Article Abstract
Background: Social media has been extensively used by the public to seek information and share views on health issues. Recently, the proper and off-label use of semaglutide drugs for weight loss has attracted huge media attention and led to temporary supply shortages.
Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a content analysis on English YouTube (Google) videos related to semaglutide.
Methods: YouTube was searched with the words semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. The first 30 full-length videos (videos without a time limit) and 30 shorts (videos that are no longer than 1 minute) resulting from each search word were recorded. After discounting duplicates resulting from multiple searches, a total of 96 full-length videos and 93 shorts were analyzed. Video content was evaluated by 3 tools, that is, a custom checklist, a Global Quality Score (GQS), and Modified DISCERN. Readability and sentiment of the transcripts were also assessed.
Results: There was no significant difference in the mean number of views between full-length videos and shorts (mean 288,563.1, SD 513,598.3 vs mean 188,465.2, SD 780,376.2, P=.30). The former had better content quality in terms of GQS, Modified DISCERN, and the number of mentioned points from the custom checklist (all P<.001). The transcript readability of both types of videos was at a fairly easy level and mainly had a neutral tone. Full-length videos from health sources had a higher content quality in terms of GQS and Modified DISCERN (both P<.001) than their counterparts.
Conclusions: The analyzed videos lacked coverage of several important aspects, including the lack of long-term data, the persistence of side effects due to the long half-life of semaglutide, and the risk of counterfeit drugs. It is crucial for the public to be aware that videos cannot replace consultations with physicians.

HOT: Hierarchical Hourglass Tokenizer for Efficient Video Pose Transformers.
IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell
September 2025
Transformers have been successfully applied in the field of video-based 3D human pose estimation. However, the high computational costs of these video pose transformers (VPTs) make them impractical on resource-constrained devices. In this paper, we present a hierarchical plug-and-play pruning-and-recovering framework, called Hierarchical Hourglass Tokenizer (HOT), for efficient transformer-based 3D human pose estimation from videos.

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can automate technical skills assessment. Applied to the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS®), AI-driven credentialing could enhance evaluation consistency while reducing costs associated with human proctoring. However, existing studies fall short of demonstrating the reliability required for high-stakes assessments, often due to limited validation and suboptimal modeling strategies.

Adequate withdrawal time is crucial in colonoscopy, as it is directly associated with polyp detection rates. However, traditional withdrawal time measurements can be biased by non-observation activities, leading to inaccurate assessments of procedural quality. This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model that accurately measures net withdrawal time by excluding non-observation phases and generates quantitative visual summaries of key procedural events.

Background: The ChRonic nonbacterial Osteomyelitis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring (CROMRIS) tool was developed to assess specific characteristics of bone and soft tissue inflammation on MR images of patients with CNO; however, this tool was labor intensive to utilize. We aimed (1) to refine and adapt this scoring method, (2) to assess the usability of this web-based CROMRIS system among radiologists and (3) to evaluate the absolute agreement of the components and summary CROMRIS scores at each body site, and the interrater reliability.
Methods: We used a qualitative, user-centered design approach involving software developers, rheumatologists, radiologists, and a patient artist to adapt the paper-based scoring system to a web-based prototype that was further refined by monthly meetings between the group members.
