Making it relevant: A codesign and cultural acceptability study of Be Real's BodyKind Ireland body image programme for older adolescents.

Body image is an established public health concern and there is a pressing need for evidence-informed universal programmes for older adolescents. To ensure high standard, quality programmes, there have been calls to adapt existing programmes to different contexts in ways that ensure materials are relevant, but still aligned with their theoretical foundations. This study outlines the cultural adaptation of the BodyKind programme in Ireland, which was initially developed in the USA, to address an unmet need to provide an inclusive, strengths-focused, school-based body image intervention for older adolescents. After receiving BodyKind, codesign workshops were conducted with 12 adolescents aged 15-16 years, who provided feedback and designed content (examples/scenarios) to increase the programme's relevance for adolescents. Feedback on cultural appropriateness of programme materials were obtained via interviews with six female post-primary teachers and one mental health clinician. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. BodyKind was perceived as highly acceptable by stakeholders who offered suggestions for programme refinement. Themes included 1.) Programme acceptability, 2.) Implementation considerations, 3.) Programme refinement. This study used multi-stakeholder feedback to engage in cultural adaptation of BodyKind prior to further evaluation, thereby informing efforts to implement sustainable and scalable programmes in schools.

Socioecological Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Victimization in Post-Secondary Students in Ireland: A Brief Report.

Although numerous predictors of sexual violence (SV) have been identified, there is a need to further explore protective factors and examine the nature and strength of associations between predictors and SV outcomes using a hierarchical predictive model. Cross-sectional data from the My World Survey Post-Second Level (2019) in Ireland were used. The sample contained 8, 288 post-secondary students, 69% female, aged 18 to 25 years (M = 20.25, SD = 1.85). Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify correlates of two SV outcomes (i.e., forced/pressured to have sex and being touched in a sexual manner without consent) across societal, community, relationship, and individual levels. Approximately 25% of females and 10% of males reported being forced/pressured to have sex, whereas 55% of females and 23% of males reported being touched in a sexual manner without consent. Key predictors of SV in multivariate analyses included being female and experiencing violence in a romantic relationship, whereas discrimination, living on campus or in rented accommodation (compared with living at home) were also significant predictors of both SV outcomes. Parental conflict, sexual initiation, depressive symptoms, older age, and an avoidant coping style significantly predicted being forced/pressured to have sex, whereas being bullied and engaging in problem drinking were unique predictors of being touched sexually without consent. Findings highlight the importance of considering salient risk and protective factors at the individual, relationship, community and societal level to predict SV and effectively guide the delivery of interventions and support services for post-secondary students affected by SV.

Christmas tree fir green is not the intensive care unit's favourite colour.

A patient in her 60s presented to a district general hospital with headache, loss of consciousness, and vomiting. She was diagnosed with a subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to an anterior communicating artery aneurysm and was transferred to a tertiary unit for coiling of the aneurysm under the neurosurgical team. She was intubated and had close observational monitoring, where it was noted that her oxygen saturations, obtained using finger-pulse oximetry, varied between 94% and 100%. Each fingernail had a different acrylic nail polish colour which we believe resulted in these inconsistent readings. The dark forest green colour consistently gave a significantly lower oxygen saturation reading when compared with our control, which was the arterial blood gas oxygen saturation, whereas orange and purple were most like our control. We therefore found that the varied colours painted on acrylic nails affected oxygen saturation readings differently. This difference could affect treatment pathways for patients in theatre and the intensive care unit.

Protocol of a cluster randomised trial of BodyKind: a school-based body image programme for adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Poor body image is prevalent among adolescents and associated with several negative outcomes for their physical and psychological health. There is a pressing need to address this growing public health concern, yet there are few evidence-informed universal programmes for older adolescents that address contemporary body image concerns (i.e., social media). BodyKind is a four lesson, school-based, teacher led, universal body image programme that incorporates empirically supported principles of cognitive dissonance, self-compassion, compassion for others and social activism, to support positive body image development. Building on previous pilot trials in the USA, this paper outlines the protocol for a cluster randomised control trial (cRCT) and implementation evaluation of the BodyKind programme which was culturally adapted for the Irish cultural context. METHODS: We aim to recruit 600 students aged 15-17 years in Transition Year (4th year) across 26 second-level schools in Ireland. Using minimisation, schools will be randomly assigned to receive BodyKind (intervention condition, n=300) or classes as usual (waitlist control, n=300). Teachers in intervention groups will receive training and deliver the programme to students over four weeks, at a rate of one lesson per week. Primary outcomes of body appreciation, body dissatisfaction and psychological wellbeing and secondary outcomes of self-compassion, compassion for others, body ideal internalisation, social justice motives and appearance-based social media use will be assessed at pre-, post- and 2 month follow up. Mediation and moderation analyses will be conducted to identify how and for whom the intervention works best. An implementation evaluation will assess the quality of programme implementation across schools and how this may influence intervention outcomes. Waitlist control schools will receive the programme after the 2-month follow up. CONCLUSION: This study will be the first to implement a cRCT and an implementation evaluation to assess the impact of this multicomponent school-based body image programme designed to support healthy body image development. If shown to be effective, BodyKind will have the potential to improve adolescent body image and wellbeing and inform efforts to implement sustainable and scalable programmes in schools. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was retrospectively registered on 10/10/2023 on ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06076993 .

