Article Abstract
Objective: Development of smartphone apps for mental health care has outpaced research on their effectiveness. This pilot study tested Moving Forward an app designed to support problem-solving therapy (PST).
Methods: Thirty-three veterans seeking mental health care in U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs primary care clinics were randomly assigned to receive six sessions of PST accompanied by either the Moving Forward app (N=17) or a workbook (N=16). Participants completed measures of anxiety, depression, stress, problem-solving style, satisfaction, and between-session practice at baseline and 6- and 12-week follow-ups. Qualitative interviews were used to elicit feedback.
Results: Participants in both groups reported high satisfaction and reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress. Veterans who used the app reported skills practice, and qualitative data indicated that patients perceived the app as valuable, with the potential to reduce barriers to care.
Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence to support the ability of the Moving Forward app to augment brief psychotherapy in primary care clinics.

Food nutrition and safety are fundamental to the food industry, and the development of appropriate research models is crucial. Unlike traditional animal models, the innovative organoid/organ-on-a-chip model possess distinct human-like characteristics and genomic stability, which have garnered significant attention in food research. In this review, we conduct a comparative analysis between organoids and traditional animal and 2D cell models.

Purpose: Since its inception, the National Joint Committee for the Communication Needs of Persons with Severe Disabilities (NJC) has focused specifically on advocating for individuals with significant communication support needs resulting from intellectual disability. The purpose of this review article is to describe the history of terminology used to describe this group of individuals, share the results of a recent survey completed by 102 members of our NJC Network, and discuss the implications of decisions regarding terminology in the NJC's ongoing advocacy efforts.
Method: History of terminology used to describe people with intellectual disability is documented by reviewing the literature, policies, professional organizations, and self-advocacy groups that used various terms from the early 20th century to present day.

Lower extremity artery disease affects more than 230 million people worldwide, leading to significant cardiovascular and limb-related complications. Recent advancements in endovascular treatment, driven by technological innovations and increasing patient prevalence due to aging populations and lifestyle diseases, has contributed to a growing demand for endovascular treatment. In Japan, the number of endovascular treatment procedures has increased specifically among cardiologists, whereas the involvement of interventional radiology physicians remains limited.

Background: This study aims to investigate the impact of high-sodium diet (HSD) on the global burden of aortic aneurysm (AA), analyze its epidemiological trends across different regions, sexes, and age groups, and project future trends.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) to assess the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and death cases of AA attributable to HSD (AA-HSD) from 1990 to 2021. A decomposition analysis was conducted to quantify the contributions of population growth, aging, and epidemiological changes to the disease burden.
