Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Short videos, crucial for disseminating health information on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), lack a clear evaluation of quality and reliability. This study aimed to assess the quality and reliability of MASLD-related videos on Chinese platforms. METHODS Video samples were collected from three platforms (TikTok, Kwai and Bilibili) during the period from November 2019 to July 2023. Two independent reviewers evaluated the integrity of the information contained therein by scoring six key aspects of its content: definition, epidemiology, risk factors, outcomes, diagnosis and treatment. The quality and reliability of the videos were assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, the Global Quality Score (GQS) and the modified DISCERN score. RESULTS A total of 198 videos were included. The video content exhibited an overall unsatisfactory quality, with a primary emphasis on risk factors and treatment, while diagnosis and epidemiology were seldom addressed. Regarding the sources of the videos, the GQS and modified DISCERN scores varied significantly between the platforms (p = .003), although they had generally similar JAMA scores (p = .251). Videos created by medical professionals differed significantly in terms of JAMA scores (p = .046) compared to those created by nonmedical professionals, but there were no statistically significant differences in GQS (p = .923) or modified DISCERN scores (p = .317). CONCLUSIONS The overall quality and reliability of the videos were poor and varied between platforms and uploaders. Platforms and healthcare professionals should strive to provide more reliable health-related information regarding MASLD.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1325978. [PMID: 38646555 PMCID: PMC11032016 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1325978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction There is growing evidence suggesting that dual-task training benefits people with Parkinson's disease (PD) on both physical and cognitive outcomes. However, there is no known data regarding professionals' educational needs and barriers to its implementation. This study aimed to explore the barriers and educational needs of healthcare and exercise professionals to integrate dual-task training into their practice with people with PD. Methods We conducted a study based on a web survey. Social media channels were used to recruit a convenience sample of exercise and healthcare professionals working with people with PD. Results Of the 185 eligible responses, the majority were physiotherapists (68.1%) followed by occupational therapists (10.8%). Most participants attended Parkinson specific training (88.6%) and employed the treatments set up in individual one on-one sessions (58.9%). We identified several barriers to dual-task training implementation, with lack of time (to prepare materials), staying creative and/ or accessing new ideas, unreliable tools for measuring gains, and insufficient expertise as the most referred by participants. The educational needs most referred included accessing examples of interventions in general, knowing what strategies to apply and their application for people with different symptoms. Discussion Our results highlight that professionals remain challenged to integrate dualtask training into PD clinical care mainly due to knowledge gaps, difficulties in accessing new ideas, and lack of time.

A Neural Network Approach for Understanding Patient Experiences of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Retrospective, Cross-sectional Study of Social Media Content. JMIR Med Inform 2021; 9:e26272. [PMID: 34762056 PMCID: PMC8663584 DOI: 10.2196/26272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The abundance of online content contributed by patients is a rich source of insight about the lived experience of disease. Patients share disease experiences with other members of the patient and caregiver community and do so using their own lexicon of words and phrases. This lexicon and the topics that are communicated using words and phrases belonging to the lexicon help us better understand disease burden. Insights from social media may ultimately guide clinical development in ways that ensure that future treatments are fit for purpose from the patient’s perspective. Objective We sought insights into the patient experience of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by analyzing a substantial corpus of social media content. The corpus was sufficiently large to make manual review and manual coding all but impossible to perform in a consistent and systematic fashion. Advanced analytics were applied to the corpus content in the search for associations between symptoms and impacts across the entire text corpus. Methods We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 5663 posts sourced from open blogs and online forum posts published by COPD patients between February 2016 and August 2019. We applied a novel neural network approach to identify a lexicon of community words and phrases used by patients to describe their symptoms. We used this lexicon to explore the relationship between COPD symptoms and disease-related impacts. Results We identified a diverse lexicon of community words and phrases for COPD symptoms, including gasping, wheezy, mucus-y, and muck. These symptoms were mentioned in association with specific words and phrases for disease impact such as frightening, breathing discomfort, and difficulty exercising. Furthermore, we found an association between mucus hypersecretion and moderate disease severity, which distinguished mucus from the other main COPD symptoms, namely breathlessness and cough. Conclusions We demonstrated the potential of neural networks and advanced analytics to gain patient-focused insights about how each distinct COPD symptom contributes to the burden of chronic and acute respiratory illness. Using a neural network approach, we identified words and phrases for COPD symptoms that were specific to the patient community. Identifying patterns in the association between symptoms and impacts deepened our understanding of the patient experience of COPD. This approach can be readily applied to other disease areas.