Pilot feasibility and acceptability trial of BE REAL's BodyKind: A universal school-based body image intervention for adolescents.

Body dissatisfaction is prevalent among adolescents and a primary risk factor for eating disorders, yet there are few body image interventions for older adolescents that support development of positive body image. Therefore, we assessed the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of BodyKind, a four-lesson, mixed gender, teacher-led, school-based curriculum for older adolescents, that combines principles of self-compassion, compassion for others, cognitive dissonance, and social activism to address contemporary adolescent body image concerns (i.e., appearance bias, comparisons on social media) and strengthen positive body image development. The sample contained 147 adolescents, predominantly racial/ethnic minorities (>95%), 54.8% male, 41.5% female and 4.1% gender-minority students aged 15-18 years (M=16.24, SD=.96) from a low-income, inner-city high school in the Midwestern US. Two teachers received training and delivered the curriculum to students. This single arm, mixed methods trial assessed student and teacher acceptability, teacher fidelity and student intervention outcomes. Despite reasonable teacher fidelity, recruitment/attendance rates, post-intervention data loss (35% attrition) limited evaluations of program effectiveness and study feasibility. Important learnings regarding study feasibility will inform optimisation for future school-based trials. Findings demonstrate high acceptability of BodyKind among teachers and adolescents in a lower socioeconomic school setting, and further randomized controlled effectiveness trials are required.

Deep-Learning for Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessment With Computed Tomography: Implications for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction.

BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is a marker of visceral obesity that can be measured in coronary computed tomography angiograms (CCTA). The clinical value of integrating this measurement in routine CCTA interpretation has not been documented. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to develop a deep-learning network for automated quantification of EAT volume from CCTA, test it in patients who are technically challenging, and validate its prognostic value in routine clinical care. METHODS: The deep-learning network was trained and validated to autosegment EAT volume in 3,720 CCTA scans from the ORFAN (Oxford Risk Factors and Noninvasive Imaging Study) cohort. The model was tested in patients with challenging anatomy and scan artifacts and applied to a longitudinal cohort of 253 patients post-cardiac surgery and 1,558 patients from the SCOT-HEART (Scottish Computed Tomography of the Heart) Trial, to investigate its prognostic value. RESULTS: External validation of the deep-learning network yielded a concordance correlation coefficient of 0.970 for machine vs human. EAT volume was associated with coronary artery disease (odds ratio [OR] per SD increase in EAT volume: 1.13 [95% CI: 1.04-1.30]; P = 0.01), and atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.25 [95% CI: 1.08-1.40]; P = 0.03), after correction for risk factors (including body mass index). EAT volume predicted all-cause mortality (HR per SD: 1.28 [95% CI: 1.10-1.37]; P = 0.02), myocardial infarction (HR: 1.26 [95% CI:1.09-1.38]; P = 0.001), and stroke (HR: 1.20 [95% CI: 1.09-1.38]; P = 0.02) independently of risk factors in SCOT-HEART (5-year follow-up). It also predicted in-hospital (HR: 2.67 [95% CI: 1.26-3.73]; P ≤ 0.01) and long-term post-cardiac surgery atrial fibrillation (7-year follow-up; HR: 2.14 [95% CI: 1.19-2.97]; P ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Automated assessment of EAT volume is possible in CCTA, including in patients who are technically challenging; it forms a powerful marker of metabolically unhealthy visceral obesity, which could be used for cardiovascular risk stratification.

Intercultural insights on the impact of different non-idealized models on men's body image and advertising perceptions.

