This study examined Black and White young women's perceptions of parental body- and eating-related attitudes and behaviors from growing up and the relations of these parental factors with their current body image. Female undergraduates (97 Black women, 179 White women) completed questionnaires of perceptions of parental attitudes/behaviors related to body image and eating and of their current body image, operationalized as weight/shape concern. Results indicated that perceived parental communication was more strongly related to body image than perceived parental modeling in both ethnic groups, and that there were some differences in how frequently Black and White women reported encountering specific maternal messages about the body or eating. Perceived parental modeling and communication constructs were related to body image in similar ways for both ethnic groups after controlling for BMI. Future research directions are discussed.

Despite advances in precision oncology, clinical decision-making still relies on limited variables and expert knowledge. To address this limitation, we combined multimodal real-world data and explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) to introduce AI-derived (AID) markers for clinical decision support. We used xAI to decode the outcome of 15,726 patients across 38 solid cancer entities based on 350 markers, including clinical records, image-derived body compositions, and mutational tumor profiles.

Flexible and wireless metasurface coils for knee and elbow MRI.

Eur Radiol Exp

January 2025

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.

Background: Metasurface coils (MCs) are a promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Aiming to evaluate the image quality of MCs for knee and elbow imaging, we compared signal-to-noise ratio (SNRs) obtained in standard clinical setups.

Methods: Knee and elbow MRI routine sequences were applied at 1.

Interest in positive body image stems from its contrast with negative body image. Research shows self-compassion and physical activity enhance body appreciation and positive well-being, yet their interaction in young adults is not well understood. This study examined connections between self-compassion, planned physical activity and intrinsic exercise motivations in 386 adults aged 18-39 ( = 27.

The present study explored how patterns of sociocultural appearance pressures were linked to positive and negative facets of body image and eating behaviors in an adolescent sample (N = 438). Latent profile analyses indicated three distinct subgroups of perceived sociocultural appearance-related pressures: a Generalized-Pressure profile (28.8%) (moderate pressure from mother, father, and peers, and relatively high pressure from the media), a High-Media-Pressure profile (38.

Background: Indications for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and reduction of complications require evaluation of the plaque properties and location of the distal end of the plaque. High cervical location can be predicted from the anatomy of the vertebral body and mandibular bones, and the locations of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and stylohyoid muscle. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without contrast medium is useful for preoperative evaluation of the plaque, arteries, and bone characterization.
