Evidence suggests that discourse-level assessment in aphasia should be implemented within clinical settings. However, existing discourse measures that are time and labor intensive in process prevent speech-language pathologists from applying such measures to their clinical practices. This article provides an overview of a lexicon-based analysis (core lexicon measure) that recently was developed and investigated for clinical usability. A new approach to core lexicon measures provides a simple scoring method with short instructions, which may be practical and time efficient for assessment and management of persons with aphasia. The article concludes with suggestions for clinical application and implementation.

Background: The lack of automated tools for measuring care quality limits the implementation of a national program to assess guideline-directed care in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Objectives: The authors aimed to automate the identification of patients with HFrEF at hospital discharge, an opportunity to evaluate and improve the quality of care.
Methods: The authors developed a novel deep-learning language model for identifying patients with HFrEF from discharge summaries of hospitalizations with heart failure at Yale New Haven Hospital during 2015 to 2019.

Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a relentlessly progressive disease caused by the misfolding and systemic accumulation of amyloidogenic transthyretin into amyloid fibrils. These fibrils cause diverse clinical phenotypes, mainly cardiomyopathy and/or polyneuropathy. Little is known about the aggregation of transthyretin during disease development and whether this has implications for diagnosis and treatment.

- Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) affects 30-40% of patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, leading to concerns about their survival outcomes when treated with left ventricular mechanical support.
- A study conducted across 80 sites analyzed 361 patients, finding that 28% had RVD, which correlated with lower survival rates to discharge (61.8% vs. 73.4%) and higher instances of severe shock and active CPR during treatment.
- Despite initial lower survival for RVD patients, hemodynamic parameters measured within 24 hours showed no significant differences between those with and without RVD, indicating that early left ventricular support may not immediately affect RV function.
