Background: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) has become the gold standard technique for anterior capsulotomy, a cardinal development in modern cataract surgery. CCC enables safer and relatively convenient access to the crystalline lens, however it is more challenging to master than older methods. Understanding the physics underlying this procedure is key to achieving the desired results and avoiding complications.
Purpose: To review and present the established information about CCC, and to create a practical guide to this important step in cataract surgery.
Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus databases, with emphasis on up-to-date information. The first part of this review describes the evolution of CCC and discusses the different approaches, the various instruments available, tips and pearls and the general setup for best results. The second half covers more recent innovations and common complications, and strategies to prevent or manage them. This paper provides a practical review of all aspects of CCC.

The ability to detect and monitor errors enables us to maintain optimal performance across tasks. One neurophysiological index of error monitoring is the error-related negativity (ERN), a fronto-central negative deflection peaking between 0 and 150 ms following an erroneous response. While the developmental literature has illustrated age-related differences in the ERN and its association with anxiety, the literature has mainly focused on the between-person differences of the ERN.

National Center for Materials Service Safety, University of Science and Technology Beijing, 30 Xueyuan Road, Beijing 100083, China.
Microstructure and deformation properties of both unaged and aged cladding material were studied at 400 °C for 10,000 h. The results indicated that carbide formation occurred in the cladding material, while thermal aging treatment resulted in spinodal decomposition and G-phase formation in the aged ferrite phase. Furthermore, intensive straight slip bands formed in both unaged and aged austenite phases.

Background: Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare malignancy of the thyroid gland that poses significant clinical challenges due to its rarity and the varied therapeutic approaches it demands. Although recent years have seen an increasing focus on PTL, there is a notable lack of bibliometric analyses that consolidate the evolving research within this field. This study aims to analyze and highlight the research hotspots and trend changes in PTL, elucidating their clinical implications and guiding future research.
