Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:27

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

50
Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

282
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

35
Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

134
IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1. Intravenous Urography (IVU)Intravenous...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

22
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Digital Health
  • Health Communication

Background:

  • Pinterest is a popular visual social media platform with over 250 million users.
  • Previous research identified misinformation on YouTube regarding genitourinary malignancies.
  • No prior studies have evaluated the quality of genitourinary malignancy content on Pinterest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the quality of patient-centric content related to genitourinary malignancies on Pinterest.
  • To evaluate the understandability and actionability of this content.
  • To identify the prevalence of misinformation and assess diversity within the content.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of Pinterest was conducted using terms for bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer.
  • 359 relevant English-language pins were analyzed for publisher, diversity, and content quality.
  • Validated tools (DISCERN, PAT Tool) and a Likert scale for misinformation were used for assessment.

Main Results:

  • The majority of analyzed pins (75%) provided moderate-to-poor quality information.
  • Misinformation was present in 4%-26% of the pins.
  • Content demonstrated poor understandability (55%) and complete lack of actionability (100%).
  • Significant underrepresentation of Black, Asian, and Latinx individuals was noted in pins featuring people.

Conclusions:

  • Most urological oncology content on Pinterest is low quality, lacks diversity, and is not actionable.
  • The platform's unregulated nature can lead to suboptimal health decisions by users.
  • There is a critical need to improve the quality, accuracy, and diversity of health information on social media platforms like Pinterest.
