Google Search Trends About Systemic Psoriasis Treatment: What Do People Want to Know About Biologics and Janus Kinase Inhibitors?

This study investigates the most frequently asked questions regarding systemic treatments for psoriasis vulgaris using Google Trends and People Also Asked (PAA) tools, focusing on traditional DMARDs, biologics, and small-molecule inhibitors. Analyzing data from January 31, 2019, to January 31, 2024, Adalimumab was found to have the highest search volume, followed by Apremilast and Methotrexate in their respective categories. Based on Rothwell's Question Classification Criteria, questions about Adalimumab predominantly centered around their technical, factual details and cost of the medication. The study highlights significant public interest in these factors over their safety profile and it is likely influenced by Adalimumab's high direct-to-consumer marketing. Moreover, evaluation of 782 websites showed that potential patients were seeking commercial and government-based websites to learn more about systemic psoriasis treatment. According to the JAMA benchmark criteria, these source types also scored the highest in terms of information quality, while medical practice websites scored the lowest. The findings suggest the need for dermatologists to address factual details such as medication administration scheduling, dietary restrictions, and cost during patient consultations, and to guide patients towards high-quality online resources. Limitations include potential comprehensiveness of questions and evolving medication concerns.

Quality and readability of online information about piriformis syndrome

AimIn this study, we aimed to investigate the quality and readability of websites related to Piriformis Syndrome(PS). MethodOn November 14, 2023, we searched the term "Piriformis Syndrome" in Google (https://www.google.com). We evaluated the top 200 uniform resource locators(URLs) in query results for typology, Journal of the American Medical Association(JAMA) scores, the Flesch-Kincaid reading ease(FRE) score, Flesch-Kincaid grade(FKG) level, Gunning-Fog index, and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook(SMOG) grade level. The JAMA scoring system was used to assess quality, and FRE, FKG, Gunning-Fog index and SMOG scores were used to assess the readability of online information. Content analysis was performed for etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Treatment options were evaluated as exercise, physical therapy agents, drug therapy, invasive treatments, and surgery. ResultsOf the 138 websites evaluated, 39 were classified as high-quality websites. Scientific publications and health portal websites were found to have high-quality scores. When the readability parameters of the websites were compared in terms of quality, there was no significant difference between high-quality websites and low-quality websites in terms of FRE and FKG scores(p > 0.05), but there was a significant difference in Gunning-Fog index and SMOG scores(p = 0.030, p = 0.010 respectively). The quality score of the top 10 websites was higher than the rest(p = 0.002). When the contents of the websites were analyzed, there was a significant difference only in terms of diagnosis. Scientific websites mentioned diagnosis the most, while commercial websites mentioned it the least. When the treatment content was analyzed, there was a significant difference in terms of surgery. Non-profit websites mentioned it the most, while commercial websites mentioned it the least. ConclusionHigh-quality websites were slightly more difficult in the readability parameters. However, the proportion of high-quality websites was quite low. These results may encourage those producing PS-related online information to improve the quality and readability of content and content coverage.

Redundancy of Pharmacologic Ingredients in Over-the-Counter Nasal Sprays.

To evaluate and determine the prevalence of ingredients in over-the-counter (OTC) nasal sprays. Cross-sectional. Retail pharmacies. An inventory of brand-name and generic OTC nasal sprays was recorded at five national pharmacy outlets in August 2023. Data regarding the active ingredients were collected on commercial websites, MedlinePlus and drugs.com, and frequency statistics were calculated. Five pharmacies were visited, at which 12 different brand names of nasal sprays were identified at multiple pharmacies. Nine brand names were associated with multiple formulations, accounting for 49 different products. The active ingredients included in our analysis were oxymetazoline, phenylephrine, fluticasone, triamcinolone, budesonide, azelastine, cromolyn sodium, and mometasone. Nasal decongestants had the greatest number of brand name formulations compared to intranasal steroids and antihistamine sprays which had limited choices. Products that included oxymetazoline were the most widely marketed drug (51 unique products) followed sodium chloride (40 unique products). These findings suggest that there are widespread redundancies in the OTC nasal spray market. Clinician should be aware of the redundancy in OTC formulations and encourage patients to read the labels in order to make informed decisions regarding their use of OTC medications.

