“…We found similar findings with studies of YouTube videos related to hemodialysis and West Nile virus, which also showed that misleading videos were more popular than useful videos [ 7 – 9 ]. In contrast, we came across several previous studies investigating the quality of YouTube videos on rheumatoid arthritis and varicose veins among others that revealed no difference in the popularity of useful vs. misleading videos [ 14 , 15 ]. Trusting popularity of videos based on engagement metrics is not completely reliable as it differs widely among medical versus non-medical, educated versus uneducated, and rich versus poor population [ 16 ].…”

ObjectiveSocial media has provided an online environment for patients to discuss regarding their health and seek medical information. The primary aim of our study was to analyze the quality of information shared on YouTube regarding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).ResultsMore than half of the videos, 91 (57.23%) had duration of fewer than 5 min. Only 8 (5.03%) videos were rated as highly useful whereas 61 (38.36%) videos were misleading. Interestingly, there was a significant higher (1203.38 ± 395) likes in the misleading group of videos, compared to 162.13 ± 169.63 likes in the very useful group, P = 0.012. Only a small fraction of videos had very useful information on ADHD. There is a need for high-quality, evidence-based, educational videos on ADHD for patient education.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-018-3962-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Given the recent US Food and Drug Administration guidelines [22] and the increasing use of social networking websites as a platform to disseminate experience-based information [21], this approach of combining a targeted literature search with a social media review is both novel and timely. The utilization of YouTube for conveying health information and information pertaining to medical treatments has been previously explored in a number of other therapy areas, such as cardiovascular conditions, prostate cancer, and Alzheimer's disease, with varying results [26][27][28][29][30][31]. However, none of these studies specifically explored whether YouTube searches could be used as a method for collecting patient-centered information to gain insight into the patient disease and treatment experience.…”

“…According to the You-Tube Press statistics, YouTube has over a billion users; nearly a third of all internet users. Furthermore, YouTube has previously been used for conveying health information in a number of therapy areas [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Finally, YouTube was selected because it is a widely used and well-known platform, familiar to a broad range of age groups.…”

Expectations relating to treatment and survival, and factors influencing treatment decisions are not well understood in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia. This study analyzed combined findings from a targeted literature review with patientreported information shared on YouTube to further understand patient perspectives in hematologic cancers and, in particular, acute myeloid leukemia. The targeted literature review included articles concerning patient (aged ≥ 18 years) experiences or perspectives in acute myeloid leukemia or other hematologic cancers. YouTube video selection criteria included patients (aged ≥ 60 years) with self-reported acute myeloid leukemia. In total, 26 articles (13 acute myeloid leukemia-specific and 14 other hematologic cancers, with one relevant to both populations) and 28 videos pertaining to ten unique patients/caregivers were identified. Key concepts reported by patients included the perceived value of survival for achieving personal and/or life milestones, the emotional/psychological distress of their diagnosis, and the uncertainties about life expectancy/prognosis. Effective therapies that could potentially delay progression and extend life were of great importance to patients; however, these were considered in terms of quality-of-life impact and disruption to daily life. Many patients expressed concerns regarding the lack of treatment options, the possibility of side effects, and how their diagnosis and treatment would affect relationships, daily lives, and ability to complete certain tasks. Both data sources yielded valuable and rich information on the patient experience and perceptions of hematologic cancers, in particular for acute myeloid leukemia, and its treatments. Further understanding of these insights could aid discussions between clinicians, patients, and their caregivers regarding treatment decisions, highlight outcomes of importance to patients in clinical studies, and ultimately, inform patient-focused drug development and evaluation.

RESUMEN:La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) es una manera de gestionar que va más allá de las obligaciones legales de las organizaciones, se trata de garantizar un desarrollo sostenible en tres áreas principales: económica, social y medio ambiental. Este artículo analiza la presencia del concepto de RSC en el contenido de los sitios web de las empresas de turismo activo de Andalucía. Teniendo en cuenta que para este tipo de empresas la población escolar es un importante nicho de mercado, cobra especial relevancia saber si éstas comunican sus acciones de RSC. El método de estudio se ha basado en un análisis cuantitativo del contenido semántico de 310 sitios webs de empresas de turismo activo a través de la búsqueda de la palabra clave "Responsabilidad Social Corporativa" y sus sinónimos mediante el motor de búsqueda Google. Los resultados indican una escasa presencia del concepto de la RSC en el contenido web, así como poca visibilidad de acuerdo a su ubicación. La adopción de una gestión desde la RSC contribuiría a la educación integral de niños y jóvenes, y su comunicación efectiva, aportaría un valor añadido para los docentes en la selección de proveedores de actividad física en el medio natural. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad Social Corporativa, desarrollo sostenible, turismo activo, deporte, Educación Física.ABSTRACT: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a management practice that goes beyond organizations legal obligations, it aims to guarantee a sustainable development in three main areas: economic, social and environmental. This article analyses the presence of CSR concept in the content of Andalusian active tourism companies' websites. Taking into account that for this type of business the school population is an important market niche, particular importance is attached to know if companies communicate their CSR actions. The methodology is based on a quantitative analysis of the semantic content of 310 Andalusian active tourism companies' websites through the keyword search "Corporate Social Responsibility" and its synonyms by using Google search engine. The results indicate a scarce presence of the CSR concept within websites content, as well as a low visibility of it according to its location. Adopting a CSR management approach would contribute to a comprehensive education of children and youth, and its effective communication would add value to teachers' decision when selecting an outdoor physical activity provider.
