Anxiety is highly prevalent among college communities, with significant numbers of students, faculty, and staff experiencing severe anxiety symptoms. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs), including Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation (CBM-I), offer promising solutions to enhance access to mental health care, yet there is a critical need to evaluate user experience and acceptability of DMHIs. CBM-I training targets cognitive biases in threat perception, aiming to increase cognitive flexibility by reducing rigid negative thought patterns and encouraging more benign interpretations of ambiguous situations.

HPP is characterized by low serum TNSALP concentrations associated with defective bone mineralization and increased fracture risk. Dental manifestations have been reported as the exclusive feature (odontohypophosphatasia) and in combination with skeletal complications.

Methods: Ten eyes of 10 patients, with POAG, which were qualified either to canaloplasty or canaloplasty and phacoemulsification, were included in this study. Eyes were washed out before the surgery and control visits were done at days 1, 7, and 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively, at which subjects were examined.
Purpose: To compare outcomes of phaco-canaloplasty (PC) and phaco-non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (PDS) with a viscoelastic compound.
Methods: This study included 29 eyes after PC and 30 after PDS. Indications were uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and a cataract.
We present a surgical technique for evacuating an intracorneal pre-Descemet hematoma that occurred during a canaloplasty procedure. The technique allows both evacuation of the hematoma outside the anterior chamber and preservation of the intact Descemet membrane, and it can be performed within the primary procedure. Intraoperative pre-Descemet hematoma is reported to be a relatively rare complication of canaloplasty; however, to hasten visual recovery and to avoid potentially sight-threatening complications, surgeons should be aware of this possible complication and be prepared to resolve it as early as possible, even within the canaloplasty procedure.
