Article Abstract
Body image concerns are prevalent among adolescents globally, including in urban and semi-rural India. These concerns have the potential to hinder adolescents' participation in everyday activities, thereby obstructing both social and academic development. In semi-rural India, where opportunities are constrained by limited resources, the impact of these concerns can be particularly detrimental. Given the scarcity of psychometrically valid measures to evaluate the impact of these concerns specifically within the semi-rural Indian context, this study aimed to culturally adapt and validate the Body Image Life Disengagement Questionnaire (BILD-Q) for use in Hindi among adolescents in semi-rural India. A total of 960 adolescents completed the Hindi version of the BILD-Q, alongside supplementary measures related to body image. Through exploratory factor analysis, a singular dimension of body image life disengagement emerged as the most fitting. The 9-item one-factor model gained further support through confirmatory factor analysis. The scale demonstrated robust internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Analysis confirmed the scale's ability to compare scores between boys and girls without measurement bias. This study introduces a culturally adapted version of the BILD-Q as a valid and reliable measure for assessing the impact of body image concerns on life disengagement among Hindi-speaking adolescents in semi-rural India.

Eating disorders are primarily associated with women and an obsession with thinness. Recent research and social media content show that men are also concerned about their body image, striving for a muscular and athletic physique. To investigate eating disorder tendencies among male content creators with a mesomorphic body type (N = 26), a social media analysis was conducted on Instagram and TikTok over four weeks.

Background: Fetal MRI is increasingly used to investigate fetal lung pathologies, and super-resolution (SR) algorithms could be a powerful clinical tool for this assessment. Our goal was to investigate whether SR reconstructions result in an improved agreement in lung volume measurements determined by different raters, also known as inter-rater reliability.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, fetal lung volumes calculated from both SR reconstructions and the original images were analyzed.
Whole-Body MRI in Pediatric Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis-A Comparison With FDG-PET/CT.

Purpose: In children with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), FDG-PET/CT is used for staging and response assessment. Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) can serve as an ionizing radiation-free alternative for repeated whole-body imaging. The aim of this study was to compare WB-MRI with FDG-PET/CT for staging and response assessment in pediatric LCH.

Purpose: Cardiac noradrenergic denervation visualized by meta-[I]iodobenzylguanidine ([I]MIBG) imaging supports the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, meta-[F] fluorobenzylguanidine ([F]MFBG) PET demonstrated favorable imaging characteristics compared with [I]MIBG scintigraphy for neuroendocrine tumors. We assessed [F]MFBG dosimetry and myocardial pharmacokinetics in healthy controls and PD patients.
