategies and the new indicators customized for telephone interviews contributed to the flag investigation and verification process. The QC data presented in this study shed light on the rigorous methods and quality monitoring processes in the course of conducting a large-scale national survey on sensitive topics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A clinical case is presented of delayed diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) due to aldosterone-producing adenoma. Suspicion of PHA arises in case of persistent combination of hypertension with hypokalemia of various severity, a specific neuromuscular syndrome, as well as a high risk of cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and deterioration of kidney function, which are not typical for banal hypertension. Unsatisfactory blood pressure control with a standard combination of pharmacotherapy, an unexpected positive effect of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, high blood pressure in young people, as well as a family history of early high blood pressure or stroke at a young age, paroxysmal course of hypertension itself increases the risk of PHA. For a long time, a disease in our patient was considered a banal hypertension, although the diagnostic hypothesis of PHA should appear immediately after severe neuromuscular syndrome, rapid progression of cardiomyopathy and clinically significant heart failure began to dominate in the clinical picture. A 44-year-old female patient came to the attention of rheumatologists with suspicion of inflammatory myopathy due to frequent episodes of muscle weakness whose origin remained unclear. Key complaints of pronounced paroxysmal generalized muscle weakness, especially in the limbs, numbness and paresthesias in the extremities, calf muscle cramps against the background of hypertension were regarded as a neuromuscular syndrome specific to PHA. The PHA hypothesis was supported by the presence of cardiomyopathy, heart failure, clinically significant hypokalemia, and elevated aldosterone level. Computed tomography of the retroperitoneal space confirmed the presence of adrenal adenoma. Unfortunately, with a delay, after 13 years of hypertension, the diagnosis of PHA against the background of aldosterone-producing adenoma was confirmed. Consultation with a surgeon endocrinologist was suggested, as well as administration of eplerenone 50 mg daily in combination with lercanidipine 20 mg daily. Already after 6 weeks of pharmacotherapy, a positive therapeutic effect was obtained regarding the control of hypertension, heart failure, and the severity of neuromuscular syndrome. The differential diagnosis of secondary endocrine hypertension can be successful only with the possession of skills for early clinical detection of endocrine pathology, even in subclinical disease presentation. The diagnosis of PHA makes it possible to offer a patient radical surgical treatment, as well as to choose optimal approaches to pharmacotherapy.

Objective Pseudomonas aeruginosa is opportunistic gram-negative bacillus and a major human pathogen belongs to family Pseudomonadaceae, it causes several nosocomial infections including pneumonia, urinary tract, surgical sites, otitis externa, and soft tissues.
Methods: The study was conducted from April 2021 to January 2022 and involved the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates and their susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents among patients and healthcare workers specimens in three hospitals of Duhok city. The collected specimens were examined and cultured on different media in the Advanced Microbiology Laboratory, Azadi teaching hospital. The isolated bacteria were identified according to their morphological and biochemical properties.
Results: Out of 324 specimens, 29.32% (95/324) of the isolates were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from 26.89% patients and 40% healthcare workers. Regarding isolate rates among specimens, the highest rate (48.78%) was from sputum, with a highly significant (P<0.001) difference from other sources. Females had a non-significantly higher isolate rate than males (28.19% vs 25.22%), ages, >50 years had the highest isolate rate (72.88%), while the lowest rate 6.25% was among ages >10-20 years, with highly significant (P< 0.001) differences among them. Specimens from Hevii hospital showed a non-significantly higher isolate rate (28.57%) than other hospitals. Isolates highest susceptibility was to Colistin (88.7%) followed by Imipenem (78.9%), while they were 98.6 % resistant to ampicillin and 100% resistant to Amoxicillin, Erythromycin and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole. A high rate of extensively drug-resistant (19.72%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates was documented among patients who attended these hospitals with the highest (31.25%) from wounds.
Conclusion these findings will be helpful to advise treatment with appropriate antibiotic strategy against multi- and extensively drug -resistant P. aeruginosa to cope with the chances of evolving resistant pathogens.

Auditor Materiality Disclosures and Investor Trust: How to Address Conditional Risks of Disclosure Mandates
Authors: Festa Mackenzie M. , Jones Megan M. , Witz Patrick D. 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
This study contributes to the literature examining the benefits and costs associated with auditor quantitative materiality disclosures. We conduct an experiment to examine a conditional risk associated with such disclosures: that investors with heightened concerns about earnings management, a qualitative concern, will anchor too strongly to the quantitative threshold and lose trust in the audit. The experiment manipulates (1) whether investor concerns about earnings management are low or high and (2) whether auditors provide a quantitative materiality disclosure. We find that quantitative materiality disclosures mislead investors when they have high concerns about earnings management. Specifically, investors lose trust in the auditor’s ability to identify errors that are quantitatively small, but important from a qualitative perspective. A second experiment further suggests that auditors’ provision of detailed, rather than nominal, qualitative materiality disclosures can mitigate this conditional risk. Our study contributes to practice and literature on financial disclosure, materiality, and investor behavior.