Pillar 3: The impact of language complexity on the preferences of commercial bank website users

This research explores the impact of document complexity and readability on user preferences for disclosure information on commercial bank web portals, with a focus on Pillar 3 disclosures. The study investigates the usage patterns of disclosed information by stakeholders. Through an analysis of web portal access variables and document complexity and readability measures, the study identifies correlations between text complexity/readability and user preferences. The experiment used traditional readability measures like the Gunning Fog Index and Flesch Reading Ease but also focused on less-used metrics such as LIX, various text characteristics, and part-of-speech metrics. The findings reveal that while stakeholders show interest in financial documents despite their complexity, preferences in using these documents vary based on document type and readability. Notably, documents with higher complexity tend to attract more attention, suggesting potential challenges in accessibility and comprehension. The paper highlights the importance of presenting disclosure information in a manner that enhances readability and accessibility to better engage stakeholders. Additionally, the research introduces user preference indicators aligned with web portal access metrics, providing insights into stakeholders’ behavior. The research followed up on previous findings of extremely low interest in Pillar 3 information from commercial bank stakeholders. The results showed that stakeholders are more interested in less demanding and more readable texts such as annual reports, and as Pillar 3 documents are more complex and harder to read, they are less interested in them. The research concludes that stakeholders’ increasing interest in this information requires finding approaches to presenting it in less complicated and more readable ways.

Updated aspects of alpha-Solanine as a potential anticancer agent: Mechanistic insights and future directions.

Cancer remains a critical global health challenge, with limited progress in reducing mortality despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment. The growing resistance of tumors to existing chemotherapy exacerbates this burden. In response, the search for new anticancer compounds from plants has intensified, given their historical success in yielding effective treatments. This review focuses on α-solanine, a glycoalkaloid primarily derived from potato tubers and nightshade family plants, recognized for its diverse biological activities, including anti-allergic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and antibiotic properties. Recently, α-solanine has gained attention as a potential anticancer agent. Utilizing resources like PubMed/MedLine, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, the American Chemical Society, Google Scholar, Springer Link, Wiley, and various commercial websites, this review consolidates two decades of research on α-solanine's anticancer effects and mechanisms against nine different cancers, highlighting its role in modulating various signaling pathways. It also discusses α-solanine's potential as a lead compound in cancer therapy. The abundant availability of potato peel, often discarded as waste or sold cheaply, is suggested as a sustainable source for large-scale α-solanine extraction. The study concludes that α-solanine holds promise as a standalone or adjunctive cancer treatment. However, further research is necessary to optimize this lead compound and mitigate its toxicity through various strategies.

The Effect of Brand Heritage on Social Commerce Site Privacy Risk, Brand Equity, and Brand Advocacy

This study extends brand heritage research by exploring brand heritage in a new context (social commerce sites). To test the hypotheses, an online survey was conducted, and a total of 321 responses were collected from Amazon users in the US. The data were analyzed by using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings revealed that the brand heritage of social commerce sites has a significant negative influence on consumers' perceived privacy risk, which in turn has a significant negative impact on brand equity and brand advocacy.

Evaluating the Accuracy, Quality, and Readability of Online Breast Cancer Information.

