Labial Diphtheria

Labial reconstruction with a cross-labial flap.

Overzealous resection of the labia minorum is a significant complication of labioplasty. Knowledge and understanding of reconstructive plastic surgical principles are required to manage such challenging complications. We report a case of iatrogenic labial asymmetry that was reconstructed with a cross-labial flap.

Based on a systematic literature review, postpartum labial adhesions are uncommon in clinical practice. They are not painful but can prevent patients from resuming normal sexual activity.

Acoustic-labial Speaker Verification

This paper describes a multimodal approach for speaker ver-iication. The system consists of two classiers, one using visual features and the other using acoustic features. A lip tracker is used to extract visual information from the speaking face which provides shape and intensity features. We describe an approach for normalizing and mapping dierent modalities onto a common conndence interval. ...
