The aims of this study were to determine the following: first, are there educationally useful videos of parents of children with autism sharing their experiences? Second, do any of the data related to videos help in identifying useful videos? And third, what do posted comments tell us? YouTube was searched for videos of parents sharing their experiences. The following parameters were collected: title, creator, URL, duration, number of viewers, likes, dislikes, comments, days on YouTube, and country. Based on agreed-upon criteria, videos were divided independently into educationally useful and non-useful categories. A critical thematic analysis of comments was conducted. A total of 180 videos were finally identified, of which 106 (59%) provided useful information, scoring 15.3 ± 0.7 (mean ± SD); 74 (41%) were determined to be not educationally useful, scoring 8.6 ± 2.1. The differences in scores were significant (p < 0.001), but there were no significant differences between the useful and non-useful groups in terms of video parameters. No correlation was found between scores and any of the videos' parameters. In conclusion, there are videos that can be used as educational resources. The videos' parameters did not differentiate between useful and non useful. Useful videos were mostly created by professional societies and by parents. The study reflects the emerging role of YouTube in sharing experiences.
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) are rare and aggressive pediatric malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) that occur within the brain. The majority of these tumors occur in the cerebellum. Only 45 cases of adults with AT/RTs have been reported in the literature to date. We present a case of sellar and suprasellar AT/RT in a 40-yearold female patient with this rare entity. To our knowledge, this is the 14th case of an adult-onset AT/RT in the sellar and suprasellar region.
Introduction:Sharing personal experiences and survival mechanisms about challenging conditions such as Autism on YouTube may be useful to other parents, educators, psychologists, and policy makers.Objectives and aims:This study aimed at analysing YouTube videos of parents sharing their experiences about Autism and text comments posted by viewers.Methods:During the period from 15 November to 15 December, 2012. YouTube was researched by three assessors for videos covering parents sharing their experiences about Autism. Only relevant videos in the English language were identified. For each video, the following information were collected: title, authors, duration, number of viewers, and total number of days on YouTube. Using criteria comprising content, technical authority and pedagogy parameters, videos were rated independently by three assessors and grouped into educationally useful and non-useful videos. A critical thematic analysis of comments posted on was conducted.Results:A total of 834 videos were screened and only 128 were found to be relevant to parents sharing their experience. Further analysis revealed that 105 (82.1%) provided useful information; scoring (mean ± SD, 15.5 ± 0.94). The other videos 23 (17.9%) were not useful educationally, scoring (11.9 ±2.87). The differences between these two categories were significant; p <0.001. An aggregate of 2393 text comments was posted to useful videos and 951 to non-useful videos.Conclusions:Despite the variability in the quality of YouTube videos, there are good videos covering parents’ experiences about Autism that can be used by other parents, publics, and professional bodies. The comments made by viewers reflect the importance of the emerging social media tools such as YouTube in sharing experiences.
Patient: Female, 71-year-old Final Diagnosis: Giant cell carcinoma Symptoms: Vaginal bleeding Medication:— Clinical Procedure: Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy • hysterectomy • lymph node excision Specialty: Obstetrics and Gynecology • Pathology Objective: Rare disease Background: Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is one of the rare variants of endometrial carcinoma, with a very limited number of reported cases and limited follow-up data. The purpose of this case report is to present yet another example of endometrial giant cell carcinoma, discuss its differential diagnosis and management course, and review all previously reported cases. Case Report: We report a case of a 71-year-old woman who presented with vaginal bleeding. Her laboratory investigations were within normal limits except for her glycated hemoglobin, which was 10%. Ultrasound and computed tomography scans showed an endometrial mass invading the myometrium. Microscopically, the tumor is comprised almost exclusively of multinucleated giant cells. The patient underwent a total robotic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymph nodes dissection, and she is currently undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy. Conclusions: Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare diagnosis that can be established by histopathological examination after excluding the other common giant cell-rich lesions that may occur in the endometrium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