To assess the accuracy, quality, and readability of patient-focused breast cancer websites using expert evaluation and validated tools. Ensuring access to accurate, high-quality, and readable online health information supports informed decision-making and health equity but has not been recently evaluated. A qualitative analysis on 50 websites was conducted; the first 10 eligible websites for the following search terms were included: "breast cancer," "breast surgery," "breast reconstructive surgery," "breast chemotherapy," and "breast radiation therapy." Websites were required to be in English and not intended for healthcare professionals. Accuracy was evaluated by 5 breast cancer specialists. Quality was evaluated through the DISCERN questionnaire. Readability was measured using 9 standardized tests. Mean readability was compared with the American Medical Association and National Institutes of Health 6th grade recommendation. Nonprofit hospital websites had the highest accuracy (mean = 4.06, SD = 0.42); however, no statistical differences were observed in accuracy by website affiliation (P = 0.08). The overall mean quality score was 50.8 ("fair"/"good" quality) with no significant differences among website affiliations (P = 0.10). Mean readability was at the 10th grade reading level, the lowest being for commercial websites with a mean 9th grade reading level (SD = 2.38). All websites exceeded the American Medical Association- and National Institutes of Health-recommended reading level by 4.4 levels (P < 0.001). Websites with higher accuracy tended to have lower readability levels, whereas those with lower accuracy had higher readability levels. As breast cancer treatment has become increasingly complex, improving online quality and readability while maintaining high accuracy is essential to promote health equity and empower patients to make informed decisions about their care.

Exploring the 3-dimensional variability of websites' user-stories using triadic concept analysis

Configurable software systems and families of similar software systems are increasingly being considered by industry to provide software tailored to each customer's needs. Their development requires managing software variability, i.e. commonalities, differences and constraints. A primary step is properly analyzing the variability of software, which can be done at various levels, from specification to deployment. In this paper, we focus on the software variability expressed through user-stories, viz. short formatted sentences indicating which user role can perform which action at the specification level. At this level, variability is usually analyzed in a two dimension view, i.e. software described by features, and considering the roles apart. The novelty of this work is to model the three dimensions of the variability (i.e. software, roles, features) and explore it using Triadic Concept Analysis (TCA), an extension of Formal Concept Analysis. The variability exploration is based on the extraction of 3-dimensional implication rules. The adopted methodology is applied to a case study made of 65 commercial web sites in four domains, i.e. manga, martial arts sports equipment, board games including trading cards, and video-games. This work highlights the diversity of information provided by such methodology to draw directions for the development of a new product or for building software variability models.

Understanding How ChatGPT May Become a Clinical Administrative Tool Through an Investigation on the Ability to Answer Common Patient Questions Concerning Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries.

The consumer availability and automated response functions of chat generator pretrained transformer (ChatGPT-4), a large language model, poise this application to be utilized for patient health queries and may have a role in serving as an adjunct to minimize administrative and clinical burden. To evaluate the ability of ChatGPT-4 to respond to patient inquiries concerning ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries and compare these results with the performance of Google. Cross-sectional study. Google Web Search was used as a benchmark, as it is the most widely used search engine worldwide and the only search engine that generates frequently asked questions (FAQs) when prompted with a query, allowing comparisons through a systematic approach. The query "ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction" was entered into Google, and the top 10 FAQs, answers, and their sources were recorded. ChatGPT-4 was prompted to perform a Google search of FAQs with the same query and to record the sources of answers for comparison. This process was again replicated to obtain 10 new questions requiring numeric instead of open-ended responses. Finally, responses were graded independently for clinical accuracy (grade 0 = inaccurate, grade 1 = somewhat accurate, grade 2 = accurate) by 2 fellowship-trained sports medicine surgeons (D.W.A, J.S.D.) blinded to the search engine and answer source. ChatGPT-4 used a greater proportion of academic sources than Google to provide answers to the top 10 FAQs, although this was not statistically significant (90% vs 50%; P = .14). In terms of question overlap, 40% of the most common questions on Google and ChatGPT-4 were the same. When comparing FAQs with numeric responses, 20% of answers were completely overlapping, 30% demonstrated partial overlap, and the remaining 50% did not demonstrate any overlap. All sources used by ChatGPT-4 to answer these FAQs were academic, while only 20% of sources used by Google were academic (P = .0007). The remaining Google sources included social media (40%), medical practices (20%), single-surgeon websites (10%), and commercial websites (10%). The mean (± standard deviation) accuracy for answers given by ChatGPT-4 was significantly greater compared with Google for the top 10 FAQs (1.9 ± 0.2 vs 1.2 ± 0.6; P = .001) and top 10 questions with numeric answers (1.8 ± 0.4 vs 1 ± 0.8; P = .013). ChatGPT-4 is capable of providing responses with clinically relevant content concerning UCL injuries and reconstruction. ChatGPT-4 utilized a greater proportion of academic websites to provide responses to FAQs representative of patient inquiries compared with Google Web Search and provided significantly more accurate answers. Moving forward, ChatGPT has the potential to be used as a clinical adjunct when answering queries about UCL injuries and reconstruction, but further validation is warranted before integrated or autonomous use in clinical settings.

