Real-life emotion-related states detection in call centers : a cross-corpora Study Department of Human-Machine Interaction , LIMSI-CNRS , France
Interspeech, 2010Co-Authors: Laurence Devillers, Christophe Vaudable, Clément ChastagnolAbstract:In this article, we describe experiments on the detection of three emotional states (Anger, Positive and Neutral) for two French corpora collected in call centers in different contexts (service complaints and medical emergency). These corpora have a high level of privacy. In order to be comparable with results obtained in the community we used the openEAR acoustic features extraction platform instead of our own library. One of our aims being the comparison of anger and positive emotions across corpora, we train models on one corpus and test it on the other to compare their similarities, then conversely. We will discuss the possible gain in generalization power.

Frequency of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis detection at a single laboratory in islamabad.
Jcpsp-journal of The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, 2007Co-Authors: K Nomani, B M Kazi, Ahmad K, Karamat KaAbstract:To determine the frequency of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of microscopy and conventional Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) culture technique in the diagnosis of cervical lymphadenitis caused by M. tuberculosis (MTB) Study Design: A descriptive, cross-sectional Study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Mycobacteriology, Public Health Laboratories Division, National Institute of Health, Islamabad, from January 2003 to December 2004. A total of 220 patients from Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, Federal Government Services Hospital (FGSH), Islamabad and Rawalpindi General Hospital (RGH), Rawalpindi, presenting with enlarged cervical lymph nodes (for at least six months), pain/ weight loss and low grade fever were studied for the presence of MTB from 142 lymph node biopsies, 60 FNA samples and 18 discharge fluids/swabs. All the samples were examined at NIH by ZN staining smear and culture on conventional LJ medium as well as on Bactec 12B medium using Bactec 460 TB system. The drug susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed on Bactec 460 TB system. NAP test on Bactec 460-TB system, Accuprobe and biochemical tests were employed to identify the mycobacterial isolates. M. tuberculosis accounted for 173 out of 220 cases of cervical lymphadenopathy. Maximum incidence was found to be in the age group 10-30 years with male to female ratio of 1:1.7. Discharge sinuses and abscess formation were uncommon. Biopsy tissue samples gave the maximum yield of positive mycobacterial cultures as all 142 biopsy samples being positive while only 50% (30/60) of FNA and 5.5% (1/18) of discharge fluids/swabs were positive. All the isolates were identified as M. tuberculosis. No atypical mycobacteria were recovered from the samples examined. All isolates were found to be susceptible to first line anti-tuberculous drugs i.e. Streptomycin, Isoniazid, Rifampicin and Ethambutol (SIRE). Tuberculosis was the major cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in the referral area. Culture of the biopsy tissue from the affected lymph nodes is a method of choice for laboratory diagnosis of tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy.

Frequency and effective treatment of ulcers and sinuses in cases of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis.
Jcpsp-journal of The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, 2005Co-Authors: Baskota Dk, Rakesh Prasad, Sinha Bk, R C M AmatyaAbstract:To investigate the frequency and effective treatment of ulcers and sinuses in cases of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis (TCL). Observational cross-sectional Study. Department of ENT, Head and Neck Surgery of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kathmandu, Nepal, during the period of two years from March, 2000 to February, 2002. A hundred cases of histopathologically confirmed cases of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis of more than six weeks of duration were included in the Study. Overall frequency of the complication as well as the efficacy of treatment regime was considered. Out of 100 patients, 8 (8%) were found to develop ulcers and/or sinuses during the process of development of TCL which were effectively treated (100% cure rate). Mode of treatment was surgical excision of ulcers/sinuses along with affected underlying lymph nodes, followed by short course of anti-tubercular chemotherapy. Not a single case recurred during their follow-up period. In this series there was a low frequency of formation of ulcers/sinuses during the process of development of TCL. Surgical excision of ulcers/sinuses along with affected underlying lymph nodes, followed by short course of anti-tubercular chemotherapy is the effective methods of their treatment.
