Background: YouTube is a valuable source of medical videos, but the quality of the videos is difficult to determine. This study aimed to estimate the quality by characteristics of the surgeon and by view rate.
Methods: The term, "pulmonary lobectomy", as a keyword was searched for on the YouTube search engine with the filter set to sort videos by view rate. The data of the first 100 videos were gathered and analyzed. A search was performed for any surgeon who was featured in a video or who posted a live video on Scopus to ascertain the h-index and lung-related publication history.
Results: There were approximately 8,650 videos that were found using "pulmonary lobectomy" as the search term. In the top 100 videos, there were 79 live surgical videos, 12 academic informational videos, 5 patient interviews, and 4 other miscellaneous videos. A primary surgeon was identified in 54 of the 79 (68%) live surgeries, with the majority of these surgeons having an adequate academic affiliation such as an h-index and academic publications.
Conclusions: There are a large amount of YouTube videos on pulmonary lobectomy with acceptable quality, and these videos may have great potential to improve surgical education. But trainees should critically examine the quality of video content. Furthermore, these surgical videos should be improved in quality before they can be used in medical teaching.

In a novel, on-road study, using a 'Ghost Driver' to emulate an automated vehicle (AV), we captured over 10 hours of video (n = 520) and 64 survey responses documenting the behaviour and attitudes of pedestrians in response to the AV. Three prototype external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) described the AV's behaviour, awareness and intention using elements of anthropomorphism: High (human face), Low (car motif), Abstract (partial representation of human features that lacked precise visual reference); these were evaluated against a (no eHMI) baseline. Despite many pedestrians reporting that they still relied on vehicular cues to negotiate their crossing, there was a desire/expectation expressed for explicit communication with future AVs.

Objective: Entrustment describes the balance of supervision and autonomy between resident and preceptor to complete doctoring tasks like procedures. Entrustment alignment between resident and preceptor facilitates safe, successful outcomes, and promotes learning. Study objectives describe procedural entrustment alignment between senior pediatric residents and their preceptors and report the impact of a simulation-based formative assessment (SFA) on entrustment alignment.

Purpose: Trabecular micro-bypass devices (TBDs) such as the iStent series (Glaukos Corporation, Laguna Hills, CA), are effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). However, precise placement of TBDs is crucial in achieving surgical efficacy, as device malpositioning may lead to suboptimal IOP reduction. We demonstrate two novel intra-operative signs to aid confirmation of accurate iStent placement, without reliance on imaging technologies.

Patients with secundum atrial septal defects preferentially undergo device closure; however, this procedure is not always feasible. Instead, patients can safely undergo surgical closure. At a time when minimally invasive surgery can now be utilized with improved cosmetic results and the same excellent outcomes as a conventional sternotomy for an atrial septal defect closure, we propose the partial lower ministernotomy as the new standard for surgical atrial septal defect closure.