Website Penetration Analysis Against XSS Attacks using Payload Method

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of various penetration testing methods in identifying and mitigating XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerabilities in web applications. XSS is a type of web security attack that takes advantage of weaknesses in web applications to insert malicious code into web pages displayed to users. This attack can steal user data, take over user sessions, or spread malware. This research uses a penetration testing method with a black-box approach, where the researcher does not know the construction of the system being tested. Tests were conducted on 10 random websites, including 5 open-source websites and 5 commercial websites. The test results show that the payload method used is effective in exploiting XSS vulnerabilities on some websites. Of the 10 websites tested, 6 of them were successfully exploited using different payload methods. This research highlights the importance of using open-source penetration testing tools in detecting and addressing security vulnerabilities in web applications. These tools are easy to implement, supported by extensive documentation, and have a strong community. This research also emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of how penetration testing tools work to identify and address security vulnerabilities. To address XSS vulnerabilities, this research recommends good programming techniques such as programming language updates, use of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), MVC (Model-View-Controller) concepts, and use of frameworks. Further research can be done to develop and test new payload methods, explore the use of other penetration testing tools, and test security vulnerabilities in other types of web applications.

An AI pipeline for garment price projection using computer vision

The fashion industry’s traditional price-setting methods, based on historical sales and Fashion Week trends, are inadequate in the digital era. Rapid changes in collections and consumer preferences necessitate advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. These AI methods should analyze data from various sources, including social media and e-commerce, to predict future fashion trends and prices. In this paper, we propose, apply, and assess a data analytics approach, i.e., FashionXpert, employing several image processing and machine learning techniques in an AI pipeline for garment price prediction. It integrates various heterogeneous data sources (e.g., textual and image data from e-stores, brand websites, and social media) to obtain more consistent, accurate, and beneficial information. We evaluated its effectiveness with an industrial data set obtained by a fashion search tool from the electronic commerce sites of clothing brands. FashionXpert predicted garment prices with an average Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 15.31 EUR on a data set that has a standard deviation of 72.99 EUR.

The mean Ateşman, Bezirci-Yılmaz, and readability scores were 56.10 (29.77-100.00) and 12.80 (1.88-20.01), respectively, and the JAMA and DISCERN reliability scores were 1.06 (0-2) and 43.00 (26.00-67.00), respectively. CONCLUSION: As a result of this study, it was found that the readability, quality, and reliability of texts on Turkish websites containing information about low back pain are at a very low level.

Analysis of Google Searches in Laryngology: Where Do People Look and Are the Answers They Find Credible?

