To describe an approach for detection of respiratory signals using a transmitted radiofrequency (RF) reference signal called Pilot-Tone (PT) and to use the PT signal for creation of motion-resolved images based on 3D stack-of-stars imaging under free-breathing conditions.

This work explores the use of a reference RF signal generated by a small RF transmitter, placed outside the MR bore. The reference signal is received in parallel to the MR signal during each readout. Because the received PT amplitude is modulated by the subject's breathing pattern, a respiratory signal can be obtained by detecting the strength of the received PT signal over time. The breathing-induced PT signal modulation can then be used for reconstructing motion-resolved images from free-breathing scans. BMS-927711 CGRP Receptor antagonist The PT approach was tested in volunteers using a radial stack-of-stars 3D gradient echo (GRE) sequence with golden-angle acquisition.

Respiratory signals derived from the proposed PT method were compared to signals from a respiratory cushion sensor and k-space-center-based self-navigation under different breathing conditions. Moreover, the accuracy was assessed using a modified acquisition scheme replacing the golden-angle scheme by a zero-angle acquisition. Incorporating the PT signal into eXtra-Dimensional (XD) motion-resolved reconstruction led to improved image quality and clearer anatomical depiction of the lung and liver compared to k-space-center signal and motion-averaged reconstruction, when binned into 6, 8, and 10 motion states.

PT is a novel concept for tracking respiratory motion. Its small dimension (8 cm), high sampling rate, and minimal interaction with the imaging scan offers great potential for resolving respiratory motion.

Because of the extensive use of this drug, further evaluation of acute liver injury (ALI) with therapeutic doses of acetaminophen (APAP; ≤6g/d) is required. We characterize ALI with therapeutic doses of APAP and determine the host factors associated with disease severity and the predictors of outcome.

All patients admitted with severe APAP-related ALI in our center were included from 2002 to 2019, either attributable to therapeutic doses or overdose. ALI with therapeutic doses (ALITD) was defined as APAP intake <6g/d. Overall, 311 of 400 patients with APAP-related ALI had overdose and 89 had taken therapeutic doses. The host factors associated with ALITD were fasting ≥1day (47.5% of ALITD patients vs. 26% in overdose; P=0.001), excess drinking (93.3% vs. 48.5%; P<0.0001), and repeated APAP use (4 vs. 1day; P<0.0001). Patients with ALITD were older (44 vs. 30.7years; P<0.0001) and had more severe liver injury. In the overall population, the independent predictors of disease severity were older age, longer duration of APAP, and excess drinking. Thirty-day survival was lower in ALITD than in overdose (87.2±3.6% vs. 94.6±1.3%; P=0.02). Age and the presence of at least one of the King's College Hospital criteria were independent predictors of 30-day survival whereas the pattern of drug intoxication, excess drinking, and bilirubin were not.

ALI with therapeutic doses of APAP is associated with more severe liver injury than overdose. It only occurs in patients with excess drinking and/or fasting. A warning should be issued about the repeated use of nontoxic doses of APAP in patients with those risk factors.

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) categorises patients with selective and/or restrictive eating patterns in the absence of distorted cognition concerning weight, food, and body image.

To examine the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients with ARFID in comparison to those with anorexia nervosa (AN) and to a non-clinical group (NCG).

A descriptive, observational, comparative study made up of three groups (ARFID, AN and NCG). Ninety-nine children and adolescents were analyzed by means of a semi-structured diagnostic interview and questionnaires on depression, anxiety, clinical fears and general psychopathology.

The ARFID group was significantly younger (10.8 vs. 14.1 years of age), with a greater proportion of males (60.6% vs. 6.1%), an earlier onset of illness (6.2 vs. 13.4 years of age), and a longer period of evolution of the illness (61.2 vs. 8.4 months) compared to the AN group. Clinically, patients with ARFID showed greater medical (42.4% vs. 12.1%) and psychiatric (81.8%.Historically, double or triple hit lymphoma (DHL and THL) have poor outcomes with conventional chemotherapy, but there is currently no guideline. We report the French experience in managing DHL and THL in first line using collective data on both survival and tolerance. All consecutive patients with newly diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma with MYC, BCL2, and/or BCL6 rearrangements, as determined by FISH between January 2013 and April 2019 were included. Based on the eligibility criteria, 160 patients were selected among the 184 patients identified. With a median follow-up of 32 months, 2- and 4-year progression free survival (PFS) rates were 40% and 28% with R-CHOP compared with 57% and 52% with intensive chemotherapy (P = .063). There was no difference in overall survival (OS). For advanced stages, PFS was significantly longer with intensive chemotherapy than with R-CHOP (P = .029). There was no impact of autologous stem cell transplantation among patient in remission. For patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement, the 2-year PFS and OS rate was 21% and 39%, vs 57% and 75% without CNS disease (P = .007 and P less then  .001). By multivariate analysis, elevated IPI score and CNS disease were strongly and independently associated with a poorer survival, whereas treatment was not significantly associated with OS. This is the largest series reporting the treatment of DHL and THL in Europe. The PFS was significantly longer with an intensive regimen for advanced stage, but no difference in OS, supporting the need for a prospective randomized trial.
