Background: The purpose of this study was to define prognostic factors for supraglottic laryngeal cancer that may influence management.
Methods: This ethics-approved study captured information on patients who presented with supraglottic laryngeal cancer between 1967 and 2008. Endpoints were local/ultimate failure and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Analysis was performed using chi-square, Fisher exact test, and logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis were used to describe time-to-event data.
Results: Three hundred sixty-nine patients were analyzed. Two hundred seventeen patients received radiotherapy, 30 were treated with surgery, and 122 were treated with radiotherapy and surgery. The 5-year ultimate local control and CSS rates were 79.5% and 62.8%. Treatment type was a univariate predictor for outcome; however, it was not an independent predictor for ultimate local control or CSS.
Conclusions: This study highlights the fact that by documenting information it is possible to define prognostic factors. It also shows the importance of adjusting for clinical predictors such as patients being unfit for surgery.

With the advancement of precise hepatobiliary surgery concepts, the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for hepatic echinococcosis have undergone significant transformations. However, whether these changes have correspondingly improved patient outcomes remains unclear. A retrospective analysis of these changes will provide crucial guidance for the prevention and treatment of hepatic echinococcosis.

This study explored the early diagnosis and prognostic value of copeptin in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). 171 patients with chest pain or myocardial ischemia symptoms were enrolled. Patients with NSTE-ACS were further divided into the non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA).

To date, no prospective study has been conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic snare resection with an elastic band (ESR-EB) and endoscopic snare resection with a transparent cap (ESR-C) for treating gastric muscularis propria lesions. We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of ESR-EB with those of ESR-C for gastric muscularis propria lesions less than 10 mm in diameter. A total of 64 patients were enrolled prospectively from May 2023 to November 2023 at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University, and the People's Hospital of Zhongshan City.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular mortality in arthritis patients. Additionally, it seeks to analyze the nonlinear characteristics and threshold effects of TyG index. We included 5,559 adult participants with arthritis from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Texture analysis generates image parameters from F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT). Although some parameters correlate with tumor biology and clinical attributes, their types and implications can be complex. To overcome this limitation, pseudotime analysis was applied to texture parameters to estimate changes in individual sample characteristics, and the prognostic significance of the estimated pseudotime of primary tumors was evaluated.