ObjectivesPatients recently diagnosed with a new medical condition frequently search the internet to learn about their diagnosis. We aimed to identify specific questions people ask regarding common laryngological diagnoses by evaluating “People Also Ask” (PAA) questions generated by Google, search volume of these diagnoses, and to determine if the sources accessed were credible. Study DesignDescriptive study. MethodsThe terms “subglottic stenosis” (SS), “Zenker’s diverticulum” (ZD), “vocal fold paralysis” (VFP), and related terms were entered into Google. PAA questions and associated websites were then extracted using Ahrefs software. Questions were categorized into specific topics. Websites were categorized by type and then assessed using Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria. A search engine optimization tool (SEO) was used to determine search volume for individual topics. Results144 PAA questions (SS n=52, ZD n=49, and VFP n=43) and their associated websites were extracted. Inquiries were most related to disease etiology (34%), management (27.1%), and signs/symptoms (16.7%). Sources most commonly linked to PAA questions were academic (37.6%), government (25.6%), and commercial (16.2%) websites, while medical practice (7.69%), single surgeon (3.42%), and social media (9.40%) websites were less frequently referenced. JAMA scores were highest for government websites (mean 3.35, SD = 0.54) and lowest for academic websites (mean 0.77, SD = 0.14). ConclusionsThe most asked questions regarding SS, ZD, and VFP are related to etiology and management. Academic medical institution websites are most frequently viewed to answer these questions. Therefore, academic laryngological professionals should ensure the information on their websites is current and accurate.

IMPACT OF APPLYING UNIVERSAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES ON THE USABILITY OF ONLINE ACCOMMODATION BOOKING WEBSITES

One of the concepts of human-computer interaction is the usability of websites, consisting of features such as efficiency, satisfaction, memorability, and learnability. Usability is particularly important in the case of websites that the user is expected to learn on their own. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the usability of user interfaces of websites and, based on this, to find how this evaluation is affected by the application of universal design principles. The objects of the study are two websites, one complying with the principles of universal design - created for the purpose of the study, and the other – an existing commercial website operating in the market, which does not follow these principles. Three hypotheses are defined: 1) effectiveness and efficiency of analyzed websites are higher for a service that followed the principles of universal design than a website that did not comply with these rules; 2) the quality of the user interface is greater for the service fulfilling the principles of universal design; 3) the satisfaction with the interaction with the interface is greater in case of websites conformed to the principles of universal design. The study uses two methods: eye tracking and questionnaires. The experiment involves 10 participants who had to perform a scenario consisting of 10 instructions that involved locating various elements in each of the tested GUI interfaces. The eye activity is recorded using a Gazepoint GP3 HD desktop eye tracker, which makes it possible to determine the effectiveness and efficiency values of using the analyzed interfaces. Each participant was also asked to fill out two questionnaires: the Lublin University of Technology one and the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction. The study proves the truth of the hypotheses, that is, the positive impact of universal design on the usability evaluation of user interfaces.

‘That feels good!’: straight men’s sexual fluidity in gay porn

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the rhetorical devices employed in gay porn films featuring characters of heterosexual men. Through examples from six contemporary commercial gay porn websites, I identify three rhetorical devices used to facilitate the straight man’s sexual interaction with another man: suspension of heterosexuality, visible bodily arousal as proof of pleasure, and equating male and female orifices. These devices point to a conception of a ‘bisexual body' that may become aroused irrespective of one’s psychosocial identification. Utilizing bisexual theory and sociological research of heterosexuality, I claim that this disconnection between a bisexual body and heterosexual identity simultaneously opens possibilities of destabilizing the rigid hetero/homo binary of sexual identity and closes them down by de-politicizing them. This pornographic discourse may be connected to wider discourses regarding male sexual fluidity and bisexuality.

UNDERSTANDING ROLES OF INSTITUTION BASED TRUST AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS IN SOCIAL COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT

ABSTRACT User-generated content is a two-edged sword in that it can both build and destroy trust in social commerce Web sites. One of the most important ingredients in the social commerce environment is institutional trust. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among institution-based trust, social interactions (content, positive valence, and negative valence), purchase intentions, purchase, and post-purchase behavior of consumers in a social commerce environment. With the help of 227 responses, the proposed research model was validated using structural equation modeling and binary logistic regression analysis techniques. The study’s findings confirmed significant effects of social interactions (content, positive valence, and negative valence) on consumers’ purchase intentions, increasing the likelihood of actual purchasing and sharing shopping experiences with other customers in a social commerce environment. Furthermore, institutional trust was found to be important in influencing content, positive valence, and negative valence. The academic and managerial implications are extensively discussed.
