    Expanding the Legacy: The National Library of Medicine Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine.
    Jeffrey S Reznick, Kenneth M Koyle.
      In our 2021 article published in this journal, we described the development, historical significance, and impact of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Michael E. DeBakey fellowship in the History of Medicine. This article focuses on a key part of the fellowship, the NLM Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine, by explaining how this annual program advances historical scholarship and promotes awareness of DeBakey's legacy and his support of the world's largest biomedical library, whose collections are appreciated by researchers worldwide. The annual DeBakey Lecture provides a platform for a selected DeBakey fellow to share and expand on their fellowship research, connecting that research and the fellow's story with a global audience through a videocast, a permanently and freely available archived lecture, a research-based blog post, and an associated blog interview. The lectures have covered topics about DeBakey himself, his influence on the world, and new research that reflects his historical interests. The library's support of this impactful program, like the Michael E. DeBakey fellowship overall, testifies to its commitment to expanding the legacy of DeBakey hand in hand with its commitment to serving scientists and society in the 21st century.

    College students' perceptions on sense of belonging and inclusion at the academic library during COVID-19.
    Jung Mi Scoulas.
      This paper demonstrates how university students experienced and perceived inclusion in a public research university library context during COVID-19. Both quantitative (n = 3379) and qualitative data (n = 575) from the 2021 student survey were examined to explore students' library experiences and their perceptions of inclusion. The quantitative data revealed that students using both the physical and online library had the greatest sense of belonging, whereas students who never used any library resources had the least sense of belonging. The qualitative data further revealed that when students used the in-person library space they felt a sense of belonging, as well as feeling accepted and valued; on the other hand, it was hard for them to judge inclusion when they had not been in the library due to COVID-19. This finding suggests how academic libraries need to prepare for the hybrid environment (in-person and online) so that students using online resources and services feel connected to the library.

    "Who says I am coping": The emotional affect of New Jersey academic librarians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Linda Salvesen, Cara Berg.
      The COVID-19 pandemic introduced a seismic shift to academic libraries. The state of New Jersey, one of the earliest affected regions in the United States, mandated the closure of all higher education institutions in March 2020, followed by a partial reopening of several campuses in Fall 2020. With the mandated closure and subsequent reopening, librarians needed to adjust their workflow during a time of high uncertainty and stress. Conducted in Fall 2020, this study reports on the emotional affect of New Jersey academic librarians working in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to provide a snapshot of the experiences and emotions of academic librarians in this region. In addition to gathering data such as their position roles and library policies, written responses were also collected describing their experiences and emotions. All responses to these open-ended questions were categorized and coded according to similar themes. Common trends in the responses, as well as similarities with previous research on emotional labor events and occupational burnout, are discussed. These results have implications for anyone working in an academic library during a pandemic, or even simply working remotely in an academic library.

    The fake news wave: Academic libraries' battle against misinformation during COVID-19.
    Siviwe Bangani.
      This study employed qualitative research methods to establish the contribution of academic libraries to the fight against fake news in South Africa. The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted to the explosion of fake news in social media platforms and other Internet sites to the detriment of efforts to curb the spread of the disease. With encouragement from library associations and other library bodies and as custodians of information, academic librarians have had no choice but to contribute to the fight against the infodemic including by raising awareness, providing credible information, collection development and research support, and through sharing best practice in conferences and other forums. The results of this study affirm the role of libraries in South Africa and other countries in the fight against fake news. This study brought the perspective of the global South to the discourse about fake news and outlined the responses of academic libraries to the COVID-19 infodemic. The results of this study are an affirmation of the role played by libraries in the fight against fake news in general and specifically during times of crises.

