Background: There is an unmet medical need for noninvasive techniques to determine disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has shown promising performance in this regard. In addition to parameters such as bowel wall thickness, stratification, and mesenteric fat, color Doppler signals are used to determine inflammatory activity in the gut. However, whether superb microvascular imaging (SMI), a microvascular flow imaging technique, improves the diagnostic accuracy is currently unclear.

Recent Findings: Despite an expanding evidence base, only three SUD DTxs have received federal regulatory approval. Across studies, DTx products have proven successful in engaging patients in SUD treatment and reducing healthcare costs and resource utilizations.
Background: This study explored whether participants with substance use disorder (SUD) would adopt and use a smart-phone app with a cognitive behavioral therapy program, weekly Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM) assessments, daily check-ins, tools to track sobriety and treatment, and other patient-centered resources. In addition, participants with SUD could access a social worker and peer support specialists.
Methods: The study sought participants from two groups: those referred by a justice-related agency and participants who responded to outreach from the Addiction Policy Forum (APF).
