Article Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) phase contrast is used to quantify blood flow. We sought to develop a complex-difference reconstruction for inline super-resolution of phase-contrast flow (CRISPFlow) to accelerate phase-contrast imaging.
Methods: CRISPFlow was built on the super-resolution generative adversarial network. The model was trained and tested (4:1 ratio) using retrospectively identified phase-contrast images from 2020 patients (56 ± 16 years; 1131 men) referred for clinical 3T CMR at a single center from 2018 to 2023. For testing, ascending aortic flow images collected with 2.5 × 1.9 mm resolution using generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) were used to synthesize images with 7.5 × 1.9 mm resolution. CRISPFlow subsequently restored spatial resolution. In a prospective validation study of 38 participants (57 ± 15 years; 14 men) and 16 healthy individuals (42 ± 16 years; 6 men), CRISPFlow was applied to phase-contrast images collected with 7.5 × 1.9 mm resolution with use of GRAPPA and was compared to GRAPPA-accelerated images collected with 2.3 × 1.9 mm resolution. A blur metric was used to quantify sharpness. Aortic flow measurements were obtained semi-automatically. Statistical evaluation included analysis of variance, Bland-Altman analysis, and Pearson correlation coefficient (r).
Results: CRISPFlow reconstruction was successful in all cases. CRISPFlow reduced blurring in retrospective (0.35 vs 0.47, P < 0.001) and prospective (0.34 vs 0.48, P < 0.001) images with 7.5 × 1.9 mm resolution. Blurring in CRISPFlow images was similar to blurring in images with 2.5 × 1.9 mm (0.35 vs 0.35, P = 0.4082) and 2.3 × 1.9 mm (0.34 vs 0.32, P < 0.001) resolution. Bland-Altman differences in forward volume (-2 mL [-8 to 3 mL]), regurgitant volume (0 mL [-3 to 2 mL]), and a fraction (0% [-5 to 4%]) showed good agreement between the two techniques in a retrospective cohort. Differences in forward volume (1 mL [-11 to 14 ml]) also showed good agreement in the prospective cohort. There was a strong correlation (all r > 0.90) between GRAPPA and CRISPFlow measurements of flow in both studies.
Conclusion: We demonstrated the potential of CRISPFlow to accelerate phase contrast CMR.

Clinical practice guidelines for esophagogastric junction cancer (EGJ GLs) were published in 2023. In order to evaluate how EGJ GLs have been adopted into clinical practice worldwide and to identify any outstanding clinical questions to be addressed in the next edition, this survey was conducted. An electronic questionnaire was developed.

For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells to function effectively. This study uses one-hour phase-contrast time-lapses of single-cell bacterial growth collected from microfluidic chip traps, also known as a "mother machine".

Mindfulness beyond secularization: Beliefs across meditators and non-meditators reflect a consensus on personal development over health and spirituality.

Background: Mindfulness meditation (MM), originating from spiritual traditions but widely promoted as a secular and beneficial practice, is increasingly debated due to potential adverse effects, ethical concerns, and its ties with neoliberal imperatives, challenging its image as a universal remedy. Beliefs about MM strongly influence its reception, usage, and effects but remain understudied, especially in comparing meditators and non-meditators. Understanding these beliefs is key to clarifying how lay perceptions align or diverge from scientific frameworks and to grasp individuals' expectations and motivations, notably in clinical contexts.

Background: Digital media frequently contains positive portrayals of alcohol content, which has been shown to be associated with alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors. Because youth are heavy media consumers and have access to unsupervised, repeat viewing of media content on their personal mobile devices, it is critical to understand the frequency of encountering alcohol content in adolescents' daily lives and how adolescents engage with the content.
Objective: This paper outlines the study protocol for examining adolescents' exposure to alcohol-related content in digital media within their natural environments.
