BACKGROUND Youtube is the largest media sharing site with more than a billion active users monthly. Youtube videos are using for many subjects and health information is popular one of these subjects. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aim to examine and analyse a common mitral valve disease such as mitral valve prolapse videos on Youtube, which can be used on researching health problem, can contribute how and in what extend to inform patients and healthcare professionals. METHODS All cookies on the computer were cleared and the term "mitral valve prolapse" was entered in YouTube's search bar on 26/04/2020 (YouTube, www.youtube.com YouTube LLC, San Bruno, CA, USA). Search was made by selecting sorting criteria "number of views", type "general", loading date "any time" and time "all" among filter options. İrrelevant (n:68), two or more repeated videos (n:3), non-English (n:1) were excluded from study. 40 videos were watched by two independent observers. The number of views, duration, who uploaded, like and dislike numbers of the videos were recorded in the form that prepared beforehand. GQS (table 1), JAMA (table 2), Discern (table 3) and VPI scores were calculated. The averages of the values recorded by the two observers were recorded on the form. RESULTS Of the 40 videos included in the study, 23 (57.5%) were informative and 17 (42.5%) were educational. 21 (52.5%) of these videos were targeted to patients and 19 (47.5%) to health professionals. 26 (65%) videos were created by healthcare professionals (figure 1). When the features of the 40 videos included in the study were examined, one video has the JAMA score of 4 and five video has the GQS score of 5. The average scores of all videos on the quality scales are given in table 4. The VPI average of the videos included in the study was found to be 0.91 ± 0.11. CONCLUSIONS Although it was not statistically significant, the number of views and likes of the informative videos were higher than educational videos, but the average of the GQS, JAMA, DISCERN, and VPI scores of the educational videos were higher in our study. Although the number of views and likes of the videos for patients were higher, this difference was not statistically significant. The VPI average was statistically significantly higher in the videos targeting to patients than the videos targeting to health professionals.

Few Data

Abstract Introduction: Older small breed dogs are considered at risk for heart failure secondary to chronic mitral valve disease. However, few data are available on the onset of this disease in such dogs. This study was performed to determine if auscultation alone can be used to eliminate clinically relevant mitral valve regurgitation seen in echocardiography in Dachshund dogs. Material and Methods: Clinical and echocardiographic data were obtained from 107 dogs without heart murmurs. Results: The study revealed that 63.6% of the dogs had mitral regurgitation. Numbers increased with age and a larger percentage of male Dachshunds were affected than female Dachshunds. Mitral valve prolapse and thickening were mild, and the regurgitant area inextensive in most dogs. Conclusions: The study shows that mitral valve regurgitation is prevalent (63.6%) in Dachshunds without heart murmurs. Typical lesions often become apparent during echocardiographic examinations in dogs under 5 years of age.

Abstract Background: As technology continues to advance, the internet is becoming increasingly popular. Self-diagnosis and health information seeking online is growing more common and it will be important to understand the influence this may have on the patient-healthcare professional relationship. Methods: A mixed-method systematic review of quantitative, qualitative and mixed method studies concerning the public and healthcare professionals’ perceptions of online self-diagnosis and health information seeking and how this can impact the patient-healthcare professional relationship. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ACM & SCOPUS between 2007 and 2018. Relevant data were extracted, and a thematic analysis was conducted and conceptualised using the Normalisation Process Theory framework. Results: Of 6107 records identified, 25 articles met the review eligibility criteria which included 16 qualitative, 8 quantitative and 1 mixed method study. The findings indicated that patients found the internet as a complementary information source alongside healthcare professionals. Health care professionals were perceived to be the most reliable and valued information source. People feel responsible for their own health and find the internet to be a source that provides information rapidly with accessibility at their convenience. Most healthcare professionals agreed on the importance of collaboration with patients and the need to develop a partnership and shared decision-making process but struggled to find time in the consultation to do so efficiently. Some healthcare professionals felt that the internet was advantageous for patients looking after their own health, while others felt it was due to a lack of trust in their expertise. Patients tended to present information to the healthcare professional to support the therapeutic relationship rather than to challenge it and to become more involved in the decision-making process of their healthcare. Conclusion: The results of this review suggests that patients value healthcare professionals as a source of medical advice more than the internet. While health professionals views were mixed our findings indicate that online health information seeking can potentially improve the patient-healthcare professional relationship as patients reported they usually conducted an online search to form a partnership with the healthcare professional as opposed to trying to prove them wrong.

Over the past 30 years the health framework in which doctors and other healthcare professionals practise has changed relatively little in comparison with the enormous changes seen in transport, manufacturing, and telecommunications (Yellowlees & Brooks, 1999). In Australia, the health system, like others in developed countries worldwide, is deteriorating quickly. Productivity commission reports, parliamentary inquiries, and numerous academic papers describe the current waste and lack of focus on outcomes in our health system (Weyden & Armstrong, 2004), at a time when communities and dedicated health professionals are screaming for the resources to provide acceptable care for their communities (Jackson, 2005).

Abstract Background Institutions, government departments, and healthcare professionals engage in social media because it facilitates reaching a large number of people simultaneously. YouTube provides a platform whereby anyone can upload videos and gain feedback on their content from other users. There are many YouTube videos related to health and science, and many people search YouTube for health-related information. YouTube has been acknowledged as a key public information source in recent crises caused by Zika, H1N1, swine flu, and most recently, COVID-19. Methods YouTube videos were collected from the YouTube Application Programming Interface (API) using the search terms COVID-19, coronavirus, COVID19, and corona. The search was conducted on April 4 and 5, 2020.The initial search found a total of 1084 videos. The second step involved identifying and verifying the videos for their relationship to COVID-19 information and excluding videos that did not relate to COVID-19 or were in a language other than English and Hindi. Results An analysis of YouTube videos covering COVID-19, uploaded in early 2020, in English and Hindi. The sample comprised 349 videos (n = 334 English). Videos were characterized by contributor, duration, content, and reception (views/likes/dislikes/comments). The majority contained general information, with only 4.01% focusing on symptoms, and 11.17% on treatment and outcomes. Short videos of under 10 minutes’ duration were the most effective. Videos provided by government/health organizations were of the highest quality. 71.63% of videos were uploaded by news channels. Conclusions YouTube may provide a significant resource for the dissemination of information on public health issues like outbreaks of viral infections, and should be utilized by healthcare agencies for this purpose. However, there is currently no way to determine whether a video has been produced or verified by authorized healthcare professionals. This limitation needs to be addressed so that the vital distribution services offered by platforms like YouTube can be fully utilized for increasing understanding of healthcare science, particularly during a crisis such as a pandemic.
