TL;DR: The qualitative behaviour of eddy currents in JPRESS is outlined and a 2D eddy current correction procedure based on the 1D phase deconvolution method is proposed.
Abstract: Localised two-dimensional J-resolved spectroscopy (JPRESS) is optimised for the in vivo detection of J-coupled metabolites using magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3 T. The acquisition of echo signals starts as early as possible (i.e. maximum-echo sampling). This sampling scheme increases sensitivity and decreases overlap of peak tails, hence alleviating baseline problems. Reconstruction issues are discussed and the sensitivity is compared analytically with that of 1D PRESS. The qualitative behaviour of eddy currents in JPRESS is outlined and a 2D eddy current correction procedure based on the 1D phase deconvolution method is proposed.

TL;DR: Aberrant neuronal activation patterns of the pgACC in anhedonic depression are related to deficits of glutamatergic metabolism, a cortical region linked to anhedonia.
Abstract: Context: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by diverse metabolic and functional abnormalities that occur in, among other regions, the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC), a cortical region linked to anhedonia. Objectives: To contextualize metabolic, functional, and clinical parameters and thus to reveal cellular mechanisms related to anhedonia. Design: The pgACC was investigated using a combined functional magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopic approach. Negative blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) activations in the pgACC were assessed during emotional stimulation. Quantitative J-resolved magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the pgACC enabled simultaneous determination of glutamine, glutamate,N-acetylaspartate, glucose, and-aminobutyric acid concentrations. Subjective emotional intensity ratings as well as various clinical parameters were determined. Setting: The patients were recruited and evaluated in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, while the measurements were performed in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Zurich and the Technical University Zurich. Participants: Nineteen unmedicated patients with MDD and 24 healthy subjects. Main Outcome Measures: Reduced glutamine levels and lower functional responses in pgACC in anhedonic depressed patients were expected to be the predominant effect of abnormal glutamatergic transmission. It was further tested if, among patients, the ratings of emotional intensity on visual stimulation predicted the amount of metabolic and functional alterations in terms of reduced relative metabolite concentrations and BOLD changes. Results: Patients with highly anhedonic MDD show decreased glutamine but normal glutamate and -aminobutyric acid concentrations, with glutamine concentrations being dissociated from glucose concentrations. Glutamate andN-acetylaspartate concentrations in pgACC correlate with negative BOLD responses induced by emotional stimulation in MDD; whereas in healthy subjects, negative BOLD responses correlate with -aminobutyric acid instead. Negative BOLD responses as well as glutamate and N-acetylaspartate concentrations correlate with emotional intensity ratings, an anhedonia surrogate, in those with MDD but not in healthy subjects.

TL;DR: Recent efforts to translate methodology using MRS to reliably measure in vivo D-2HG into clinical research are reviewed.
Abstract: The investigation of metabolic pathways disturbed in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant tumors revealed that the hallmark metabolic alteration is the production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG). The biological impact of D-2HG strongly suggests that high levels of this metabolite may play a central role in propagating downstream the effects of mutant IDH, leading to malignant transformation of cells. Hence, D-2HG may be an ideal biomarker for both diagnosing and monitoring treatment response targeting IDH mutations. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is well suited to the task of noninvasive D-2HG detection, and there has been much interest in developing such methods. Here, we review recent efforts to translate methodology using MRS to reliably measure in vivo D-2HG into clinical research.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the correlation time of the molecular random process is investigated and it is found that in the limit of short correlation times (extreme narrowing limit) weak negative cross peaks are observed.
Abstract: Two-dimensional N.M.R. spectroscopy is applied to the elucidation of cross relaxation pathways in liquids. The theory underlying two dimensional studies of cross relaxation and of transient nuclear Overhauser effects is developed. The influence of the correlation time of the molecular random process is investigated. It is found that in the limit of short correlation times (extreme narrowing limit) weak negative cross-peaks are observed. However, for long correlation times (spin diffusion limit) strong positive cross-peaks can be obtained. The technique appears particularly promising for the study of cross relaxation in macromolecules. Examples of intra- and intermolecular cross relaxation in the extreme narrowing limit are presented.

TL;DR: DRESS is a simple and versatile localization procedure that is readily adaptable to spectral relaxation time measurements by adding inversion or spin-echo refocusing pulses or to in vivo solvent-suppressed spectroscopy of proton (1H) metabolites using a combination of chemical-selective RF pulses.
Abstract: Spatial localization techniques are necessary for in vivo NMR spectroscopy involving heterogeneous organisms. Localization by surface coil NMR detection alone is generally inadequate for deep-lying organs due to contaminating signals from intervening surface tissues. However, localization to preselected planar volumes can be accomplished using a single selective excitation pulse in the presence of a pulsed magnetic field gradient, yielding depth-resolved surface coil spectra (DRESS). Within selected planes, DRESS are spatially restricted by the surface coil sensitivity profiles to disk-shaped volumes whose radii increase with depth, notwithstanding variations in the NMR signal density distribution. Nevertheless, DRESS is a simple and versatile localization procedure that is readily adaptable to spectral relaxation time measurements by adding inversion or spin-echo refocusing pulses or to in vivo solvent-suppressed spectroscopy of proton (1H) metabolites using a combination of chemical-selective RF pulses. Also, the spatial information gathering efficiency of the technique can be improved to provide simultaneous acquisition of spectra from multiple volumes by interleaving excitation of adjacent planes within the normal relaxation recovery period. The spatial selectivity can be improved by adding additional selective excitation spin-echo refocusing pulses to achieve full, three-dimensional point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) in a single excitation sequence. Alternatively, for samples with short spin-spin relaxation times, DRESS can be combined with other localization schemes, such as image-selected in vivo spectroscopy (ISIS), to provide complete gradient controlled three-dimensional localization with a reduced number of sequence cycles.
