Predicting erectile dysfunction after treatment for localized prostate cancer
While the 10-year survival rate for localized prostate cancer patients is very good (>98%), side effects of treatment may limit quality of life significantly. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common burden associated with increasing age as well as prostate cancer treatment. Although many studies have investigated the factors affecting erectile dysfunction (ED) after prostate cancer treatment, only limited studies have investigated whether ED can be predicted before the start of treatment. The advent of machine learning (ML) based prediction tools in oncology offers a promising approach to improve accuracy of prediction and quality of care. Predicting ED may help aid shared decision making by making the advantages and disadvantages of certain treatments clear, so that a tailored treatment for an individual patient can be chosen. This study aimed to predict ED at 1-year and 2-year post-diagnosis based on patient demographics, clinical data and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) measured at diagnosis.

A Numerical Study of the Relationship Between Erectile Pressure and Shear Wave Speed of Corpus Cavernosa in Ultrasound Vibro-elastography
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between erectile pressure (EP) and shear wave speed of the corpus cavernosa obtained via a specific ultrasound vibro-elastography (UVE) technique. This stud…
Deep Learning (DL)-based Automatic Segmentation of the Internal Pudendal Artery (IPA) for Reduction of Erectile Dysfunction in Definitive Radiotherapy of Localized Prostate Cancer
Background and purpose: Radiation-induced erectile dysfunction (RiED) is commonly seen in prostate cancer patients. Clinical trials have been developed in multiple institutions to investigate whether dose-sparing to the …
SegmentationEvaluating the Predictive Value of Preoperative MRI for Erectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy
Accurate preoperative prediction of erectile dysfunction (ED) is important for counseling patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. While clinical features are established predictors, the added value of preoperative MRI…
Single shot diagnosis of ion channel dysfunction from assimilation of cell membrane dynamics
Many neurological diseases originate in the dysfunction of cellular ion channels. Their diagnosis presents a challenge especially when alterations in the complement of ion channels are a priori unknown. Current approache…
Cardiovascular function changes following lung resection: a computational model to compare afterload increase and contractility loss mechanisms
Functional limitation after lung resection surgery has been consistently documented in clinical studies, and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction has been hypothesized as a contributing reason. However, the mechanisms of RV …
