The relation of aging and the stability of personality in late life is evaluated by a literature review. The findings of six longitudinal studies reveal that rank-order consistency continues into old age. The mean-level stability reveals a concave curve for 'neuroticism' with an increase after age 80, a decrease for 'extraversion', and an increase for 'agreeableness'. The methodological and conceptual issues of personality assessment with old adults can be resolved by using a self report scale which corresponds to the capacities and the lifestyle of older adults and by involving age related variables into analyses.

Case: A 26-month-old child with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, TPN dependence, laryngomalacia, and G6PD deficiency presented with right hip pain with no known recent trauma. Imaging revealed a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). The patient underwent hip irrigation and debridement for potential septic arthritis, with SCFE stabilized using buried 2.

Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) attract much attention as green solvents because of their negligible volatility and non-flammability. In analytical chemistry, the application of ILs to chemical separation and solvent extraction has been investigated. However, there have been a smaller number of reports on the mechanisms of chemical equilibria in the solvents of ILs at a molecular level.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Health Sciences, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, 34480, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of capsule support hooks and iris hooks in stabilizing the capsular bag during cataract surgery in patients with significant zonular weakness.
Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 46 eyes of 39 patients with zonular weakness exceeding 90 degrees who underwent cataract surgery at a tertiary clinic. Patients were divided into two groups due to intraoperative usage of capsule support hooks (Group 1) or iris hooks (Group 2) for capsular stabilization.
Relationship of corneal percent tissue altered with visual outcome in small incision lenticule extraction surgery.

Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, 1120 Lianhua Road, Shenzhen, 518000, China.
Background: We observed the effect of different modified percentage of tissue alteration (mPTA) on corneal higher-order aberrations in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), and explored safe threshold values of mPTA for SMILE surgery.
Methods: 148 patients (270 eyes) was retrospectively analyzed and grouped into two groups based on mPTA between 24%. Mixed linear model analysis was used for preoperative and postoperative 1 week (W1), 1 month (M1), 3 months (M3), and 6 months (M6) follow-ups to compare the differences and changes in visual acuity, and corneal higher order aberrations between groups.
Elevated platelet distribution width and diabetes may serve as preoperative predictors of microvascular invasion in primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, 330006, China.
Background And Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the malignancies with increasing incidence globally, and microvascular invasion (MVI) is a crucial determinant of prognosis in patients. This study aimed to investigate platelet distribution width (PDW) and diabetes mellitus as indicators for predicting preoperative MVI in HCC, providing more accurate predictive tools for clinicians to guide treatment strategies and improve patient survival and quality of life.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including 1357 patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC between January 2008 and December 2014 at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital in China.