This experiment with 363 Irish and Flemish men aged 19 to 30 years (M = 23.56, SD = 2.36) investigated exposure to different male model ads (i.e. muscular, slim, plus-size, overall diversity, and no models) on well-being (i.e. body image, low body fat and muscularity attitudes, self-objectification, and self-esteem) and advertising outcomes (i.e. ad attitudes, brand attitudes, and purchase intent). Moderation effects of country and masculinity (i.e. dominance, winning) were investigated. The diversity condition generated more positive effects for low body fat attitudes than the muscular, slim, and no model conditions. Yet, no differences appeared for this outcome between the diversity and plus-size condition. No effects for the other well-being and advertising variables were found. Moderation analyses revealed higher purchase intent in the slim condition for men high in dominance. No effects were found for country and winning. Findings suggest that non-idealized models have protective effects for some men.

Pulmonary hypertension: the hallmark of acute COVID-19 microvascular angiopathy?

In situ pulmonary arterial thrombosis in COVID-19 is not visible on CTPA. However, the presence of CT-measured right heart and pulmonary artery dilatation in COVID-19 is likely attributable to this process and may be a possible surrogate for its detection. https://bit.ly/3g7z5TV.

Comprehensive Phenotypic Characterization of Late Gadolinium Enhancement Predicts Sudden Cardiac Death in Coronary Artery Disease.

BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) offers the potential to noninvasively characterize the phenotypic substrate for sudden cardiac death (SCD). OBJECTIVES: The authors assessed the utility of infarct characterization by CMR, including scar microstructure analysis, to predict SCD in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Patients with stable CAD were prospectively recruited into a CMR registry. LGE quantification of core infarction and the peri-infarct zone (PIZ) was performed alongside computational image analysis to extract morphologic and texture scar microstructure features. The primary outcome was SCD or aborted SCD. RESULTS: Of 437 patients (mean age: 64 years; mean left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]: 47%) followed for a median of 6.3 years, 49 patients (11.2%) experienced the primary outcome. On multivariable analysis, PIZ mass and core infarct mass were independently associated with the primary outcome (per gram: HR: 1.07 [95% CI: 1.02-1.12]; P = 0.002 and HR: 1.03 [95% CI: 1.01-1.05]; P = 0.01, respectively), and the addition of both parameters improved discrimination of the model (Harrell's C-statistic: 0.64-0.79). PIZ mass, however, did not provide incremental prognostic value over core infarct mass based on Harrell's C-statistic or risk reclassification analysis. Severely reduced LVEF did not predict the primary endpoint after adjustment for scar mass. On scar microstructure analysis, the number of LGE islands in addition to scar transmurality, radiality, interface area, and entropy were all associated with the primary outcome after adjustment for severely reduced LVEF and New York Heart Association functional class of >1. No scar microstructure feature remained associated with the primary endpoint when PIZ mass and core infarct mass were added to the regression models. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive LGE characterization independently predicted SCD risk beyond conventional predictors used in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) insertion guidelines. These results signify the potential for a more personalized approach to determining ICD candidacy in CAD.

Mental, physical and sexual health in sexual minority third-level students: Findings from My World Survey 2.

AIMS: Sexual minority youth experience health disparities across mental, physical and sexual domains. However, little is known about the extent to which mental health overlaps with sexual and physical health to compound health problems among sexual minority youth. This study examined risky health behaviours, adverse health outcomes, and their overlap across mental, physical and sexual domains, in lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning (LGBQ) and heterosexual third-level students in Ireland. METHOD: Cross-sectional data from the My World Survey 2-Post Second Level (MWS2-PSL) were used. Analyses were conducted on data from N = 7950 18-25-year-old students, of which 6204 (78%) identified as heterosexual, 910 (11.4%) bisexual, 412 (5.2%) lesbian/gay and 424 (5.3%) questioning. Risky health behaviours (e.g., self-harm), adverse outcomes (e.g., mental health difficulties, physical health conditions) and their overlap across mental, physical and sexual domains were compared across heterosexual and LGBQ students using Chi-square tests. Clustering of health behaviours/outcomes within and between domains were examined. RESULTS: LGBQ students were more likely to exhibit a greater number of risky mental and sexual health behaviours and outcomes. Sexual, physical and mental health behaviours and outcomes overlapped to a greater extent in LGBQ versus heterosexual students. Distinct health outcomes were observed across sexual minority subgroups (e.g., bisexual women reported greater mental health difficulties). CONCLUSION: Findings demonstrate health inequalities experienced by LGBQ students, particularly across mental and sexual domains. Holistic integrated approaches that consider multiple health domains simultaneously and the distinct health needs of sexual minority subgroups are needed to promote greater health equity.

