Hi Team,

We are trying to utilize the maximum potential of cTAKES to meet the 
requirements for our profile, where we have a requirement to extract the 
sentences from the medical document. We have seen cTAKES already providing the 
list of sentences in the clinical text within the object as below

[cid:image002.png@01D64027.944FD390]


We also notice that sentences are delimited based on the below predefined 
delimiters, which was actually a problem in our requirement where sentences 
were seggregated whenever one of the below tokens are encountered.

[cid:image005.jpg@01D64029.1E6AC980]

For eg: "Patient was taking Paracetamol (650 mg) thrice daily" , was splitted 
to two different sentences(because a ')' encountered)


1.     Patient was taking Paracetamol (650 mg)

2.     thrice daily


So we tried to customize it by removing some of the defined delimiters to meet 
our requirement. Actually we tried with just '.' As delimiter and found 
sentences are splitted whenever a '.' Is encountered Since this is a change 
done at the core module , we would like to know whether this is going to impact 
the clinical token identification process or going to have impact on the 
already provided informations like tlink,timex or any other critical attribute. 
Kindly advice.

Thanks & Regards