    Polish university libraries social networking services during the COVID-19 pandemic spring term lockdown.
    Grzegorz Gmiterek.
      During the spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, University libraries made available digital content of varying types. This article assesses the scope and breadth of content published by 18 Polish university libraries, how libraries compared in their approach to using social media, and the level of engagement and collaboration with patrons during a time when the physical library was closed. Data collection consisted of gathering social networking site information as used by Polish university libraries with the Fanpage Karma tool. The Fanpage Karma tool allowed the researcher to analyse and compare the fan pages of individual university library social networking sites. The tool simplifies the process to calculate key variables such as the number of user reactions to the library content; the number of posts, comments, likes, and dislikes; the average daily number of posts made; the most popular text, images, videos, links; and the kind of hashtags used by librarians. Findings indicate Polish university libraries most frequently used Facebook during the lockdown followed by Instagram and Twitter. To a much smaller extent, libraries also used YouTube. Not all Polish university libraries made equal use of social media during the lockdown despite the availability of content and ease of use.

    Expert searchers identified time, team, technology and tension as challenges when carrying out supplementary searches for systematic reviews: A thematic network analysis.
    Simon Briscoe, Rebecca Abbott, G J Melendez-Torres.
      BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews require detailed planning of complex processes which can present logistical challenges. Understanding these logistical challenges can help with planning and execution of tasks OBJECTIVES: To describe the perspectives of expert searchers on the main logistical challenges when carrying out supplementary searches for systematic reviews, in particular, forward citation searching and web searching.METHODS: Qualitative interviews were undertaken with 15 experts on searching for studies for systematic reviews (e.g. information specialists) working in health and social care research settings. Interviews were undertaken by video-call between September 2020 and June 2021. Data analysis used thematic network analysis.
    RESULTS: We identified three logistical challenges of using forward citation searching and web searching which were organised under the global theme of 'tension': time, team and technology. Several subthemes were identified which supported the organising themes, including allocating time, justifying time and keeping to time; reviewer expectations and contact with review teams; and access to resources and reference management.
    CONCLUSION: Forward citation searching and web searching are logistically challenging search methods for a systematic review. An understanding of these challenges should encourage expert searchers and review teams to maintain open channels of communication, which should also facilitate improved working relationships.

    LiSA: an assisted literature search pipeline for detecting serious adverse drug events with deep learning.
    Vincent Martenot, Valentin Masdeu, Jean Cupe, Faustine Gehin, Margot Blanchon, Julien Dauriat, Alexander Horst, Michael Renaudin, Philippe Girard, Jean-Daniel Zucker.
      INTRODUCTION: Detecting safety signals attributed to a drug in scientific literature is a fundamental issue in pharmacovigilance. The constant increase in the volume of publications requires the automation of this tedious task, in order to find and extract relevant articles from the pack. This task is critical, as serious Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) still account for a large number of hospital admissions each year.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to develop an augmented intelligence methodology for automatically identifying relevant publications mentioning an established link between a Drug and a Serious Adverse Event, according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) definition of seriousness.
    METHODS: The proposed pipeline, called LiSA (for Literature Search Application), is based on three independent deep learning models supporting a precise detection of safety signals in the biomedical literature. By combining a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) algorithms and a modular architecture, the pipeline achieves a precision of 0.81 and a recall of 0.89 at sentences level in articles extracted from PubMed (either abstract or full-text). We also measured that by using LiSA, a medical reviewer increases by a factor of 2.5 the number of relevant documents it can collect and evaluate compared to a simple keyword search. In the interest of re-usability, emphasis was placed on building a modular pipeline allowing the insertion of other NLP modules to enrich the results provided by the system, and extend it to other use cases. In addition, a lightweight visualization tool was developed to analyze and monitor safety signal results.
    CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the generic pipeline and the visualization tool proposed in this article allows for efficient and accurate monitoring of serious adverse drug reactions from the literature and can easily be adapted to similar pharmacovigilance use cases. To facilitate reproducibility and benefit other research studies, we also shared a first benchmark dataset for Serious Adverse Drug Events detection.

