Autonomous Robotic Navigation for Endovascular Brain-Computer Interface Access

Harry Robertshaw, Weijie Qi, Nikola Fischer +3

Endovascular brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) avoid craniotomy but require precise device delivery through anatomically variable cerebral veins. This work presents the first demons…

Developing a novel Comorbidities Index for predicting 10-year mortality in Prostate Cancer patients: A computational data-driven approach

Davide Farinati, Francesco Barletta, Paolo Zaurito +6

The Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI) is a weighted additive index widely used to estimate ten-year mortality risk, but its original weights may not reflect contemporary prognoses…
