    Abstract This is the third in a series of four papers updating the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) standards for the care of people with CF. This paper focuses on recognising and addressing CF health issues. The guidance was produced with wide stakeholder engagement, including people from the CF community, using an evidence-based framework. Authors contributed sections, and summary statements which were reviewed by a Delphi consultation. Monitoring and treating airway infection, inflammation and pulmonary exacerbations remains important, despite the widespread availability of CFTR modulators and their accompanying health improvements. Extrapulmonary CF-specific health issues persist, such as diabetes, liver disease, bone disease, stones and other renal issues, and intestinal obstruction. These health issues require multidisciplinary care with input from the relevant specialists. Cancer is more common in people with CF compared to the general population, and requires regular screening. The CF life journey requires mental and emotional adaptation to psychosocial and physical challenges, with support from the CF team and the CF psychologist. This is particularly important when life gets challenging, with disease progression requiring increased treatments, breathing support and potentially transplantation. Planning for end of life remains a necessary aspect of care and should be discussed openly, honestly, with sensitivity and compassion for the person with CF and their family. CF teams should proactively recognise and address CF-specific health issues, and support mental and emotional wellbeing while accompanying people with CF and their families on their life journey.

    Abstract Background: Limited research exists examining the predictors of suicide attempts by mechanism.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of traumatic suicide attempts in youth.
    Methods: Data came from patients 5-18 years of age presenting because of a suicide attempt at 2 hospitals in Central Texas with level I trauma centers. Univariate logistic regression examined the association between traumatic suicide attempts and variables describing the patient's demographic, mental health, and social information. We used the Mann-Whitney U test to examine the association between traumatic suicide attempts and the continuous variable of age.
    Results: Of 231 patients included in this study, most were female (75.8%), non-Hispanic white (48.1%), and had a median age of 15.0 years (interquartile range 14-16). Compared with patients presenting because of an intentional overdose, patients presenting because of traumatic suicide attempts were associated with a reported criminal history (odds ratio [OR] 14.50 [95% confidence interval {CI} 3.84-54.82]), reported Child Protective Services history (OR 3.26 [95% CI 0.99-10.77]), being publicly insured or uninsured (OR 1.80 [95% CI 1.02-3.19]), male (OR 2.37 [95% CI 1.28-4.38]), and identifying as Hispanic (OR 2.01 [95% CI 1.10-3.68).
    Conclusions: Our findings inform targeted preventative resources and education efforts to populations of greatest need.

    Abstract This prospective study investigated the validity of arterialised-venous blood gases (AVBG) for estimating arterial carbon dioxide P CO2, pH and bicarbonate (HCO3(-)) in people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). AVBGs were obtained from an upper limb vein, after heating the skin at 42-46°C. Arterial blood gas (ABG) and AVBG samples were taken simultaneously and compared using Bland Altman analysis. Between-group differences were assessed with independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests. Forty-two viable paired samples were analysed, including 27 paired samples from 15 OHS participants, and 15 paired samples from 16 controls. AVBG-ABG agreement was not different between groups, or between dorsal hand, forearm and antecubital AVBG sampling sites, and was clinically acceptable for P Co2: mean difference (MD) 0.4 mmHg (0.9%), limits of agreement (LOA) -2.7-3.6 mmHg (± 6.6%); pH: MD -0.008 (-0.1%), LOA -0.023-0.008 (± 0.2%); and HCO3(-): MD -0.3 mmol L(-1) (-1.0%), LOA -1.8-1.2 mmol L(-1) (± 5.3%). AVBG provides valid measures of [Formula: see text] , pH, and HCO3(-) in OHS.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate fast 3D near-infrared breast imaging using the optical contrast agent indocyanine green (ICG) for the detection and characterization of breast lesions.
    Materials and methods: 30 patients with suspicious breast lesions on mammography and/or ultrasound underwent fast 2 Hz 3D optical mammography before, during, and after administration of a 25 mg ICG bolus prior to needle biopsy. The bolus kinetics is analyzed using two perfusion parameters and a derived parameter: "peak amplitude" (PA), "time-to-peak" (TTP) and "peak-time grouped amplitude" (PTA). A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed to define a PTA cut-off for reader-independent differentiation of benign and malignant lesions. 8 patients had to be excluded from data analysis. Overall 14 breasts bearing a malignant lesion, 8 breasts bearing a benign lesion and 3 healthy breasts were analyzed.
    Results: The cut-off-based PTA analysis allowed correct detection for 12 of 14 malignant lesions (tumor size: 8 - 80 mm; sensitivity = 85.7 %). Two malignant lesions were missed. In the benign study group only one fibroadenoma was detected (specificity = 87.5 %). The PTA values differed significantly between the benign group and the malignant group (Mann-Whitney U-test, p < 0.05). Breasts with malignant lesions showed higher peaks at early time-points in ICG perfusion.
    Conclusion: Early perfusion analysis of ICG-enhanced 3D fast optical mammography revealed different enhancement patterns for benign and malignant lesions. This approach might help with the detection of malignant breast lesions and the differentiation from benign lesions.

    Abstract ZIEL: Evaluierung eines schnellen 3-D-Nah-Infrarot-Bildgebungsverfahrens unter Verwendung von Indocyaningrün (ICG) für die Detektion und Charakterisierung von Brustläsionen. MATERIAL UND METHODEN: 30 Patientinnen mit mammografisch und/oder sonografisch detektierten suspekten Brustläsionen wurden mit einem schnellen optischen 2 Hz 3-D-Mammografen vor, während und nach Gabe eines 25 mg ICG-Bolus vor histologischer Sicherung mittels Stanzbiopsie untersucht. Die Boluskinetik wurde mithilfe von zwei Perfusionsparametern und einem abgeleiteten Parameter analysiert: „peak amplitude” (PA), „time to peak” (TTP) und „peak-time grouped amplitude” (PTA). Mithilfe einer Receiver-operating-characteristic(ROC)-Analyse wurde ein PTA-Cut-off-Wert für eine untersucherunabhängige Differenzierung zwischen benignen und malignen Läsionen festgelegt. Acht Patientinnen mussten von der Datenauswertung ausgeschlossen werden. Insgesamt wurden 14 Brüste mit malignen Läsionen, 8 Brüste mit benignen Läsionen und drei gesunde Brüste analysiert. ERGEBNISSE: Die cut-off-basierte PTA-Analyse führte zur korrekten Detektion bei 12 von 14 malignen Läsionen (Tumorgröße 8 – 80 mm; Sensitivität = 85,7 %). Zwei maligne Läsionen wurden nicht erkannt. In der benignen Studiengruppe wurde lediglich ein Fibroadenom detektiert (Spezifität = 87.5 %). PTA-Werte unterschieden sich signifikant für benigne und maligne Studiengruppe (Mann-Whitney U Test, p < 0,05). Brüste mit malignen Läsionen zeigten höhere Peaks zu früheren Zeitpunkten in der ICG-Perfusion. SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG: Die frühe Perfusionsanalyse in der ICG-gestützten optischen 3-D-Mammografie konnte unterschiedliche Muster der Kontrastmittelaufnahme in benignen und malignen Läsionen aufzeigen. Dieser Ansatz könnte der Detektion maligner Brustläsionen und der Abgrenzung zu benignen Herden dienen.
