Summary
This study analyzed YouTube videos on laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, finding a lack of detailed information despite high view counts. Most videos are short, non-institutional, and focus only on the main surgical procedure.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Procedures
- Digital Health
Background:
- YouTube is a popular source for medical information for both surgeons and the public.
- The quality and utility of information on surgical procedures, specifically laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, on YouTube are not well-defined.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the quality and benefits of information regarding laparoscopic pyloromyotomy available on YouTube.
- To analyze the characteristics of YouTube videos related to this surgical procedure.
Main Methods:
- A YouTube search was conducted using the keyword "laparoscopic pyloromyotomy."
- Videos were reviewed by two surgeons to evaluate content, excluding unrelated videos, presentations, and duplicates.
- Data collected included video source, HD quality, country of origin, language, upload year, views, and duration.
Main Results:
- Out of 471 videos, 34 were relevant to laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, with 8 institutional and 26 private uploads.
- Most videos were in English, uploaded between 2007-2016, with an average duration of 2.55 minutes.
- A significant lack of detailed information was noted, with most videos offering only brief descriptions.
Conclusions:
- One-quarter of analyzed laparoscopic pyloromyotomy videos on YouTube are from institutional sources.
- English-language videos are most common, averaging 2.5 minutes in duration with over 2500 views.
- The majority of these surgical videos concentrate on the primary aspects of the procedure, indicating a need for more comprehensive content.

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Plant tissues are collections of similar cells performing related functions. Different plant tissues will have their own specialized roles and can be combined with other tissues to form organs such as flowers, fruit, stem, and leaves. Two major types of plant tissue include meristematic and permanent tissue.

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...
