Cardiac wall motion abnormalities (WMA) are strong predictors of mortality, but current screening methods using Q waves from electrocardiograms (ECGs) have limited accuracy and vary across racial and ethnic groups. This study aimed to identify novel ECG features using deep learning to enhance WMA detection, referencing echocardiography as the gold standard. We collected ECG and echocardiogram data from 35,210 patients in California and labeled WMA using unstructured language parsing of echocardiographic reports.

Introduction: Missouri's Medication First ("MedFirst") approach promotes same-day and long-term low-threshold access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Since 2017, Missouri's SAMHSA-funded State Targeted and State Opioid Response (STR/SOR) grants have supported MedFirst services (both medical and psychosocial) for uninsured individuals with opioid use disorder at state-contracted treatment programs. Though MedFirst demonstrated early success, results - with attention to possible racial disparities - must be revisited after five years of implementation.

The United States is witnessing a demographic transformation, with the Latine population rapidly growing. As the nation's demographics evolve, the underrepresentation of Latine child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) professionals compared to their proportion in the broader population underscores a pressing gap that requires prompt and focused efforts. This discrepancy is particularly concerning given the documented mental health inequities affecting Latine youth.
