Summary: This study examined the association between Twitter activity related to original research presented at a national urology meeting and subsequent publication status and journal impact factor. The researchers found that research with more likes and retweets at the meeting were more likely to be subsequently published, and there was a modest positive correlation between social media engagement and publication journal impact factor.

Summary: This study examines rebel group social media communications and finds that they increase civilian engagement through self-promotion and direct calls to action. However, relying too heavily on direct appeals can lead to audience fatigue. Additionally, including images enhances the impact of mobilizing messages.

Summary: In recent years, short videos have become a critical source of information. However, excessive use of algorithmic technology by short video platforms has led to intensified group polarization and the formation of homogeneous echo chambers. These echo chambers can contribute to the spread of misleading information, false news, or rumors, which have detrimental social impacts. This paper investigates the echo chamber effects on three popular short video platforms and explores the influence of user features on the formation of echo chambers.

Summary: Despite the safety and efficacy of influenza vaccines, global vaccination rates remain low. In the era of new media, individuals often turn to social media for health information, but misinformation and suboptimal health communications are prevalent. This study examines public messaging about influenza vaccines on Twitter by organizations, which could have a significant influence. Using the COM-B model, the findings suggest the current public messaging on Twitter is limited. More information could focus on enhancing the understanding of influenza and the benefits of vaccination, promoting alternative avenues for vaccination, and providing greater motivation and support for vaccination.

Summary: Patients are increasingly using social media, especially Twitter, to inform their decisions regarding bariatric surgery. However, this study found that the quality of bariatric-related content on Twitter is generally poor, even when posted by physicians. Twitter may be useful for anecdotal information and community support, but it is not a reliable source for high-quality scientific consumer health information.

Summary: This paper proposes a framework for analyzing partisan debates by extracting, classifying, and exploring the latent argumentation structure and dynamics of online societal controversies. The framework is applied to the Twitter debate on the consequences of a hard Brexit scenario, focusing on causal arguments. The results show that partisan factions construct arguments around constellations of effect-classes based on polarized verb groups, and the leadership dynamics of the two factions' argumentation are strongly intertwined.

Summary: As the demand for germline genetic testing for cancer patients increases, novel methods of genetic counseling are required. Mainstream pathways, conducted by medical oncologists and nurses, have been found acceptable and feasible, with a focus on breast and ovarian cancer patients undergoing BRCA testing. Further research is needed to evaluate the mainstream pathway for men with prostate cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the rate of revision surgery for commonly performed procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using real-world data from Medicare Australia. The results showed that transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) had similar durability after 5 years of follow-up.
