Article Abstract
Over 20 million Americans are living with a substance use disorder (SUD) and nearly 100,000 die annually from drug overdoses, with a majority involving an opioid. Many people with SUD have co-occurring chronic pain and/or a mental health disorder. Exercise is a frontline treatment for chronic pain and is an effective strategy for reducing depression and anxiety and improving overall mental health. Several studies have shown that exercise improves SUD-related outcomes including abstinence; however, there is limited large-scale randomized clinical trial evidence to inform integration of exercise into practice. In this Call to Action, we aim to raise awareness of the specific issues that should be addressed to advance exercise as medicine in people with SUD including the challenges of co-occurring chronic pain, mental illness, and cardiopulmonary health conditions. In addition, specialized training for exercise professionals and other support staff should be provided on these issues, as well as on the multiple dimensions of stigma that can impair engagement in treatment and overall recovery in people with SUD.

Since its discovery, the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has become the epicenter of public health concern. This was mainly attributed to the complexity of COVID-19 that resulted in variable disease progression with some developing asymptomatic infections, some suffering mild to moderate infections that resolved without the need for hospitalizations, and a few infected persons developing severe infections that required intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mechanical ventilation. The COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, affecting billions of people and killing millions.

Background: Urinary stone treatment is of interest from a health-economic point of view because of competing technical approaches, high incidence and high recurrence rates. In France, since the release of the activity-based funding called T2A (for Tarification A l'Activité), concerns about possibly induced overactivity have been increasing. A flat-sum-based payment per stone episode has even been proposed.

Purpose: obstructive sleep apnea is underdiagnosed due to limited access to polysomnography (PSG). We aimed to assess the performances of Apneal, an application recording sound and movements thanks to a smartphone's microphone, accelerometer and gyroscope, to estimate patients' apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
Methods: monocentric proof-of-concept study with a first manual scoring step, then automatic detection of respiratory events from recorded signals using a sequential deep-learning model (version 0.

Objectives: This rapid review and meta-analysis explores two hypotheses. First, people with a concurrent mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) respond less favorably to currently utilized treatment interventions, than do those with a single disorder. Second, the potential for certain already vulnerable groups including women, members of racialized minority groups and those who live in or near poverty may be even further disadvantaged.