    Database coverage and their use in systematic reviews regarding spinal manipulative therapy: an exploratory study.
    Martin Nørregård Eybye, Simon Dyrløv Madsen, Anders Nikolai Ørsted Schultz, Casper Glissmann Nim.
      BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews (SRs) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered one of the most reliable study types. Through a systematic and thorough literature search, researchers aim to collect all research relevant to their purpose. The selection of databases can be challenging and depend on the topic of interest. The Cochrane Handbook suggests searching at least the following three databases: Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and EMBASE. However, this is not always sufficient for reviews on the musculoskeletal field in general. This study aimed to examine the frequency and choice of databases used by researchers in SRs of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). Secondly, to analyze the RCTs included in the SRs to determine the optimal combination of databases needed to conduct efficient literature searches for SRs of SMT.METHODS: SRs investigating the effect of SMT on any patient-reported outcome measure were identified through searches in PubMed and Epistemonikos (all entries till date of search February 25, 2022). For each SR, databases searched and included RCTs were collected. RCTs were searched individually in nine databases (Cochrane Library, MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Web of Science, Index to Chiropractic Literature, PEDro, and AMED). Coverage rates were calculated using the number of retrieved RCTs by the database or combinations of databases divided by the total number of RCTs.
    RESULTS: Eighty-five SRs published met the inclusion criteria, and 442 unique RCTs were retrieved. The most frequently searched database was MEDLINE/PubMed. Cochrane Library had the highest overall coverage rate and contained the third most unique RCTs. While a 100% retrieval was not possible, as 18 RCTs could not be retrieved in any of the nine databases, the combination of Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and PEDro retrieved all possible RCTs with a combined coverage rate of 95.9%.
    CONCLUSIONS: For SRs on SMT, we recommend using the combination suggested by the Cochrane Handbook of Cochrane Library, MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and in addition, PEDro and Index to Chiropractic Literature. Google Scholar might be used additionally as a tool for searching gray literature and quality assurance.

    Application of text mining to the development and validation of a geographic search filter to facilitate evidence retrieval in Ovid MEDLINE: An example from the United States.
    Antoinette Cheung, Evan Popoff, Shelagh M Szabo.
      BACKGROUND: Given the increasing volume of published research in bibliographic databases, efficient retrieval of evidence is crucial and represents an opportunity to integrate novel techniques such as text mining.OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a geographic search filter for identifying research from the United States (US) in Ovid MEDLINE.
    METHODS: US and non-US citations were collected from bibliographies of evidence-based reviews. Citations were partitioned by US/non-US status and randomly divided to a training and testing set. Using text mining, common one- and two-word terms in title/abstract fields were identified, and frequencies compared between US/non-US citations.
    RESULTS: Common US-related terms included (as ratio of frequency in US/non-US citations) US populations and geographic terms [e.g., 'Americans' (15.5), 'Baltimore' (20.0)]. Common non-US terms were non-US geographic terms [e.g., 'Japan' (0.04), 'French' (0.05)]. A search filter was developed with 98.3% sensitivity and 82.7% specificity.
    DISCUSSION: This search filter will streamline the identification of evidence from the US. Periodic updates may be necessary to reflect changes in MEDLINE's controlled vocabulary.
    CONCLUSION: Text mining was instrumental to the development of this search filter. A novel technique generated a gold standard set comprising >20,000 citations. This method may be adapted to develop subsequent geographic search filters.

    Design, realization, and user evaluation of the ARCA system for exploring a digital library.
    Eleonora Bernasconi, Miguel Ceriani, Massimo Mecella, Tiziana Catarci.
      This paper presents ARCA, a software system that enables semantic search and exploration over a book catalog. The main purpose of this work is twofold: to propose a general paradigm for a semantic enrichment workflow and to evaluate a visual approach to information retrieval based on extracted information and existing knowledge graphs. ARCA has been designed and implemented following a user-centered design approach. Two different releases of the system have incrementally and iteratively developed and evaluated. The first release has evaluated the quality and usefulness of the extracted data. The second release, whose design was a refinement based on the previous evaluation results, was assessed by several users. Moreover, a comparative test with other information retrieval systems was conducted in order to study the potential added-value of the system. ARCA is employed in a real editorial scenario to visually search and explore the books of a publishing house.

