“…Yet those numbers do not tell the entire story when it comes to physician users. A survey of radiologists revealed that while Facebook was the most popular social networking site for general purposes, Twitter was the preferred site for professional use in the United States [22]. Regional anesthesiology is admittedly a different field with different goals, but those observations are worth noting.…”

Purpose of Review This review summarizes the current applications of social media in regional anesthesiology, describes ways that specific platforms may promote growth, and briefly discusses limitations and future directions. Recent findings Although Facebook users outnumber Twitter users, the latter has been better studied in regional anesthesiology and may have the advantages of speed and expansion of reach. Highly tweeted publications are more likely to be cited in the medical literature, and twitter-enhanced journal clubs facilitate communication regarding important articles with international colleagues. In both the United States and internationally, Twitter has been shown to enhance the anesthesiology conference experience, changing communication among attendees and non-attendees. YouTube and podcasts are quickly finding a niche in regional anesthesiology for just-in-time training and continuing professional development. Summary Social media use is rapidly growing in regional anesthesiology, and benefits include global interaction and knowledge translation within the specialty and with the general public.

“…Although, there is an increasing rate for physician participation within social networking and microblog sites (i.e. Facebook and Twitter) [19,21], TN social media posts (as shown in Figure 1) show that majority of information exchange occurs between novice individuals. This puts TN social media data exchange at high risk of low information quality.…”

Rare diseases, affecting approximately 30 million Americans, are often poorly understood by clinicians due to lack of familiarity with the disease and proper research. Patients with rare diseases are often unfavorably treated, especially those with extremely painful chronic orofacial rare disorders. In the absence of structured knowledge, such patients often choose social media to seek help from peers within patient-oriented social media communities thereby generating tremendous amounts of unstructured data daily. We investigate whether we can organize this unstructured data using machine learning to help members of rare communities find relevant information more efficiently in real-time. We chose Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), an extremely painful rare disorder, as our case study and collected 20,000 social media TN posts. We categorized TN posts into Twitter (very short), and Facebook (short, medium, long) datasets based on message length and performed three clustering experiments. Results revealed GSDMM outperformed both K-means and Spherical K-means in clustering Facebook especially for short messages in terms of speed. For long messages, MDS reduction outperformed the PCA when both were used with K-means and Spherical K-means. Our study demonstrated the need for further topic modeling to utilize among high level clusters based on semantic analysis of posts within each cluster.

Neville, P. (2017). Social media and professionalism: a retrospective content analysis of Fitness to Practice cases heard by the GDC concerning social media complaints. British Dental Journal, 223 (5) University of Bristol -Explore Bristol Research General rightsThis document is made available in accordance with publisher policies. Please cite only the published version using the reference above. Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/pure/about/ebr-terms Method: Documentary analysis of social media related FtP cases published on the GDC's website was undertaken. All cases that met the study's inclusion criteria were analysed using a quantitative content analysis framework.Findings: 2.4% of FtP cases published on the GDC website during that period were related to breaches of the social media guidelines. All of the cases investigated were proven and upheld. Most of those named in the complaints were dental nurses and the most common type of complaint was inappropriate Facebook comments.Conclusions: The low incidence rate should be interpreted with caution, being illustrative of the types of issues that might arise rather than the volume. The GDC will need to remain vigilant in this area and ensure that social media awareness training is an active part of CPD for all the dental team.In brief:1. This is the first study to investigate the incidence of social media Fitness to practice (FtP) cases investigated by the GDC since it established social media guidelines in 2013. 2. Documentary analysis of FtP cases from September 2013 to June 2016 revealed that 6 complaints in relation to social media were investigated. This represents 2.4% of FtP cases whose outcome were published by the GDC over that time period. Most of the complaints were made against dental nurses and the most common type of complaint was in relation to inappropriate Facebook comments. 3. While the current number of social media related FtP cases is very low, the nature of the complaints confirms that social media behaviour is a useful measure of (un)professionalism. Social media awareness training should be an integral part of undergraduate and CPD training.
