UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Background Prostate cancer, a prevalent malignancy in men, often results in erectile dysfunction (ED), particularly following treatments like radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy, significantly affecting quality of life. Managing ED in prostate cancer survivors is critical.

Model-Dependent Prosthesis Control with Interaction Force Estimation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Current prosthesis control methods are primarily model-independent - lacking formal guarantees of stability, relying largely on heuristic tuning parameters for good performance, and neglecting use of the natural dynamics of the system. Model-dependence for prosthesis controllers is difficult to achieve due to the unknown human dynamics.

Dosimetric equivalence of non-standard high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy catheter patterns [PDF]
Medical Physics 36(1), January 2009, pp. 233-239, 2009 Purpose: To determine whether alternative HDR prostate brachytherapy catheter patterns can result in improved dose distributions while providing better access and reducing trauma. Methods: Prostate HDR brachytherapy uses a grid of parallel needle positions to guide the catheter insertion.

Sensor Fusion for Predictive Control of Human-Prosthesis-Environment Dynamics in Assistive Walking: A Survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 This survey paper concerns Sensor Fusion for Predictive Control of Human-Prosthesis-Environment Dynamics in Assistive Walking. The powered lower limb prosthesis can imitate the human limb motion and help amputees to recover the walking ability, but it is still a challenge for amputees to walk in complex environments with the powered prosthesis ...

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Variable Stiffness Transradial Hand Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a low-cost, customizable, easy-to-use transradial hand prosthesis capable of adapting its compliance. Variable stiffness actuation (VSA) of the prosthesis is based on antagonistically arranged tendons coupled to nonlinear springs driven through a Bowden cable-based power transmission.