Pilot trial of a self-compassion intervention to address adolescents' social media-related body image concerns.

Introduction: Self-compassion interventions reduce body dissatisfaction in adults but have not been extensively investigated in adolescents. A novel 5-week Digital Social Media Adolescent Resilience Training intervention grounded in Gilbert's (2010) Compassionate Mind Training was adapted to address adolescent's social media-related body image concerns. Method: A convenience sample of 102 adolescents, 54 girls (53%), 48 boys (47%), aged 15-17 years (M=15.6, SD=0.46) were recruited from four mixed gender Irish Secondary Schools. Due to data loss because of Covid-19, analyses were conducted on data from 80 participants (24 boys, 56 girls). A mixed methods quasi-experimental design was used. Primary outcomes of self-compassion, self-criticism, social media comparisons and body image perceptions were quantitatively assessed at pre, post-intervention and 3-month follow up, while post-intervention focus groups qualitatively documented adolescents' responses to the programme. Results: Qualitative data indicated that the programme was feasible and acceptable. Analyses revealed significant increases in body appreciation and body satisfaction in the experimental group from pre- to post-intervention. Girls exhibited significant increases in body appreciation and reductions in self-criticism, while boys exhibited increases in body satisfaction. Improvements in body satisfaction were observed at 3-month follow up. Conclusions: Findings indicate that self-compassion has potential to improve adolescent's body image perceptions, but further research is warranted.

A cluster analysis of health behaviours and their relationship to mental health difficulties, life satisfaction and functioning in adolescents.

Research has documented relationships between individual health behaviours and mental health, but few studies have examined patterns of health behaviours (i.e., health lifestyles) and mental health outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between health lifestyles and mental health and psychological wellbeing in adolescents. Data from the My World Survey 2 - Second Level (MWS2-SL), a random national sample of 9493 adolescents (44.2% male) aged 12-18 years (M = 14.8, SD = 1.66) in second level education in Ireland were used. TwoStep cluster analysis identified clustering of health behaviours (sleep, alcohol use, cannabis use, social media use, sport and hobby participation). ANOVA and Chi Square tests identified potential differences in demographic characteristics (age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity) and psychological outcomes (anxiety, depression, life satisfaction, daily functioning) across clusters. Three clusters were identified; 1. Low (22.0%), 2. Moderate-high (41.5%) and 3. High (36.5%), health promoting. The 'Low' health-promoting cluster, characterised by high alcohol, cannabis and social media use, moderate sport and hobby participation, and low sleep duration, demonstrated the highest levels of anxiety and depression and the lowest levels of life satisfaction, self-esteem and daily functioning. The 'High' health-promoting cluster reported the most favourable psychological outcomes. Cluster 1 were more likely to be older and male, Cluster 3 were more likely to be younger and female. Findings demonstrate the potential for health promotive lifestyles to mitigate mental health difficulties and promote life satisfaction and daily functioning in adolescents. Health lifestyles represent important indicators of mental health and targets for prevention/promotion efforts.

Systematic Review of Digital Interventions for Adolescent and Young Adult Women's Body Image.

Background: A growing number of digital interventions have been developed to address a range of mental health issues including body image. Identifying effective interventions for body image is important given the prevalence of body image concerns and their associated negative outcomes among young women. This review aimed to critically evaluate current evidence on the use of digital interventions for adolescent and young adult women's body image. Methods: A literature search was performed in November 2021 across three databases, PsychINFO, Web of Science and Pubmed to identify studies published with keywords and synonyms of "body image" and "digital interventions" that have been conducted with girls/women aged 10-25 years. Studies were included if they assessed a universal body image intervention delivered through a digital platform (e.g., web-based, mobile phone) and if they reported body image outcomes using validated measures. Two authors independently screened studies extracted data and assessed the quality of studies. Results: Eight of 15 interventions were effective in improving at least one body image outcome from pre-post intervention; however, effect sizes were mostly small-medium, and few effects were maintained at follow-up. Studies were heterogeneous in terms of delivery format, duration, sample characteristics, quality, and outcomes. Discussion: Findings suggest that digitally delivered interventions can effectively improve some body image outcomes in young women. Characteristics of effective studies are discussed and suggestions for future work on intervention development in this field are provided.