    Examining the Public's Most Frequently Asked Questions About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Appraising Online Information About Treatment.
    Samuel Shepard, Nicholas B Sajjadi, Jake X Checketts, Griffin Hughes, Ryan Ottwell, Brian Chalkin, Micah Hartwell, Matt Vassar.
      BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy. Patients often search online for health information regarding common musculoskeletal complaints. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use language processing information from Google to assess the content of CTS frequently asked questions (FAQs) searched online and the transparency and quality of online CTS information.METHODS: On March 11, 2021, we searched Google for 3 terms "carpal tunnel syndrome treatment," "carpal tunnel syndrome surgical treatment," and "carpal tunnel syndrome non-surgical treatment" until a minimum of 100 FAQs and their answer links were extracted from each search. We used Rothwell classification to categorize the FAQs. The Journal of the American Medical Association's benchmark criteria were used to assess information transparency. Information quality was assessed using the Brief DISCERN tool.
    RESULTS: Our Google search returned 124 unique FAQs. Fifty-six (45.2%) were value based and most were related to the evaluation of treatment options (45/56, 80.4%). The most common source type was medical practices (26.6%). Nearly half of the answer sources (45.9%) were found to be lacking in transparency. One-way analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in mean Brief DISCERN scores among the 5 source types, F(4, 119) = 5.93, P = .0002, with medical practices averaging the worst score (13.73/30).
    CONCLUSIONS: Patients are most commonly searching Google to gain information regarding CTS treatment options. Online sources such as medical practices should use widely accepted rubrics for ensuring transparency and quality prior to publishing CTS information.

    Evaluation of the quality and accuracy of breast cancer knowledge among persian language websites.
    Sadaf Alipour, Shekoofeh Nikooei, Reza Hosseinpour, Mohammad Javad Yavari Barhaghtalab.
      INTRODUCTION: The internet has become a powerful worldwide information source that revolutionized access to knowledge, especially in the fields of health and medicine (health knowledge). Therefore, providing high-quality, accurate, reliable, and relevant information on dependable websites is a possible way of providing the patient with needed information and, thus, achieving the benefits of informed patients regarding outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and accuracy of breast cancer knowledge among Persian language websites.METHODS: Two search engines were searched in the Persian language about breast cancer. The first 30 websites were selected for further evaluation based on the completeness, correctness, transparency, and accessibility of health knowledge. The DISCERN instrument was used to assess the quality of the Persian language websites on this issue.
    RESULTS: Among the 30 websites, about 23% of websites provide completely correct information and about 30% provide mostly correct information. Sixty percent of the websites provided author information, and 46% of them had a healthcare professional or expert as the author. Sixty percent of the websites stated the creation date on the pages, while 40% of them did not provide any health knowledge. Scores on accessibility were always easy for most of the websites. Based on the quality rating system of DISCERN, about 60% of the websites were presented as very poor.
    CONCLUSION: Website rankings enable healthcare professionals to identify and signpost patients to reliable up-to-date websites to ensure that patients receive high-quality knowledge. This review has provided evidence of inadequate and inaccurate health knowledge about breast cancer on the Persian language websites. This issue requires further investigation to understand the barriers and solutions available to provide reliable information about breast cancer and how this information affects the patient's outcomes.

    Social Media as a Source of Knowledge about Gene Therapy for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
    Magdalena Tkaczuk, Dawid M Zakrzewski, Maria Król, Marta Zawadzka, Przemysław M Waszak, Maria Mazurkiewicz-Bełdzińska.
      Social media is one of the most common sources of medical information. We aimed to evaluate the information contained on websites, including social media and descriptions of fundraisers, in terms of the reliability of knowledge about SMA and gene therapy with onasemnogen abeparvovec. We used a set of available online links found using the Newspointtool. Initially, 1525 texts were included in the study, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 112 texts were qualified for analysis using the DISCERN scale and the set of questions prepared by the authors. We observed that most of the texts had poor (48.65%) and medium (27.03%) reliability in the final reliability assessment. All the texts selected for the study were related to gene therapy, although few contained key information about it. In addition, the authors of the entries used various words and phrases that influenced the readers' perceptions of the text. Of the analyzed sources, 68.8% had an emotional component. Social media is a poor source of information about gene therapy for SMA in Poland. The analyzed texts do not provide a full and complete description of the SMA problem. However, it is important to remember that the Internet is a changing source of information and will hopefully contain more relevant entries in the future.

