Background: The limited workspace and strong magnetic field inside MRI challenge the design of the prostate puncture robot. Simplifying the robot's structure is crucial.
Methods: This paper proposes a parallel cable-driven (PCD) prostate puncture robot, and conducts a preliminary material design. The kinematics, statics and stiffness models of the robot are established. The wrench-feasible workspace is also verified. Multibody simulation is used to analyse the robot's performance.
Results: Motion accuracy experiments were conducted in both planar and spatial configurations, followed by stiffness performance evaluation. During the phantom puncture experiment, the insertion point exhibited horizontal position errors of 0.35 mm and 0.4 mm.
Conclusion: The non-parallel cable-driven design not only simplifies the robotic structure for prostate puncture surgery but also ensures compatibility with strong magnetic fields. Furthermore, the robot exhibits high motion accuracy and superior stiffness performance.

Globally, the South Asian Cocktail (SAC), a substance of abuse, is becoming popular. The effects of SAC on male fertility are unknown; however, its component pharmaceuticals, such as codeine, rohypnol, and promethazine, have been linked to male infertility. Thus, this study assessed SAC's influence and putative mechanisms on male fertility among SAC consumers.

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor of the male urinary system. Early diagnosis is very important to improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients. In this paper, the screening methods for early prostate cancer will be systematically reviewed, covering serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) related testing, non-PSA related testing, as well as emerging genetic and genetic testing technologies.

Background: Current American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines state that patients with metastatic prostate cancer (MPC) should undergo germline and somatic DNA sequencing. The authors examined the utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies in which NGS was performed on cell block (CB) and/or smears.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of cytology cases with diagnosis of MPC either before and/or after NGS on FNA material.

This paper enhances prostate brachytherapy robot accuracy by developing a needle deflection prediction model and a controlled puncturing strategy, addressing current challenges and trends. The study addresses the challenges in needle deflection prediction by proposing a correction force-based prediction model. The puncture control strategy comprises two phases: preoperative needle trajectory planning and intraoperative approach adjustment, both relying on corrective force.
