Claims within educational further their accuracy, guided process included fact-checking all claims against current evidence research. Of subcategories, only four categories (cure, article, symptoms, fertility) that at least 50% or greater evidence-based. More commonly, varying degrees evidence-based, mixed, non-evidence-based information, some such surgery, dominated This concerning social can impact real-life decision-making management individuals with Therefore, suggests health communicators, clinicians, scientists, educators, groups trying to engage online need be aware discourses endometriosis, while also ensuring accurate translatable provided.

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim this review is to highlight key published oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocols and post-desensitization strategies for the major food allergens cover important concepts consider when evaluating OIT food-allergic patients. Shared decision-making should help identify patient family values which will influence type evidence-based protocol maintenance strategy use. Recent Findings With emerging as a treatment option, there pressing need patients, physicians, other providers have nuanced understanding management choices available them. There are now randomized controlled trials (RCT) peanut, egg, milk, wheat, reports cohorts patients who undergone tree nuts sesame clinically. current contain significant diversity in terms starting dose, build-up schedule, even product used desensitization. Emerging data can direct long-term on OIT. Summary Based elicited through shared process, an may be selected that balances level desensitization, potential side effects, frequency clinic visits, induce sustained unresponsiveness, among factors. Once dosing reached, most maintain regular exposure allergen remain desensitized. option transition commercial products with equivalent amounts protein dose would simplify process perhaps improve palatability well. Less frequent or decreased provide practical benefits but affect desensitization safety some

Abstract Objective Social media may inform health care decisions among younger patient populations. TikTok is a social platform that allows users to post short‐form videos. This study aimed assess the quality of sinusitis‐related videos on TikTok. Study Design We searched January 29, 2023, for hashtags: #sinusitis, #sinus, #sinusinfection. Setting Internet. Methods The number views/shares per day, uploader type (nonmedical influencer, lay individual, and medical professional) content categories (medical advice, marketing, comedy, lifestyle/acceptability), (educational vs factual) were collected. Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool Audiovisual Material Journal American Medical Association criteria score was used measure understandability, actionability, reliability. Global Quality Scale (GQS) evaluate videos; harm/benefit causative effects. Analyses performed using analysis variance ( α = .05). Results There 221 identified, which garnered over 300 million views 1 shares. Almost half published by nonmedical influencers. When controlling covariates, influencers uploaders more likely have harmful scores, less understandable videos, lower GQS scores compared professionals. Less than posted categorized as educational factual (46.7%); individuals professionals had higher rates (79.9% 83.7%, respectively). Conclusion Most influencer‐posted about sinusitis are inaccurate, despite being portrayed advice/educational. Rhinologists must find modern ways disseminate true disease‐related via combat misinformation.

The field of food allergy has seen tremendous change over the past 5-10 years with seminal studies redefining our approach to prevention and management novel testing modalities in horizon. Early introduction allergenic foods is now recommended, challenging previous paradigm restrictive avoidance. shifted from a passive avoidance active interventions that aim provide protection accidental exposures, decrease allergic reaction severity improve quality life food-allergic patients their families. Additionally, diagnostic tools are making way into clinical practice goal reduce need for challenges assist physicians the-often complex-diagnostic process. With all new developments available choices diagnosis, therapy, shared decision-making become key part medical consultation, enabling make right choice them, based on values preferences. Communication also more complex time, as seeking advice online through social media, but information found may be outdated, incorrect, or lacking context. role allergist evolved embrace above exciting optimal care fits needs.

While therapy is considered both safe effective, families must be informed aforementioned risks, understand them, willing accept hedge these risks being worthwhile outweighed by anticipated through process shared decision-making.

Although use has grown dramatically in the past decade, little is known about its implications for relationships between people health care professionals (HCPs).We aimed systematically review content quality of studies examining what retrieval sharing information by implies their HCPs.We conducted a search MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase PsycINFO CINAHL (EBSCO). Eligible were primary studies; examined use; included adults any type diabetes, cardiovascular diseases that are closely linked obesity, hypertension, or dyslipidemia; reported conditions-HCP when access media. We used Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool version 2018 assess studies, narratively synthesized.Of 3111 screened 17 (0.55%) included. Most (13/17, 76%) low quality. The narrative synthesis identified media, divided into 3 main categories 7 subcategories. These address how peer interactions can influence communication HCPs, discuss advice medical from HCPs discussed illustrated collectively conceptual model.More evidence needed draw conclusions, but findings indicate implicated ways which equip themselves clinical consultations, evaluate provided manage HCPs. Future populations will be raised digital world, likely remain strategy obtaining support However, generally this points relatively immature state research exploring relationships. Better study designs methods conducting generate robust evidence.