    Readability of online monkeypox patient education materials: Improved recognition of health literacy is needed for dissemination of infectious disease information.
    Jessica C Frost, Alexander J Baldwin.
      BACKGROUND: Health literacy is key to navigating the current global epidemic of misinformation and inaccuracy relating to healthcare. The American Medical Association (AMA) suggests health information should be written at the level of American sixth grade. With the monkeypox outbreak being declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in July 2022, we sought to assess the readability of online patient education materials (PEMs) relating to monkeypox to see if they are at the target level of readability.METHODS: A search was conducted on Google.com using the search term 'Monkeypox'. The top 50 English language webpages with patient education materials (PEMs) relating to monkeypox were compiled and categorised by country of publication and URL domain. Readability was assessed using five readability tools: Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), Gunning Fog Index (GFI), Coleman-Liau Index (CLI), and, Simple Measure of Gobbledygook Index (SMOG). Unpaired t-test for URL domain, and one-way ANOVA for country were performed to determine influence on readability.
    RESULTS: Three of the five tools (FRES, GFI, CLI) identified no webpages that met the target readability score. The FKGL and SMOG tools identified one (2%) and two (4%) webpages respectively that met the target level. County and URL domain demonstrated no influence on readability.
    CONCLUSION: Online PEMs relating to monkeypox are written above the recommended reading level. Based on the previously established effect of health literacy, this is likely exacerbating health inequalities. This study highlights the need for readability to be considered when publishing online PEMs.

    The Evaluation of Videos about Branched-Chain Amino Acids Supplements on YouTube™: A Multi-Approach Study.
    Elif Günalan, Saadet Turhan, Betül Yıldırım Çavak, İrem Kaya Cebioğlu, Özge Çonak.
      Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are one of the most controversial ergogenic aids in terms of effectiveness and safety. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of BCAA supplements related to English videos on YouTube™ and to synthesize with the sentiment-emotion analysis of comments on videos. The content analysis of the information on videos was evaluated with the use of DISCERN, Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). In addition, word cloud and sentiment and emotional analysis of comments in videos were performed with the R package. As a result, the mean ± standard error values of DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores of all videos were 29.27 ± 1.97, 1.95 ± 0.12, and 2.13 ± 0.17, respectively. It was found that advertisement-free videos have a significantly higher DISCERN and GQS score than advertisement-included videos (p < 0.05). A moderately significant positive correlation was determined between DISCERN score of video content and the positive sentiment of video comments (rs: 0.400, p = 0.002). In conclusion, it was determined that BCAA-related YouTube™ videos have mostly very poor quality in terms of content and that videos with higher quality may receive positive comments from viewers according to the DISCERN instrument.

    YouTube videos related to diabetic retinopathy: Are they good enough?
    A F AlBloushi, M A Abouammoh.
      BACKGROUND: YouTube has remained the most commonly used online platform and is increasingly used for health education. Although videos related to diabetic retinopathy on YouTube are abundant, there is still a paucity of research regarding the detailed analysis of their quality and content.PURPOSE: This study aims to assess the content, sources, and overall usefulness of information published on the YouTube platform regarding diabetic retinopathy (DR).
    METHODS: The YouTube website was systematically searched using the keyword "diabetic retinopathy" between August 14 and September 29, 2021.
    RESULTS: A total of 465 videos related to DR were included in our analysis. Of these videos, 215 (46.4%) videos were released from the United States. The highest number of videos were uploaded by medical websites (32.9%), followed by hospitals/medical centers (23%). Educational videos on DR including basic information, complications, treatment, staging and retinal photographs were the most frequent category. Videos containing basic information, complications and videos with animation on DR received the highest numbers of views (2,768,062, 2,361,999, and 1,946,586, respectively). Videos uploaded by hospitals/medical centers received a high mean number of views, likes, and dislikes. Overall, 72.5% of videos on DR published on YouTube were considered largely useful.
    CONCLUSIONS: Videos published by medical websites, hospitals/medical centers and those pertaining to basic information, complications, and animation on DR were the most attractive. Hence, these types of videos can be targeted to increase awareness about DR.

