Objective: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome marked by chronic pain, fatigue, and mood disorders. Nonpharmacologic strategies are recommended to avoid overuse of opioids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but current approaches often provide limited relief. This study aimed to preliminarily assess the efficacy and feasibility of a new combined intervention of immersive virtual reality with multisensor biofeedback (IVR-BF) in FM management. Methods: In this single-center, pilot, open-label, randomized controlled trial, adult patients with FM were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the treatment (TR) group, receiving IVR-BF immediately, or a waitlist control (WL) group, receiving IVR-BF after the TR group completed treatment. The primary outcome was reduction in visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores in the TR group, after five IVR-BF sessions, compared to the WL group, after the waiting period. Secondary outcomes included improvements in FM impact (FM Impact Questionnaire [FIQ] score) and qualitative aspect of pain (Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire [SF-MPQ] score). A longitudinal analysis was conducted across all patients to examine the trends in VAS pain, SF-MPQ, and FIQ score during the trial. Results: Fifty patients were screened, and 20 female patients (10 TR and 10 WL) completed the trial and were analyzed. Those in the TR group showed significantly lower VAS pain scores compared to those in the WL group (P = 0.011), along with significant improvement in the FIQ score (P = 0.018). The longitudinal analysis revealed progressive improvements in VAS pain, SF-MPQ, and FIQ score, supported by physiologic improvements (heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin conductance). No significant safety concerns were reported. Patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with the IVR experience. Conclusion: IVR-BF is a feasible treatment that shows potential in reducing pain and improving quality of life in patients with FM, supporting the need for larger trials t

Dear Editor,
In the accompanying Comment,Bratchenko et *** two concerns about the spectral data analysis pipeline employed for the Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and Artificial Intelligence for Cancer Screening(SERS-AICS)technique in our original paper1:(1)inappropriate accu-racy presentation and(2)the use of a single data split for model *** a promising technique for molecular fingerprinting,SERS-based early cancer detection approaches using biofluids and liquid biopsy are typically evaluated based strictly on their accuracy and reliability2-8.

Large high-resolution screens are becoming increasingly available and less expensive. This creates potential advantages for data visualization in that more dense data and fine details are viewable at once. Also, less navigation may be needed to see more data. However, little work has been done to determine the effectiveness of large highresolution displays, especially for basic low-level data visualization and navigation tasks. This paper describes an exploratory study on the effects of a large tiled display with a resolution of 3840x3072 as compared to two smaller displays (1560x2048 and 1280x1024). We conclude that, with finely detailed data, higher resolution displays that use physical navigation significantly outperform smaller displays that use pan and zoom navigation. Qualitatively, we also conclude that use of the larger display is less stressful and creates a better sense of confidence than the smaller displays.
