- Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) during adolescence is a high-risk marker for the development and persistence of mental health problems and has been recognized as a significant public health problem. Whereas targeted prevention has indeed shown to be effective in reducing NSSI and improve mental health problems, access to such programs is limited. By face validity, universal prevention of NSSI seems an ideal starting point for a stepped-care model to circumvent a lack of resources in the medical care system. However, it is yet unclear how effective such approaches are. Here, we provide a summary of existing work on universal prevention of NSSI in adolescents younger than 21 years based on a systematic literature search. We found that only seven studies are available. None of the programs evaluated was found to be effective in reducing the incidence or frequency of NSSI. After providing a comprehensive summary of the existing work, we evaluate the fact that existing work primarily focusses on selected/targeted prevention and on psychoeducational methods. We derive implications for future directions in the field of universal prevention of NSSI., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Bürger, von Schoenfeld, Scheiner, Seidel, Wasserscheid, Gad, Kittel-Schneider, Romanos and Reiter.)

- Abstract
A single-cycle light source in the near infrared is demonstrated enabling sensitive applications of ultrafast optical field control of electronic transport. The compact Er:fiber system generates passively phase-locked pulses with broadband spectra covering 150 THz to 350 THz at a duration of 4.2 fs and 40 MHz repetition rate. A second output arm is equipped with an electro-optic modulator (EOM) that switches the arrival time of the pulses by 700 ps at arbitrary frequencies up to 20 MHz, enabling timing modulation of the pump pulse without changing the average intensity. As a benchmark demonstration, we investigate the carrier relaxation dynamics in low-temperature-grown InGaAs (LT-InGaAs) using quantum interference currents (QuICs).

- Abstract
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has become a substantial public health problem. NSSI is a high-risk marker for the development and persistence of mental health problems, shows high rates of morbidity and mortality, and causes substantial health care costs. Thus, there is an urgent need for action to develop universal prevention programs for NSSI before adolescents begin to show this dangerous behavior. Currently, however, universal prevention programs are lacking., Methods: The main objective of the present study is to evaluate a newly developed universal prevention program ("DUDE - Du und deine Emotionen / You and your emotions"), based on a skills-based approach in schools, in 3200 young adolescents (age 11-14 years). The effectiveness of DUDE will be investigated in a cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) in schools (N = 16). All groups will receive a minimal intervention called "Stress-free through the school day" as a mental health literacy program to prevent burnout in school. The treatment group (N = 1600; 8 schools) will additionally undergo the universal prevention program DUDE and will be divided into treatment group 1 (DUDE conducted by trained clinical psychologists; N = 800; 4 schools) and treatment group 2 (DUDE conducted by trained teachers; N = 800; 4 schools). The active control group (N = 1600; 8 schools) will only receive the mental health literacy prevention. Besides baseline assessment (T0), measurements will occur at the end of the treatment (T1) and at 6- (T2) and 12-month (T3) follow-up evaluations. The main outcome is the occurrence of NSSI within the last 6 months assessed by a short version of the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI-9) at the 1-year follow-up (primary endpoint; T3). Secondary outcomes are emotion regulation, suicidality, health-related quality of life, self-esteem, and comorbid psychopathology and willingness to change., Discussion: DUDE is tailored to diminish the incidence of NSSI and to prevent its possible long-term consequences (e.g., suicidality) in adolescents. It is easy to access in the school environment. Furthermore, DUDE is a comprehensive approach to improve mental health via improved emotion regulation., Trial Registration: German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) DRKS00018945.

- Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging tool for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The current study aims to identify central pulmonary arterial hemodynamic parameters that reflect clinical, cardiac and pulmonary changes after PEA. 31 CTEPH patients, who underwent PEA and received pre- and postoperative MRI, were analyzed retrospectively. Central pulmonary arterial blood flow, lung perfusion and right heart function data were derived from MRI. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and 5-month follow-up six-minute walk-distance (6MWD) were assessed. After PEA, mPAP decreased significantly and patients achieved a higher 6MWD. Central pulmonary arterial blood flow velocities, pulmonary blood flow (PBF) and right ventricular function increased significantly. Two-dimensional (2D) phase-contrast (PC) MRI-derived average mean velocity, maximum mean velocity and deceleration volume changes after PEA correlated with changes of 6MWD and right heart ejection fraction (RVEF). Deceleration volume is a novel 2D PC MRI parameter showing further correlation with PBF changes. In conclusion, 2D PC MRI-derived main pulmonary hemodynamic changes reflect changes of RVEF, PBF and 5-month follow-up 6MWD and may be used for future CTEPH patient monitoring after PEA., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

