Possibilities and late results of nonselective surgical reinnervation, using formation of primary or deferred anastomosis of n. laryngeal recurrence (NLR) with one of cervical peripheral nerves (proximal fragment of NLR, the main branch of cervical loop - ansa cervicalis, nerve-donor) in a one-sided laryngeal paralysis, were studied up. Preoperatively and postoperatively the indirect laryngoscopy, videolaryngoscopy, the voice spectral analysis (main frequency, intensity and the rate harmonics-noise RHN, maximal period of phonation--MPP) were accomplished, subjective selfestimation by a patient of the voice quality (VHI-30) was done. Anastomosis with NLR was formatted in 95 patients, including 53--with cervical loop, in 34 - NLR - NLR, 8 - NLR - nerve donor). Postoperative follow-up have constituted (12 +/- 1.8) mo at average, the period up to occurrence of the first indirect signs of laryngeal reinnervation- (4.5 +/- 2.9) mo, were observed in all the patients: occurrence of the vocal plica tone, reduction of the vocal fissure dimensions while phonation (peculiarly in anastomosis of NLR with cervical loop)--from (2.25 +/- 0.86) to (0.35 +/- 0.17) mm. In accordance to data of acoustic analysis, reinnervation is mostly effective in anastomosing of NLR with cervical loop, RHN increased from (12 +/- 3.7) to (24 +/- 2.4) (see symbol) MPP--from (7 +/- 1.22) to (16 +/- 3.52) c (p < 0.01). Improvement in all subgroups of the main group was noted while performing analysis of subjective psychosocial selfestimation of the voice formation.

Background: In patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN), the correlation between hematological markers and treatment outcomes has been established. However, their predictive role in the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) remains unclear.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study to evaluate whether pre-treatment hematological markers-including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and the CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index-predict the development of irAEs in 147 patients with R/M SCCHN treated with pembrolizumab.

Objective: Prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors remain unclear. An evaluation of combined positive score (CPS) and tumor proportion score (TPS), and a comparison of their usefulness with inflammatory biomarkers in real-world data could be informative.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed 28 patients who were treated with the KEYNOTE-826 regimen between November 2022 and June 2024.

Objectives: We report on the biomarker analyses focusing on neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with combined cetuximab and nivolumab.
Methods: Data were obtained from a phase II trial (NCT03370276). Peripheral blood NLR was obtained at baseline (B-NLR) and on-treatment (OT-NLR; 1 mo from treatment initiation).

Objective: Renal failure is a serious public health concern, and its prevalence has been steadily increasing in recent years. This study aims to use data from a nationally representative sample of adults in the USA to investigate the association between inflammatory markers derived from complete blood counts and the prevalence of renal failure.
Design: This study is a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative inflammatory markers including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) undergoing total laryngectomy (TL).
Methods: Patients were stratified by preoperative inflammatory markers: NLR > 3, PLR > 109.54, and AGR < 1.