Authors: Tilden Daniel R. , French Benjamin , Datye Karishma A. , Jaser Sarah S. 
Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVE
Despite evidence that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use is associated with lower HbA1c among children with type 1 diabetes, uptake of this technology remains lower among those with difficulty accessing health care, including those from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds and racial and ethnic minorities. In this study, we sought to explore the impact of rural location in use of CGM technology to guide patient and provider decision making.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In this retrospective study of electronic health record demographic and visits data from a single diabetes program from 1 January 2018 through 31 December 2021, we compared the odds of completing a visit with (+) and without (−) CGM interpretation between rural-urban commuting area (RUCA) designations.

RESULTS
Among the 13,645 visits completed by 2,008 patients with type 1 diabetes younger than age 18 years, we found children living in small rural towns had 31% lower odds (6.3% of CGM+ visits, 8.6% of CGM− visits; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.69, 95% CI 0.51–0.94) and those living in isolated rural towns had 49% lower odds (2.0% of CGM+ visits, 3.4% of CGM− visits; aOR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28–0.92) of completing a CGM-billed clinic visit compared with those living in urban areas (70.0% of CGM+ visits, 67.2% of CGM− visits). We also found significant differences in CGM-billed visits by neighborhood deprivation as well as race/ethnicity and insurance payor.

CONCLUSIONS
Geographic location presents a meaningful barrier to access to care for patients living with type 1 diabetes. Further work is needed to identify and address the needs of children and families living in rural areas to improve the care of these patients.

Published: October 2023

Objective: Effective communication is crucial in the field of radiography as it holds significant importance in the practice. Radiologic technologists need to possess an understanding of both the physical and emotional requirements of patients. This understanding can be attained through proficient communication skills. Methodology: A qualitative research study was conducted in nearly fifteen private hospitals in Dhaka City in Bangladesh and 61 radiological technologists and 111 patients responds to this study. Result: The most important thing is, radiological technologist data showed there were 40 (65.6%) radiological technologists using protective shields for patients when taking radiographic exams and likewise Patients data showed there were 65 (58.6%) patients said that the radiological technologists were not using protective shields when taking radiographic exam. This is a contradictory issue of each other. It is due to a lack of awareness among professionals and patients and also due to a lack of supervision of the concerned authority. Conclusion: The study aimed to assess the extent of verbal communication occurring between radiological technologists and patients. It also sought to recognize the significance of patient care, ensuring patient safety, and determining priorities within diagnostic radiology departments.
Towards a better understanding of self-selection to teacher training programmes: A case study of a renowned public university in Poland
Authors: Herbst Mikołaj , Zając Tomasz 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIt is difficult to achieve high-quality education without good teachers. Therefore, it is crucial to understand who decides to become a teacher. This study leverages a large-scale administrative dataset comprising detailed records of the educational trajectories of 10 cohorts of students at the University of Warsaw, the largest higher education institution in Poland, in order to investigate self-selection to the teaching profession and to learn whether it depends on the mode of teacher training and the student's primary field of studies. We find that the recruitment of students to the concurrent teacher training programme is characterised by adverse self-selection with respect to prior academic achievements. When it comes to consecutive programmes, pursued as an extension or specialisation within the major programme, the willingness of students to enroll in teacher training is related to their secondary school achievements, but also – and in a distinct way – to their early experience at the university. In the case of STEM and foreign language programmes, we observe adverse selection to teacher training with respect to either the student's pre-university academic outcomes or their achievements during the first year of university studies.
The evolution of folate supplementation – from one size for all to personalized, precision, poly-paths
Authors: He Qiangqiang , Li Jianping 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Folate is a crucial nutrient that supports physiological functions. Low folate levels is a risk factor for several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and neural tube defects. The most used folate supplement is folic acid, a synthetic oxidative form, and folic acid grain fortification is a success story of public health. However, the metabolic conversion of folic acid to bioactive tetrahydrofolate requires several enzymes and cofactors. Therefore, these factors influence its bioavailability and efficacy. In contrast, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is used directly and participates in one-carbon metabolism, and the use of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate as an alternative folate supplement has increased. The metabolism of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is primarily dependent on the transmembrane transporter, reduced folate carrier (RFC), and the RFC gene SLC19A1 variant is a functional polymorphism that affects folate status indexes. Recent studies demonstrated that the expression of RFC and cystathionine β-synthase, another enzyme required for homocysteine clearance, increases significantly by supplementation with calcitriol (vitamin D3), suggesting that calcitriol intake promotes the bioavailability of folate and has synergistic effects in homocysteine clearance. The advancements in biomedical and cohort studies and clinical trials have enhanced our understanding of the critical roles of folate and the regulation of one-carbon metabolism. We anticipate that the field of folate supplementation is poised to evolve from one size for all to personalized, precision, poly-paths (3Ps), which is a critical measure to meet individual needs, maximize health benefits, and minimize side effects.