- Abstract
Background: The translation of phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL)-MRI to routine practice in monitoring chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) still requires clinical corresponding imaging biomarkers of pulmonary vascular disease., Purpose: To evaluate successful pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) via PREFUL-MRI with pulmonary pulse wave transit time (pPTT)., Study Type: Retrospective., Population: Thirty CTEPH patients and 12 healthy controls were included., Field Strength/sequence: For PREFUL-MRI a 2D spoiled gradient echo sequence and for DCE-MRI a 3D time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories (TWIST) sequence were performed on 1.5T., Assessment: Eight coronal slices of PREFUL-MRI were obtained on consecutive 13 days before and 14 days after PEA. PREFUL quantitative lung perfusion (PREFUL
Q ) phases over the whole cardiac cycle were calculated to quantify pPTT, the time the pulmonary pulse wave travels from the central pulmonary arteries to the pulmonary capillaries. Also, perfusion defect percentage based on pPTT (QDPpPTT ), PREFULQ (QDPPREFUL ), and V/Q match were calculated. For DCE-MRI, pulmonary blood flow (PBF) and QDPPBF were computed as reference. For clinical correlation, mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and 6-minute walking distance were evaluated preoperatively and after PEA., Statistical Tests: The Shapiro-Wilk test, paired two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test, Dice coefficient, and Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ) were applied., Results: Median pPTT was significantly lower post PEA (139 msec) compared to pre PEA (193 msec), P = 0.0002. Median pPTT correlated significantly with the mPAP post PEA (r = 0.52, P < 0.008). Median pPTT was distributed more homogeneously after PEA: IQR pPTT decreased from 336 to 281 msec (P < 0.004). Median PREFULQ (P < 0.0002), QDPpPTT (P < 0.0478), QDPPREFUL (P < 0.0001) and V/Q match (P < 0.0001) improved significantly after PEA. Percentage change of PREFULQ correlated significantly with percentage change of 6-minute walking distance (ρ = 0.61; P = 0.0031) 5 months post PEA., Data Conclusion: Perioperative perfusion changes in CTEPH can be detected and quantified by PREFUL-MRI. Normalization of pPTT reflects surgical success and improvement of PREFULQ predicts 6-minute walking distance changes., Level of Evidence: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2 J. Magn. Reson.

- Abstract
Objectives: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) can be treated with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in inoperable patients. Sensitive non-invasive imaging methods are missing to detect treatment response after a single BPA treatment session. Therefore, the aim of this study was to measure treatment response after a single BPA session using cardio-pulmonary MRI., Materials and Methods: Overall, 29 patients with CTEPH were examined with cardio-pulmonary MRI before and 62 days after their initial BPA session. Pulmonary blood flow (PBF), first-pass bolus kinetic parameters, and biventricular mass and function were determined. Multiple linear regression analysis was implemented to estimate the relationship of PBF change in the treated lobe with treatment change of full width at half maximum (FWHM), cardiac output (CO), ventricular mass index (VMI), pulmonary transit time (PTT) and PBF change in the non-treated lobes. Paired Wilcoxon rank sum test and Spearman rho correlation were used., Results: After BPA regional PBF increased in the treated lobe (p < 0.0001) as well as in non-treated lobes (p = 0.015). PBF treatment changes in the treated lobe were significantly larger compared with the non-treated lobes (p = 0.0049). Change in NT proBNP, MRI-derived mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), PTT, FWHM, right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction, RV stroke volume, CO, VMI and PBF in the non-treated lobes correlated with PBF change in the treated lobe (p < 0.05). PBF changes in the treated lobe were independently predicted by PTT as well as PBF change in the non-treated lobes., Conclusion: Cardio-pulmonary MRI detects and quantifies treatment response after a single BPA treatment session., Key Points: • Two months after BPA regional parenchymal pulmonary perfusion (PBF) increased in the total lung parenchyma (p = 0.005), the treated lobes (p < 0.0001) and non-treated lobes (p = 0.015). • The PBF treatment changes in the treated lobe were significantly larger than in the non-treated lobes (p = 0.0049). • Change in NT proBNP, MRI-derived mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary transit time, full width at half maximum, right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction, RV stroke volume, cardiac output, ventricular mass index and PBF in the non-treated lobes correlated with PBF change in the treated lobe (p < 0.05).

- Abstract
Background: Decision making with advanced cancer patients is often associated with decisional conflict regarding treatment outcomes. This longitudinal multicenter study investigated German physicians' course of decisional conflict during the decision-making process for a Simulated advanced-stage cancer Patient (SP). Results were compared to a matched sample of Belgian physicians., Methods: German physicians' (n = 30) decisional conflict was assessed with the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) at baseline (t1) and after the four steps of a decision-making process: after reviewing the SP chart (t2), after viewing an assessment video interview with the SP (t3), after reviewing the team recommendations (t4), and after conducting the patient-physician decision-making interview (t5). The results were compared to those of a Belgian matched sample (n = 30)., Results: Decisional conflict of German physicians decreased during the Decision-Making process (M = 53.5, SD = 11.6 at t2 to M = 37.8, SD = 9.6 at t5, p < 0.001). This was similar to the pattern in the Belgian sample (M = 53.5, SD = 12.5 at t2 to M = 34.1, SD = 10.9 at t5, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups for Decisional conflict end scores (p = 0.171). At the end of the Decision-making process, in both groups, still 43.3% of the physicians among each group (n = 13) reported a high Decisional Conflict (DCS > 37.5)., Conclusions: Physicians' decisional conflict decreases during the decision-making process for an advanced cancer SP, though it remains at a high level. Culture, language and different health care systems have no influence on this process. The results emphasize the influence of psychosocial factors. We conclude that this issue should be considered more intensively in future research and in clinical care.

