“…Due to social isolation during the pandemic, virtual platforms, like Instagram, have gained momentum for knowledge dissemination. Considered an innovative way of sharing information and to overcome physical and social barriers (Wong, Liu & Sebaratnam, 2019), Instagram has great potential to share knowledge about mental health among specialists and the general population (Carlyle, Guidry, Dougherty & Burton, 2019). Moreover, it is an accessible and easy to use platform,…”

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of coping strategies to face the stress generated by the worldwide crisis of the new coronavirus became mandatory. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to analyze multimedia resources on video format for the digital platform Instagram as health education strategies to help puerperal women and their support networks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive methodological study based on the evaluation of content validity criterion by 21 postnatal judges, with an average age of 29.38 years. Most of them lived in the southeastern region of Brazil (n = 20) and had higher education (52.38%), followed by high school (38.09%). Content Validity Coefficients (CVC) ≥ 0.80 were adopted to validate language clarity, relevance, pertinence, and presentation of the videos. All CVC of the from the Series “Breastfeeding” were satisfactory between ≥ 0.85 and 1. With the exception of the 4th video (CVC ≥ 0.73) the videos from the Series “Neonatal Care” obtained CVC between ≥0,86 and 1. These results indicate that the target population considered the videos relevant, adequate, easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing. Accordingly, multimedia resources in video format can be considered a valid tool for the educational health proposal. Thus, the videos could help women during the postpartum period and their families to cope with the stress from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Such fulminant presentations have rarely been described in immunocompetent individuals without significant comorbidities. 14 This may indicate that a delay in appropriate antimicrobial therapy could be a risk factor for severe disease. Despite Q fever causing fulminant hepatitis and liver failure in severe cases (as demonstrated in this case), no cases requiring liver transplantation have been documented.…”

Coxiella burnetii infection is not known to involve directly the kidneys. Kidney injury associated with Q fever usually manifests in the setting of chronic infection or endocarditis with development of immune complex deposition. Acute kidney injury (AKI) in the context of acute Q fever infection may be more pathologically heterogeneous. We describe two cases of severe AKI secondary to acute Q fever infection, each with marked differences in pathological characteristics, and clinical course.

“…This was obtained by combining the answers "strongly agree" and "agree" from Table 1 -hypothesis 3 and the post-exposure feedback questionnaire results (95%). More platforms would further facilitate the communication between students, help disseminate evidence on trending and rapidly changing subjects (18), share scholarly information especially in visually rich specialties (19) and measure the public interest towards one's academic accomplishments (20).…”

Background: Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were remarkable changes in people’s lifestyle with a tendency to spend more time on social media rendering its platforms essential in all fields. This study was designed to look at the potential role of Instagram as a learning tool in neurology among Saint Joseph University (Beirut, Lebanon) medical students.Methods: This prospective study was spread over the period of 3 months, between the 10th of October and the 10th of December 2020. The target population was the medical students at Saint Joseph University (Beirut, Lebanon) in their 3rd to 7th academic year. The purpose was to evaluate the impact of the Instagram page called “La Synapse” on the students’ answers to ten neurology multiple choice questions (MCQs) before and after their exposure to the page’s content. The evaluation was done through a questionnaire conceived on Google Forms that also covered demographical characteristics, social media usage for educational purposes and their feedback post-exposure. In addition, we intended to evaluate the students’ opinion on using social media as a learning tool. The results were analyzed by comparing the pre-exposure and post-exposure data.Results: A total of 180 students were enrolled in the pre-exposure questionnaire (40% of the entire population) and 107 (59.44%) out of the initial group participated in the post-exposure questionnaire. Most students (81%) already used social media for educational purposes with YouTube being the most popular (51%). After exposure, 95% said to have profited from the experience but the junior students benefited more than the seniors. “Mnemonics” were the most practical learning strategy (44%) according to the participants. Regarding the MCQs, an improvement was found in seven out of the ten questions, with three having a statistically significant upswing (p < 0,05).Conclusions: The Instagram page “La Synapse” was an efficient tool for transmitting neurological information to medical students. These results should encourage the development of future prospective studies to better explore the role of social media in medical education.