JMIR Hum Factors 2021; 8:e27528. [PMID: 34010138 PMCID: PMC8323016 DOI: 10.2196/27528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical practices, which are businesses through which one or more physicians treat patients, have likely not yet taken full advantage of the reach of social media. This study analyzed data collected using an anonymous survey to assess the potential utilization of large, established social media platforms in health care. The survey collected data from a diverse population of health care professional students, faculty, and physicians affiliated with the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). This study provides significant, actionable data to more efficiently implement a social media strategy focused on age to help developing private practices and outpatient clinics from the perspective of those with experience in the field of medicine. OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive study aims to explore the most effective strategies to use social media based on patient age to bring further success to a medical practice. METHODS Data were gathered from an anonymous, peer-validated Qualtrics survey created by the corresponding authors based on the recommendations from a panel of experts including executive leadership at TTUHSC. The survey used a variety of question styles to measure differences between social media platforms, including frequency of use, current and future implications in medicine, and comfort in a health care setting. The sample population included students, interns, faculty, and physicians affiliated with the TTUHSC located throughout West Texas. RESULTS The anonymous survey included 673 individuals from several different age groups predetermined at the beginning of the study. There were 154 respondents aged between 18 and 25 years, 171 aged between 26 and 35 years, 133 aged between 36 and 45 years, 104 aged between 46 and 55 years, and 111 aged between 56 and 89 years. The sample population also has a variety of educational achievements. The respondents were grouped based on the highest level of education attained, and this included 23.5% (n=158) of respondents who earned a high school diploma, 42% (n=283) who earned a bachelor's degree, 17.1% (n=115) who earned a master's degree, and 17.4% (n=117) who earned a doctorate degree. CONCLUSIONS As social media continues to gain momentum, efficient utilization of the available platforms can help medical practices achieve larger patient populations and deliver more personalized care. However, privacy and security concerns should be considered while using social media in health care settings. Although this study demonstrated overwhelming interest in using social media in the medical field across all age groups, adoption willingness appears to be higher in younger respondents than in older respondents. Facebook was the most widely accepted social media platform in health care settings among all age groups. Nonetheless, other social media platforms could potentially be used more effectively depending on the age range of the targeted patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of modern technology and social media has revolutionized the way health information is distributed to diabetes mellitus patients. Social media can be used as a medium of providing health interventions to improve patient health outcomes. Social media is able to provide a more intensive communication facility between healthcare professionals and patients. We aim to systematically review and describe the effect of social media interventions on health outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS A systematic review was carried out from three electronic databases (Pubmed, Scopus, and Medline). Eligible publications are studies that describe the application of social media interventions on the health outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus. RESULTS Fourteen studies were selected for this systematic review, 10 studies with a randomized controlled trial design, and 4 studies with a nonrandomized controlled trial design. Six studies only used interventions using social media, A blend of face-to-face social media intervention was used in 6 studies, 2 studies used a combination of telephone and social media intervention. One study had treatment behavior outcomes with improvement in treatment behavior, 6 studies had clinical outcomes (an improvement in HbA1c values in the four studies), 6 studies had treatment behavior outcomes and clinical outcomes (1 study had improved treatment behavior and clinical outcomes, 3 studies had improved treatment behavior outcome only), and 1 study had medication adherence outcome (no improvement in medication adherence). CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that the intervention using social media can improve the health outcomes of diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital media have found their way into almost all areas of daily life. The aim of this study was to analyse the extent to which injured athletes use online media to gather information on sports injuries or on how to prevent them. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 07-2017 and 12-2019, both recreational and competitive climbing athletes were surveyed on their use of various media with regard to sports medicine and prevention. RESULTS 488 athletes were included in the study (70.9 % male, 29.1 % female, 33.2 ± 10.3 (13-71) years of age). 69.9 % of the athletes use web-based medical content, with the video platform YouTube being most frequently used for specific searches (24.4 %). Younger athletes (< 30y) use video platforms significantly more often than older athletes (p = 0.011). Sports-specific literature is most frequently used by the age group 30-50 years (37.4 %). The age group > 50 uses this medium significantly less frequently (18.8 %; p = 0.013). Competitive athletes use web-based medical content significantly more often than recreational athletes (p = 0.005). The general interest in injury prevention is high, with competitive athletes using relevant content more often. Almost 9 % of all patients interviewed visited a sports-orthopaedic facility because of their online research work. SUMMARY Internet-based medical information is used by 69.9 % of athletes, with the video platform YouTube being most frequently used. Video platforms and sports-specific literature are used significantly more often by younger athletes than by older athletes. Web-based medical content is accessed significantly more often by professional athletes than by recreational athletes. The general interest in injury prophylaxis is high, with competitive athletes using or browsing medical content more often.

Abstract
This overview will outline the current results of neuroscience research on the possible effects of digital media use on the human brain, cognition, and behavior. This is of importance due to the significant amount of time that individuals spend using digital media. Despite several positive aspects of digital media, which include the capability to effortlessly communicate with peers, even over a long distance, and their being used as training tools for students and the elderly, detrimental effects on our brains and minds have also been suggested. Neurological consequences have been observed related to internet/gaming addiction, language development, and processing of emotional signals. However, given that much of the neuroscientific research conducted up to now relies solely on self-reported parameters to assess social media usage, it is argued that neuroscientists need to include datasets with higher precision in terms of what is done on screens, for how long, and at what age.