CT multivessel aggregate stenosis score: A novel point-of-care tool for predicting major adverse cardiac events.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the utility of a novel 15-point multivessel aggregate stenosis (MVAS) score for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in low-risk patients with suspected ischaemic symptoms undergoing CTCA. Prognostic performance was compared with the Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) classification and the 16-point Segment Involvement Score (SIS). METHODS: 772 consecutive patients underwent CTCA and coronary artery calcification scoring (CACS) from 2010 to 2015. Coronary artery disease severity was calculated according to CAD-RADS class (0-5 â€‹± â€‹vulnerability modifier), the SIS (0-16), and an MVAS score (0-15) based on the aggregate stenosis severity in all 4 coronary vessels (maximum 12 points) plus the presence of any high-risk plaque features (additional 3 points). 52 patients were referred directly for coronary angiography based on CTCA findings and were excluded; the remainder were followed-up for 64.6 â€‹± â€‹19.1 months. RESULTS: 54 â€‹MACE were observed in 720 patients (7.5%); MACE patients had higher CAD-RADS class (3.92 â€‹± â€‹0.7 vs 0.91 â€‹± â€‹1.2, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001), SIS (4.59 â€‹± â€‹2.7 vs 0.79 â€‹± â€‹1.2, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001), and MVAS scores (10.1 â€‹± â€‹1.7 vs 1.7 â€‹± â€‹2.1, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001). Adjusted Cox proportional hazards analysis identified CAD-RADS class (HR 2.96 (2.2-4), p â€‹< â€‹0.0001), SIS (HR 1.29 (1.2-1.4, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001), and MVAS score (HR 1.82 (1.6-2.1), p â€‹< â€‹0.0001) as predictors of MACE. Adjusted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis found MVAS a more powerful predictor of MACE than CAD-RADS and SIS (AUC: 0.92 vs 0.84 vs 0.83, p â€‹= â€‹0.018). CONCLUSIONS: CAD-RADS and SIS are reliable predictors of MACE, and the MVAS score provided incremental prognostic data. MVAS may potentiate risk stratification, particularly in institutions without advanced plaque analysis software.

Profiling third-level student mental health: findings from My World Survey 2.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify risk and protective factors for mental health across student cohorts to guide mental health provision. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from the My World Survey 2-Post Second Level (MWS2-PSL) were used. The sample consisted of N = 9935 students (18-65 years) from 12 third-level institutions (7 out of 7 universities and 5 out of 14 Institute of Technologies (IoTs)) across Ireland. Key outcomes of interest were depression, anxiety and suicidality. Risk factors included drug/alcohol use, risky sexual behaviours and exposure to stressors. Protective factors included coping strategies, help-seeking, resilience, self-esteem, life satisfaction, optimism and social support. These factors were profiled by degree type (undergraduate, postgraduate taught, postgraduate research), access route, and institution type (IoT, university). Chi-square tests of Independence and one-way ANOVAs compared groups on key risk and protective factors. RESULTS: A total 71% of respondents were female, 85% were aged 23 or under and there was a 2.2% response rate in IoTs versus 10.6% in university students. Undergraduates demonstrated higher levels of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation than postgraduates. Undergraduates showed higher risk and lower protective factors than postgraduates. Students attending Institutes of Technology reported higher levels of depression and anxiety, lower protective and higher risk factors than university students. CONCLUSION: In this sample of students, undergraduates, especially those attending Institutes of Technology, were at increased risk of mental health difficulties. Findings suggest the need to tailor interventions to meet cohort needs, and consider the differing vulnerabilities and strengths across student cohorts. Due to limitations of this study, such as selection bias, further research is warranted.

Prevalence and Disease Spectrum of Extracoronary Arterial Abnormalities in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

