However, they suffer from poor electrical conductivity and irreversible structural degradation upon charge/discharge processes, which impede their practical utilization. Herein, we investigate MOF-like Sn2 O(CN2 ) as a new electrode material. The conductive yet flexible [N=C=N] linkers are tilted between [Sn4 O] nodes and cross-linked into a porous quasi-layered structure. Such structure offers abundant channels for fast Li-ion transport and tolerance of enormous volume expansion. Notably, anisotropic [N=C=N]2- arrays hardly migrate so that Sn0 nanodots are physically separated via robust [N=C=N]2- framework during discharge, thereby effectively preventing the formation of large Sn islands. Owing to the structural advantage, the Sn2 O(CN2 ) electrode exhibits an initial Coulombic efficiency as high as ∼80 %. With the addition of graphite as conductive supporter, the electrode provides 978 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 even after 300 cycles. Such MOF-like carbodiimides hold potential for the advanced electrodes in LIBs and other battery systems. Total laryngectomy in thyroid cancer is controversial. Functional and oncologic outcomes are needed to inform surgical indications in this population. A retrospective cohort study was performed at a tertiary referral center from 1997 to 2018 to identify patients with a diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy. Complications, survival outcomes, and functional outcomes were analyzed. Thirty patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 62 years (range, 30-88 years) and the male-to-female ratio was 12.75. The most common diagnosis was well-differentiated thyroid cancer (53.3%), followed by poorly
