Introduction: This study aims to establish a multidisciplinary consensus on the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in China, with a particular focus on the guidelines for the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to ensure scientific and rational treatment protocols.
Methods: The consensus was formulated based on the 'guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of NPC (2024 edition)' issued by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology. The Delphi method was used to collect and consolidate expert opinions.

Rationale And Objectives: In depth comparison of imaging features and overall survival (OS) between IDH wild-type diffuse lower-grade glioma and glioblastoma (GB), providing precise guidance for early risk stratification and optimized clinical decision-making.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective inclusion of IDH wild-type glioma patients admitted between January 2017 and January 2024. Patients were classified into GB (histological and molecular) and lower-grade glioma not elsewhere classified (LGNEC) based on fifth edition of the Central Nervous System Tumor Classification Standards.

Background: Over 20 % of adults with insomnia disorder also experience chronic pain, termed insomnia disorder comorbid with chronic pain (ICCP), increasing risks for physical and mental diseases. Current treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia show inconsistent pain relief, and non-opioid analgesics may exacerbate insomnia, underscoring the need for alternative approaches. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and acupuncture, guided by traditional Chinese medicine, may offer transdiagnostic benefits for ICCP, but a comprehensive review is lacking.

Background: Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement demonstrates superior accuracy over conventional techniques, yet proprietary ecosystems limit implant compatibility and surgical choice. Can a custom screwdriver enable third-party instrumentation while maintaining navigational precision within the Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic system?
Methods: This retrospective comparative single-center study analysed 100 consecutive patients undergoing robot-assisted thoracolumbar fusion using custom screwdriver instrumentation (July-December 2024) versus 100 historical controls using standard proprietary instrumentation (October 2023-June 2024). The custom screwdriver had shaft dimensions matched to the robotic arm guide and navigation tracker compatibility.
