“…Medical students frequently access various videos in search of their needed information related to different subject topics and these videos are prepared, organized and published on net by different internet video sharing websites ( Mosa et al, 2012 ) Google, YouTube, and eMedicine are becoming medical students’ learning resources ( Akgun et al, 2014 , Alsafi et al, 2013 , Baudains et al, 2013 ). Among various video-sharing websites, YouTube is an American online video-sharing platform created in February 2005, allowing to bring about, watch, like/dislike, disseminate, remark in the form of comments on videos, and get in touch by subscribing to other users.…”

Background Social media has become the fastest growing platform for sharing and retrieving information and knowledge, and YouTube is one of the most popular and growing sources of health and educational information video-sharing website. But, videos on this open platform are not peer-assessed, therefore, the accessible data should be adequately assessed. Till date, no exploration and analysis for assessing the credibility and usefulness of Medical professionalism videos available on YouTube are conducted. Objective To analyze the video sources, contents and quality of YouTube videos about the topic of medical professionalism. Methods A systematic search was accomplished on YouTube videos during the period between March 1, 2020 and March 27, 2020. The phrases as significant words used throughout YouTube web search were ‘Professionalism in Medical Education’, Professionalism in medicine’, ‘Professionalism of medical students’, ‘Professionalism in healthcare’. ‘Teaching professionalism’, ‘Attributes of professionalism’. The basic information collected for each video included author’s/publisher’s name, total number of watchers, likes, dislikes and positive and undesirable remarks. The videos were categorized into educationally useful and useless established on the content, correctness of the knowledge and the advices. Different variables were measured and correlated for the data analysis. YouTube website was searched the using keywords ‘Professionalism in Medical Education’, Professionalism in medicine’, ‘Professionalism of medical students’, ‘Professionalism in healthcare’. ‘Teaching professionalism’, and ‘Attributes of professionalism’. Results After 2 rounds of screening by the subject experts and critical analysis of all the 137 YouTube videos, only 41 (29.92%) were identified as pertinent to the subject matter, i.e., educational type. After on expert viewing these 41 videos established upon our pre-set inclusion/exclusion criteria, only 17 (41.46%) videos were found to be academically valuable in nature. Conclusion Medical professionalism multimedia videos uploaded by the healthcare specialists or organizations on YouTube provided reliable information for medical students, healthcare workers and other professional.

Introduction: Radiology was founded on a technological discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Teleradiology also had its roots in technology dating back to 1947 with the successful transmission of radiographic images through telephone lines. Diagnostic radiology has become the eye of medicine in terms of diagnosing and treating injury and disease. This article documents the empirical foundations of teleradiology. Methods: A selective review of the credible literature during the past decade (2005-2015) was conducted, using robust research design and adequate sample size as criteria for inclusion. Findings: The evidence regarding feasibility of teleradiology and related information technology applications has been well documented for several decades. The majority of studies focused on intermediate outcomes, as indicated by comparability between teleradiology and conventional radiology. A consistent trend of concordance between the two modalities was observed in terms of diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Additional benefits include reductions in patient transfer, rehospitalization, and length of stay.

“…Nicht jedem geläufig ist jedoch, dass innerhalb dieser zunehmenden Nutzung auch gerade der Gesundheitsbereich in den letzten Jahren sehr hohe und über-durchschnittliche Zuwachsraten aufweist. So wurde bereits 2011 von der Hälfte der Erwachsenen in Großbritannien und von mehr als 75 % der Erwachsenen in den USA das Internet konsultiert, wenn eine Information bezüglich Krankenversorgung gesucht wurde [1]. Bereits im Jahr 2004 betrafen 4,5 % aller Google-Anfragen das Gesundheitssystem [2].…”

“…Oder es werden die eigenen Symptome mithilfe der Quellen aus dem Internet eingeordnet, in Foren mit anderen Laien diskutiert und zur eigenverantwortlichen Diagnose oder gar Behandlung eingesetzt, und der Arztbesuch findet nicht mehr statt [1,3]. Dies kann natürlich ungünstige Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen [4], gerade weil die Qualität der Information mal gut und mal irreführend und somit hochgradig variabel ist [3,5,6] Vergleich zu anderen Webseiten (Qualität und Popularität) Die Qualität von medizinischen Webseiten zu beurteilen ist schwierig und oft nur subjektiv möglich.…”
