Background: YouTube is considered one of the most popular sources of information among college students.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the use of YouTube as a pathology learning tool and its relationship with pathology scores among medical students at Jordanian public universities.
Methods: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study included second-year to sixth-year medical students from 6 schools of medicine in Jordan.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in diabetic macular edema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, an electronic search was done to acquire all articles describing brolucizumab use in patients with DME and DR. The review was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022382625).
Purpose: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is fairly common in newborns. The main aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the preferred practice patterns of CNLDO among ophthalmologists in Jordan.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted across all ophthalmological practices in Jordan, using convenience sampling.

August 2023
Purpose: Foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) is an emerging vitreous substitute that has been recently introduced to treat various advanced vitreoretinal conditions including severe ocular trauma, complicated retinal detachment (RD), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Methods: Review protocol was prospectively registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022342310). A systematic literature search using PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for articles published until May 2022 was performed.
Wearable devices for anxiety & depression: A scoping review.
Comput Methods Programs Biomed Update
January 2023
Background: The rates of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression are at an all-time high especially since the onset of COVID-19, and the need for readily available digital health care solutions has never been greater. Wearable devices have increasingly incorporated sensors that were previously reserved for hospital settings. The availability of wearable device features that address anxiety and depression is still in its infancy, but consumers will soon have the potential to self-monitor moods and behaviors using everyday commercially-available devices.

Machine learning models to detect anxiety and depression through social media: A scoping review.
Comput Methods Programs Biomed Update
September 2022
Article Synopsis
- Mental health disorders like anxiety and depression have become more prevalent since the COVID-19 pandemic, with social media serving as a platform where symptoms are often noted.
- A review of 54 studies utilized machine learning models to detect these disorders by analyzing users' online language and activities across various social media platforms.
- These models, predominantly developed during the pandemic, have the potential to complement traditional mental health screenings, offering insights into public mental health during times when access to healthcare may be limited.
Knowledge of basic radiology is an essential component of the undergraduate medical curriculum. Pre-clinical education introduces medical students to essential knowledge and skills. However, the current curriculum and radiology teaching are not without inherent limitations.