    Assessing the quality of YouTube™ videos on fixed dental implant home-care and maintenance protocols.
    Özlem Özişçi.
      OBJECTIVES: The implant's supporting structure differs from that of the teeth when plaque accumulates, making it more prone to inflammation and bone loss. To ensure the implant's longevity, an effective maintenance protocol should be followed. This study aimed to evaluate the information on oral hygiene procedures at home for implant supported fixed prosthesis.METHODS: The keywords 'cleaning dental implant,' 'how to clean dental implant,' and 'dental implant hygiene' used to search for videos on YouTube™. Following the exclusions, two researchers independently analyzed the remaining 100 videos for demographic data and content usefulness.
    RESULTS: In terms of usefulness score distribution, 53.52% of the videos were considered slightly useful, 38.4% moderately useful, and 8.1% very useful. The video content had the least quantity of knowledge about toothpaste choice (11.1%), but the greatest quantity of knowledge on flossing (68.7%).
    CONCLUSIONS: According to the study's findings, there is presently no evidence-based information on YouTube ™on dental implant home care hygiene education. Therefore, dental care professionals should analyze the information's quality and reliability before recommending it to patients.

    Quality assessment and comparison of two- and three-dimensional YouTube videos as additional educational tools for cataract surgery: "METAVERSE".
    Hamidu Hamisi Gobeka, Furkan Fatih Gülyeşil, Zubeyir Yozgat, Mehmet Cem Sabaner.
      BACKGROUND: To compare the content and quality of 3D YouTube videos with 2Ds as additional educational tools for phacoemulsification surgery.METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 2D and side-by-side 3D phacoemulsification videos found on YouTube by searching for "phacoemulsification," "phaco," and "cataract." Data was collected on video length (min), time since upload (days), number of views, likes, dislikes, cataract type, chop technique, and visualization system. Video popularity and interaction were calculated by video power index, interaction index, and viewing rate. Two senior ophthalmologists (SOs) and two ophthalmology residents (ORs) evaluated videos using the DISCERN, global quality score (GQS), and usefulness scoring systems. Inter-rater reliability was assessed using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).
    RESULTS: A total of 457 videos were screened, with 85 in 2D and 85 in 3D deemed appropriate for analysis. 2D videos received significantly more views, likes, dislikes, days since upload, video power index, and viewing rate than 3Ds (p < 0.001). Video length and interaction index in 3D videos were significantly greater than in 2Ds (p < 0.001). All video scoring systems revealed that 3D videos outperformed 2Ds in ORs (p < 0.05). ICC confirmed good inter-rater reliability agreement even at the lowest value (SOs: 0.924, 95% CI, 0.910-0.937; ORs: 0.892, 95% CI, 0.878-0.908).
    CONCLUSIONS: 3D YouTube videos as additional educational tools could help not only SOs but also ORs fully comprehend the breadth and depth of ocular surgeries, particularly phacoemulsification, by improving depth perception. They can also be used to review previously learned procedures, observe new ones, and recall old ones.

    YouTube and science: models for research impact.
    Abdul Rahman Shaikh, Hamed Alhoori, Maoyuan Sun.
      Video communication has been rapidly increasing over the past decade, with YouTube providing a medium where users can post, discover, share, and react to videos. There has also been an increase in the number of videos citing research articles, especially since it has become relatively commonplace for academic conferences to require video submissions. However, the relationship between research articles and YouTube videos is not clear, and the purpose of the present paper is to address this issue. We created new datasets using YouTube videos and mentions of research articles on various online platforms. We found that most of the articles cited in the videos are related to medicine and biochemistry. We analyzed these datasets through statistical techniques and visualization, and built machine learning models to predict (1) whether a research article is cited in videos, (2) whether a research article cited in a video achieves a level of popularity, and (3) whether a video citing a research article becomes popular. The best models achieved F1 scores between 80% and 94%. According to our results, research articles mentioned in more tweets and news coverage have a higher chance of receiving video citations. We also found that video views are important for predicting citations and increasing research articles' popularity and public engagement with science.