Importance: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been associated with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and other extracoronary arterial abnormalities. However, the prevalence, severity, and clinical relevance of these abnormalities remain unclear. Objective: To assess the prevalence and spectrum of FMD and other extracoronary arterial abnormalities in patients with SCAD vs controls. Design, Setting, and Participants: This case series included 173 patients with angiographically confirmed SCAD enrolled between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Imaging of extracoronary arterial beds was performed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Forty-one healthy individuals were recruited to serve as controls for blinded interpretation of MRA findings. Patients were recruited from the UK national SCAD registry, which enrolls throughout the UK by referral from the primary care physician or patient self-referral through an online portal. Participants attended the national SCAD referral center for assessment and MRA. Exposures: Both patients with SCAD and healthy controls underwent head-to-pelvis MRA (median time between SCAD event and MRA, 1 [IQR, 1-3] year). Main Outcome and Measures: The diagnosis of FMD, arterial dissections, and aneurysms was established according to the International FMD Consensus. Arterial tortuosity was assessed both qualitatively (presence or absence of an S curve) and quantitatively (number of curves ≥45%; tortuosity index). Results: Of the 173 patients with SCAD, 167 were women (96.5%); mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 44.5 (7.9) years. The prevalence of FMD was 31.8% (55 patients); 16 patients (29.1% of patients with FMD) had involvement of multiple vascular beds. Thirteen patients (7.5%) had extracoronary aneurysms and 3 patients (1.7%) had dissections. The prevalence and degree of arterial tortuosity were similar in patients and controls. In 43 patients imaged with both computed tomographic angiography and MRA, the identification of clinically significant remote arteriopathies was similar. Over a median 5-year follow-up, there were 2 noncardiovascular-associated deaths and 35 recurrent myocardial infarctions, but there were no primary extracoronary vascular events. Conclusions and Relevance: In this case series with blinded analysis of patients with SCAD, severe multivessel FMD, aneurysms, and dissections were infrequent. The findings of this study suggest that, although brain-to-pelvis imaging allows detection of remote arteriopathies that may require follow-up, extracoronary vascular events appear to be rare.

Clinical Significance of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connections (Isolated and Atrial Septal Defect Associated) Determined by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.

BACKGROUND: Partial anomalous venous connections (PAPVC) are associated with left to right shunting and right heart dilatation. Identification of PAPVC has increased with widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities. However, management strategies are mostly based on expert opinion given the scarcity of data from large series. We aimed to define types and significance of isolated and atrial septal defect (ASD) associated PAPVC detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our cardiovascular magnetic resonance database from 2002 to 2018 to identify isolated or ASD-associated PAPVC cases. RESULTS: A total of 215 patients (median age 46 years; range, 6-83) with isolated or ASD-associated PAPVC were identified among 102 135 clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance studies. Of these, 104 were isolated and 111 were associated with an ASD. Anomalous connection of right upper pulmonary vein was the most common single venous anomaly (99/215), but in the isolated PAPVC group there were more anomalous left than right upper pulmonary veins (39 versus 34). The Qp/Qs was significantly higher for isolated anomalous single right upper pulmonary vein than left upper pulmonary vein (1.6 versus 1.4 respectively; P=0.01) as were right ventricular end-diastolic volumes (113.7±30.9 versus 90 [57-157] mL/m2, P=0.004). In the PAPVC with an ASD group, sinus venosus ASDs (82%) were associated with right-sided PAPVCs while both right and left-sided venous anomalies were seen in secundum ASDs (18%). In a substantial number of patients (30 out of 91) with sinus venosus ASDs, PAPVCs were more complex and involved more than a single anomalous right upper pulmonary vein; and in 5 patients with ASD, PAPVC was identified only after the ASD closure. CONCLUSIONS: This large series provides descriptive and hemodynamic features for isolated and ASD-associated PAPVCs. Anomalous isolated right upper pulmonary vein may cause a significant shunt (Qp/Qs >1.5). PAPVC associated with sinus venosus and secundum ASDs might be more complex than a single anomalous pulmonary vein and missed before ASD correction.

Processing Body Image on Social Media: Gender Differences in Adolescent Boys' and Girls' Agency and Active Coping.

Although scholars continue to debate the influence of social media on body image, increased social media use, especially engaging in appearance-related behaviors may be a potential risk factor for body dissatisfaction in adolescents. Little research has investigated how adolescents process appearance-related content and the potential strategies they use to protect body image perceptions on social media. To investigate coping strategies used by adolescents, four qualitative focus groups were conducted with 29 adolescents (23 girls) aged 15-16 years (M = 15.31, SD = 0.47) in mixed-gender Irish secondary schools. Thematic analysis revealed that adolescents employed many different behavioral strategies such as avoiding negative content and selecting positive content. Cognitive processing strategies such as critically evaluating body-related content, psychologically distancing from and positively reframing challenging content were also used, although less frequently. Boys appeared to exhibit greater positive agency over their bodies and social media use and tended to use more active coping styles than girls. Efforts to promote body image on social media such as body positive pages and exposing artificial social media content were considered limited in their effectiveness.