- Abstract
Purpose: To test quantitative functional lung MRI techniques in young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to healthy volunteers and to monitor immediate treatment effects of a single inhalation of hypertonic saline in comparison to clinical routine pulmonary function tests., Materials and Methods: Sixteen clinically stable CF patients and 12 healthy volunteers prospectively underwent two functional lung MRI scans and pulmonary function tests before and 2h after a single treatment of inhaled hypertonic saline or without any treatment. MRI-derived oxygen enhanced T1 relaxation measurements, fractional ventilation, first-pass perfusion parameters and a morpho-functional CF-MRI score were acquired., Results: Compared to healthy controls functional lung MRI detected and quantified significantly increased ventilation heterogeneity in CF patients. Regional functional lung MRI measures of ventilation and perfusion as well as the CF-MRI score and pulmonary function tests could not detect a significant treatment effect two hours after a single treatment with hypertonic saline in young adults with CF (p>0.05)., Conclusion: This study shows the feasibility of functional lung MRI as a non-invasive, radiation-free tool for monitoring patients with CF.

- Abstract
Purpose To evaluate surgical success after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) by means of cardiopulmonary magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods In this institutional review board-approved study, 20 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension were examined at 1.5 T with a dynamic contrast material-enhanced three-dimensional fast low-angle shot sequence before and 12 days after PEA (25th-75th percentile range, 11-16 days). Lung segments were evaluated visually before PEA for parenchymal hypoperfused segments. Pulmonary blood flow (PBF), first-pass bolus kinetic parameters, and biventricular mass and function were determined. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and 6-minute walking distance were measured before and after PEA. The Shapiro-Wilk test, paired two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test, Spearman ρ correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. Results Two weeks after PEA, regional PBF increased 66% in the total lung from 32.7 to 54.2 mL/min/100 mL (P = .0002). However, after adjustment for cardiac output, this change was not evident anymore (increase of 7% from 7.03 to 7.54 mL/min/100 mL/L/min, P = .1). Only in the lower lobes, a significant increase in PBF after cardiac output adjustment remained: a 16% increase in the right lower lobe from 7.53 to 8.71 mL/min/100 mL (P = .01) and a 14% increase in the left lower lobe from 7.42 to 8.47 mL/min/100 mL/L/min (P < .05). Right ventricular mass and function also improved. mPAP decreased from 46 to 24 mm Hg (P < .0001). Six-minute walking distance increased from 390 to 467 m (P = .02) 5 months after PEA. Percentage change of mPAP and PBF in the lower lobe tended to be significant predictors of percentage change in 6-minute walking distance (β = -1.79 [P = .054] and β = 0.45 [P = .076], respectively) in multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion Improvement of PBF after PEA was observed predominantly in the lower lungs, and the magnitude of improvement of PBF in the lower lobes correlated with the improvement in exercise capacity, reflecting surgical success.

- Abstract
Rationale: There is a need to expand knowledge on cardio-pulmonary pathophysiology of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) following lung transplantation (LTx)., Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess MRI-derived biventricular cardiac mass and function parameters as well as flow hemodynamics in patients with and without BOS after LTx., Methods: Using 1.5T cardiac MRI, measurements of myocardial structure and function as well as measurements of flow in the main pulmonary artery and ascending aorta were performed in 56 lung transplant patients. The patients were dichotomized into two gender matched groups of comparable age range: one with BOS (BOS stages 1-3) and one without BOS (BOS 0/0p)., Measurements and Main Results: Significantly lower biventricular cardiac mass, right and left ventricular end-diastolic volume, biventricular stroke volume, flow hemodynamics and significant higher heart rate but preserved cardiac output were observed in patients with BOS 1-3 compared to the BOS 0/0p group (p < 0.05). In a stepwise logistic regression analysis global cardiac mass (p = 0.046) and days after LTx (p = 0.0001) remained independent parameters to predict BOS. In a second model an indicator for the physical fitness level - walking number of stairs - was added to the logistic regression model. In this second model, time after LTx (p = 0.005) and physical fitness (p = 0.01) remained independent predictors for BOS., Conclusion: The observed changes in biventricular cardiac mass and function as well as changes in hemodynamic flow parameters in the pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta are likely attributed to the physical fitness level of patients after lung transplantation, which in turn is strongly related to lung function.
