Objectives: This scoping review assessed systematic reviews on noninvasive temporomandibular disorder therapies to identify evidence gaps and formulate clinical recommendations.
Method And Materials: The scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA scoping review guidelines and Joanna Briggs Institute updated scoping review methodology using a two-step process involving four reviewers. Four key databases (Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were thoroughly searched from January 2017 to December 2022. The selected systematic reviews were classified, charted, critically appraised, and synthesized.
Results: Of the initial 522 listings, 61 systematic reviews were eligible for inclusion, with the majority bearing very low- to low-quality evidence, and meta-analysis not being conducted in about a third of them. Moderate- to high-quality evidence was available for patient self-management, botulinum toxin, manual, laser, and splint therapy.
Conclusions: Further high-quality investigations with consistent patient selection, diagnostic criteria, treatment/assessment protocols, and outcome measures are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the various interventions for temporomandibular disorder pain/dysfunction.

National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD), Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Background: The National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD) is continuing to develop a bank of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are available by request to the Alzheimer's disease (AD) research community.
Methods: As part of the pipeline for quality control of received cell lines, DNA was extracted for all lines and was submitted for whole genome sequencing (WGS). Paired-end WGS data was generated using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and processed following GATK best practices using the Sentieon pipeline.

Université Laval, Quebec, QC, Canada.
Background: There is a common agreement that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is inherently complex; otherwise, a general disagreement remains on its etiological underpinning, with numerous alternative hypotheses having been proposed. Our objective was to perform a scoping review of original manuscripts describing hypotheses and theories of AD published in past decades.
Methods: We reviewed 127 original manuscripts that fulfilled our inclusion criteria out of more than 13,807 references extracted from open databases (from inception to 14 Sept 2023).

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: Deficits in decision-making (DM) can lead to adverse outcomes across multiple domains such as financial management and medical care. By hindering such DM abilities, cognitive impairment (CI) often affects quality of life. Routine screening for CI, however, does not include systematic and comprehensive assessment of DM ability.

Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the TBI Network, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand.
Objective: To map existing knowledge on screening and rehabilitation outcomes for co-occurring traumatic brain injury among people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Articles focusing on screening and rehabilitation outcomes in participants sustaining co-occurring traumatic brain injury and traumatic spinal cord injury (all ages) were identified in Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses electronic databases. There were no limitations on study design, date, or geographical location.
Exploring Rehabilitation Protocols for Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair: Insights from a Scoping Review.

Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Hacettepe University Medical School, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: The primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has re-emerged as a treatment for acute ruptures. While numerous studies have investigated rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction, few have focused on primary repair. We aimed to describe the rehabilitation protocols for primary ACL repair, and to identify knowledge gaps and differences between primary ACL repair and reconstruction.
