Background: Different modalities of treatment in early laryngeal cancer lead to equivalent oncological outcomes. Hence this systematic review was undertaken to synthesise the key oncological outcomes following primary open partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer.
Methods: A systematic review of the English literature with statistical pooling of outcomes, the main outcome measure being local control at 24 months.
Results: A total of 53 articles satisfied inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The pooled local control rate at 24 months from 5061 patients was 89.8% (95% CI 88.3-91.2), pooled overall survival was 79.7% (n = 3967; 95% CI 76.5-782.8) and pooled mean disease free survival was 84.8% (n = 2344; 95% CI 80.6-88.7). The pooled mean operative mortality, laryngectomy for function, tracheostomy decannulation and permanent gastrostomy rates were 0.7%, 1.7%, 96.3%, and 2.0%, respectively.
Conclusions: Open conservation laryngectomy is a good option in selected primary laryngeal cancers with excellent oncological outcomes.

Background: Voice analysis has emerged as a potential biomarker for mood state detection and monitoring in bipolar disorder (BD). The systematic review aimed to summarize the evidence for voice analysis applications in BD, examining (1) the predictive validity of voice quality outcomes for mood state detection, and (2) the correlation between voice parameters and clinical symptom scales.
Methods: A PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library search was carried out by two investigators for publications investigating voice quality in BD according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements.

Cognitive impairments are frequently observed in patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Thiamine deficiency is often found in AUD patients and has been suggested as a possible cause of cognitive impairments. While thiamine deficiency is not consistently present in all AUD patients with cognitive deficits, thiamine is traditionally prescribed to patients with AUD to treat or prevent cognitive impairment.

Background: Prostate cancer treatment involves hormonal therapies that may carry cardiovascular risks, particularly for long-term use. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists, such as degarelix, may offer advantages over agonists, but comprehensive comparative cardiovascular outcomes are not well established. This study aimed to systematically review and analyze the cardiovascular safety profiles of degarelix compared to those of traditional GnRH agonists, providing critical insights for optimizing treatment strategies.
