Objective: The purpose of this protocol is to clearly describe the process for the scoping review we plan to conduct on the topic of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in common neurodegenerative diseases. We will present the review's objective, the strategy for evidence search, the data extraction and analysis procedure, and how the results will be presented.
Methods: The inclusion criteria for the planned scoping review will focus on evidence sources that involve PRS applied to neurogenerative diseases such as Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in any phase of translational research, from early development to clinical implementation. This includes its use in risk prediction, early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision-making. The research questions were created based on the population, context, and concept framework. We will consider both peer-reviewed papers and grey literature published in English or German for inclusion. Two independent reviewers will search for information.
Concluison: The findings from the scoping review will be presented descriptively and summarized according to the research questions to illustrate the current status of translational research on PRS in common neurodegenerative diseases.

Innovative care models: Expanding nurses' and optometrists' roles in ophthalmology.
Nurs Ethics
March 2025
Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore; Uehiro Oxford Institute, University of Oxford.
The expanding demands of healthcare necessitate novel methods of increasing the supply of trained professionals to enhance the delivery of care services. One means of doing so is to expand allied health professionals' scope of practice. This paper explores the ethics of two examples of such expansion in ophthalmology, comparing the widely accepted practice of nurses administering intravitreal injections and the relatively less prevalent optometrists functioning as physician extenders.

Critically ill patients that require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are among the most ill and complex patients routinely encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Continuous KRT (CKRT) is used across many ICUs as the therapy of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients with kidney failure. Though existing trials have not shown superior survival or kidney recovery with CKRT relative to intermittent KRT, CKRT has largely become the standard of care in developed nations for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with shock, acute brain injury, acute liver failure, and other forms of critical illness.

Flexible devices are soft, lightweight, and portable, making them suitable for large-area applications. These features significantly expand the scope of electronic devices and demonstrate their unique value in various fields, including smart wearable devices, medical and health monitoring, human-computer interaction, and brain-computer interfaces. Protein materials, due to their unique molecular structure, biological properties, sustainability, self-assembly ability, and good biocompatibility, can be applied in electronic devices to significantly enhance the sensitivity, stability, mechanical strength, energy density, and conductivity of the devices.

An interprofessional collaborative approach has nowadays been widely advocated in knee OA management although little is known about the characteristics of care, roles and responsibilities of healthcare providers and how they collaborate as a team to optimise treatment outcomes. The Donabedian structure-process-outcome framework was used in the review.
