Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.1K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

6.6K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

4.3K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

53.6K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

What is Cancer?

14.0K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Social Media Analytics

Background:

  • Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in the US.
  • Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening (LCS) reduces mortality by 20% compared to chest X-rays.
  • Despite proven benefits, LCS uptake remains low among high-risk smokers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate laypeople's emotions regarding LCS using Twitter data.
  • To identify prevalent topics discussed in LCS-related tweets.
  • To evaluate the influence of promotional information on public discourse about LCS.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of publicly available Twitter data related to lung cancer screening.
  • Sentiment analysis to gauge public emotions towards LCS.
  • Topic modeling to identify key themes in discussions.
  • Assessment of promotional content impact on tweet engagement.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key emotional responses (e.g., fear, hope, skepticism) towards LCS.
  • Characterization of major discussion themes, including benefits, risks, accessibility, and personal experiences.
  • Evidence of promotional information influencing tweet volume and sentiment.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding public emotions and discussion topics is crucial for improving LCS uptake.
  • Targeted communication strategies addressing public concerns can enhance screening rates.
  • Social media provides valuable insights into public perception of lung cancer screening.
