"We are delighted that our study, "Application Value of Multiphase Contrast-Enhanced CT Radiomics in Preoperative Evaluation of Peritoneal Metastasis in Gastric Cancer," has been published. This work represents a significant effort to address the pressing clinical challenge of accurately assessing peritoneal metastasis preoperatively. By leveraging multiphase contrast-enhanced CT and radiomics, our research moves beyond traditional imaging limitations, aiming to improve detection sensitivity—particularly for subtle metastases. The developed model demonstrates promising predictive performance, which we hope will contribute to more individualized surgical and therapeutic planning for gastric cancer patients. We believe these findings offer a valuable, data-driven tool for clinical decision-making. We are enthusiastic about sharing this work with the community and look forward to its potential impact on improving patient management. Further validation and exploration of the biological correlates of radiomic features are exciting avenues for future research."

"This study originated from our long-standing attention to the clinical challenge of violent behavior among hospitalized patients with SMDs. As frontline mental health practitioners and researchers, we have witnessed firsthand how unpredictable violent incidents threaten the safety of both patients and medical staff, disrupt ward order, and impose significant burdens on clinical management. Despite existing efforts to identify risk factors, there remains a critical need for a precise, actionable predictive tool that can assist healthcare providers in early screening and targeted intervention—this gap motivated our comprehensive investigation. Our key finding that educational level, cigarette smoking, length of hospitalization, age, BPRS scores, and CRP levels are independent predictors of violent behavior offers both theoretical and practical insights. Notably, the protective effects of advanced age and higher education, alongside the risk-enhancing roles of smoking, severe psychiatric symptoms (reflected by BPRS scores), and elevated inflammatory markers (CRP), align with clinical observations but are systematically validated here. The constructed nomogram, with AUC values of 0.94 (training set) and 0.93 (validation set), not only demonstrates excellent discriminative power but also features intuitive visualization—allowing clinicians to quickly calculate individual risk without relying on complex statistical analysis. This practicality is further reinforced by the model’s robust calibration and significant net benefit in DCA, ensuring its relevance in real-world ward settings. During the research process, we overcame challenges such as standardizing violent behavior definitions (adopting a 6-level classification to ensure consistency) and integrating both socio-demographic and biological markers (e.g., CRP) into the model. Admittedly, this study has limitations: it is a single-center cross-sectional study, and the sample is restricted to hospitalized patients. Future research should expand to multicenter cohorts with larger and more diverse populations, including community-dwelling SMD patients, to enhance the model’s generalizability. Additionally, standardizing violence assessment tools across studies will help reconcile discrepancies in reported incidence rates and refine predictive factors. We also aim to explore dynamic monitoring of risk factors (e.g., serial CRP measurements and real-time symptom assessments) to update the prediction model and improve its long-term utility. Ultimately, this research is more than a theoretical contribution—it is a clinical tool designed to empower mental health teams. We hope the nomogram will be widely adopted in psychiatric wards to identify high-risk patients early, guide personalized interventions (such as enhanced monitoring for smokers or patients with elevated CRP, or targeted psychoeducation for those with lower education levels), and ultimately reduce violent incidents. By bridging the gap between research and clinical practice, we strive to create safer care environments for both patients and healthcare providers, and we look forward to seeing this model refined and expanded through interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of mental health."

"From the beginning, submitting an article requires a lot of materials - but the revision process after article review is relatively fast. However, the publishing cost of your journal is too expensive, especially for some scholars with poor economic conditions who may not be able to afford it. Therefore, we hope that your journal can appropriately reduce the publishing cost."

"We are deeply grateful to the Editor-in-Chief, the editorial team, and the reviewers of World Journal of Psychiatry for their thoughtful consideration and acceptance of our manuscript, "Neurofeedback for autism spectrum disorder: Current evidence, challenges, and future directions" (Manuscript No. 114358). This article was motivated by the urgent need to critically evaluate emerging neuromodulation approaches in autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—a condition where pharmacological options remain limited and often target only co-occurring symptoms rather than core neurodevelopmental features. Our synthesis highlights both the promising signals from recent clinical trials and the substantial methodological limitations that currently hinder definitive conclusions about neurofeedback’s efficacy and mechanisms of action. By situating neurofeedback within broader discussions of neural plasticity, individualized intervention, and transdiagnostic biomarkers, we aim to foster a more rigorous and ethically grounded research agenda. We especially appreciate that World Journal of Psychiatry recognizes the value of such interdisciplinary perspectives at the intersection of neuroscience, psychiatry, and developmental disorders. We are also sincerely thankful for the waiver of the article processing charge, which enables equitable access to this work for clinicians, researchers, and families worldwide who are seeking evidence-based guidance amid a rapidly evolving—and sometimes commercially driven—therapeutic landscape. It is our hope that this article will stimulate higher-quality randomized controlled trials, standardized protocols, and long-term follow-up studies, ultimately advancing neurofeedback from experimental promise toward clinically validated practice—if supported by robust evidence. — On behalf of all co-authors"

"We are deeply grateful to the Editor-in-Chief, the editorial team, and the reviewers ofWorld Journal of Psychiatry for their thoughtful consideration and acceptance of our manuscript,"Integrating electromyographic biofeedback in stroke rehabilitation: A paradigm shift in motor and psychological recovery" (Manuscript No. 115160). This work represents a concerted effort to bridge the gap between neurorehabilitation technology and psychiatric well-being—a nexus that is often underemphasized in both stroke care and mental health literature. By highlighting the dual impact of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback on not only motor relearning but also anxiety reduction, self-efficacy, and emotional regulation post-stroke, we aim to advocate for a more holistic, patient-centered model of recovery that aligns with the biopsychosocial framework championed by modern psychiatry. We particularly appreciate the journal’s recognition of interdisciplinary innovations that expand the boundaries of traditional psychiatric practice. Publishing this perspective inWorld Journal of Psychiatry underscores the growing importance of integrating neurotechnology into mental health interventions for neurological populations—an area ripe for further research and clinical translation. We also sincerely thank the editorial office for the waiver of the article processing charge, which greatly facilitates the dissemination of our findings to a global audience without access barriers. Finally, we hope this article will encourage clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to consider biofeedback not merely as a physical therapy adjunct, but as a psychologically empowering tool that can meaningfully enhance quality of life during stroke recovery. — On behalf of all co-authors"
