I get aphasia and stomach. It does not get blood pressure, I think because this is filtered out by UMLS semantic class - I think it is categorized as a "measurement," and cTAKES will find things like disease/disorder, signs/symptoms, and a few others, which this does not fit into exactly. It may be worth thinking about how to include it if it will be useful. In this example it looks like it's linked to some assessment "HB +20%", I assume that is some measurement that would be useful to extract?
