AIMS To report 5 year prostate-specific antigen outcomes in men undergoing prostate brachytherapy with caesium 131 at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients who underwent prostate brachytherapy with caesium 131 at our institution and had at least 24 months of follow-up were included in this study. The results are reported by risk group (low, intermediate and high) as well as...

BACKGROUND Individuals with schizophrenia and people with depression both show abnormal behavioural and neural responses when perceiving and responding to emotional stimuli, but pathology-specific differences and commonalities remain mostly unclear. AIMS To directly compare empathic responses to dynamic multimodal emotional stimuli in a group with schizophrenia and a group with depression, an...

The instability of mixing in the Kuramoto model coupled phase oscillators is key to understanding a range spatiotemporal patterns, which feature prominently collective dynamics systems ranging from neuronal networks, lasers, power grids. In this paper, we describe codimension–2 bifurcation whose unfolding, addition classical scenario onset synchronization, also explains formation clusters and c...

Multimodal neuroimage can provide complementary information about the dementia, but small size of complete multimodal data limits ability in representation learning. Moreover, distribution inconsistency from different modalities may lead to ineffective fusion, which fails sufficiently explore intra-modal and inter-modal interactions compromises disease diagnosis performance. To solve these prob...

The existence of a coalition strategy to achieve a goal does not necessarily mean that the coalition has enough information to know how to follow the strategy. Neither does it mean that the coalition knows that such a strategy exists. The article studies an interplay between the distributed knowledge, coalition strategies, and coalition “know-how” strategies. The main technical result is a soun...