    What do TikTok videos offer us about dental implants treatment?
    Tuğçe Paksoy, Seval Ceylan Şen, Gülbahar Ustaoğlu, Duygu Göller Bulut.
      OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality, source, popularity, visibility and reliability of Tiktok videos on dental implants.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Tiktok search for dental implants was performed English language setting. Search hashtags were determined as "#dentalimplants," "#dentalimplantsurgery," "#dentalimplantstreatment," and "#implantdentistry." 148 of the 300 videos watched were included the study. Two periodontologists scored the videos for quality, reliability, utility, visibility and popularity. Videos' quality was evaluated using the Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the DISCERN tools, by categorizing them through quality of communication, duration, likes and dislikes, views, source and video type of each video were recorded.
    RESULTS: There was significant positive correlation between "GQS" and "Total DISCERN" (Rho: 0.636) and "Duration in seconds" (Rho: 0.343) (p<0.05). For Total DISCERN, averages of the 31-45 seconds (p=0.010) and 46 seconds and above (p=.018) groups were higher than the averages of the 0-15 seconds group and average of the Educational group was higher than the average of the Testimonial, Product Advertisement and Entertainment groups (p=0.001, p=0.033 and p=0.041). Healthcare professionals mostly upload GQS 2 score videos and Hospital/Universities mostly upload GQS 2 and 3 score videos (p<0.05). Testimonial videos mostly receive GQS2 score videos and the 'Videos rich in supplementary visuals' quality also receives the most GQS4 score videos (p<0.05).
    CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrate that TikTok videos provide low to moderate quality information about dental implants and that TikTok may not provide reliable information about dental implants.

    Seeking health information online among U.S. pregnant women: findings from the 2009-2018 National Health Interview Surveys.
    Shih-Han Hsiao, Hsing-Yu Hsu, Steven R Erickson, Tsui-Shan Lu, Chung-Hsuen Wu.
      Seeking health information online has gained in popularity. However, few studies have investigated seeking health information online among U.S. pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns, trends, and characteristics of pregnant women in the U.S. who seek health information online. We obtained data from the National Health Interview Survey from 2009 to 2018. The study population consisted of women aged 18 to 49 years who self-reported being pregnant. Complex survey weighting and Chi-squared tests were used to evaluate trends and compare characteristics of online users and nonusers. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate characteristics associated with seeking health information online. Significantly more pregnant women sought health information online in 2018 compared to 2009 (72.9 percent, standard error [SE]: 3.3, 95 percent confidence interval [CI]: 66.3 percent-79.5 percent, vs. 60.7 percent, SE: 3.3, 95 percent CI: 54.0 percent-67.4 percent, p < .01). Pregnant women who were identified as white or Black, who had more education, and who had higher incomes were significantly more likely to report seeking health information online. Healthcare providers should actively initiate conversations to address the safety, accuracy, and reliability of online health information for their pregnant patients.

    Keyword Extraction: A Modern Perspective.
    Tadashi Nomoto.
      The goal of keyword extraction is to extract from a text, words, or phrases indicative of what it is talking about. In this work, we look at keyword extraction from a number of different perspectives: Statistics, Automatic Term Indexing, Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and the emerging Neural paradigm. The 1990s have seen some early attempts to tackle the issue primarily based on text statistics [13, 17]. Meanwhile, in IR, efforts were largely led by DARPA's Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) project [2]. In this contribution, we discuss how past innovations paved a way for more recent developments, such as LDA, PageRank, and Neural Networks. We walk through the history of keyword extraction over the last 50 years, noting differences and similarities among methods that emerged during the time. We conduct a large meta-analysis of the past literature using datasets from news media, science, and medicine to business and bureaucracy, to draw a general picture of what a successful approach would look like.
