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.

Background: Brucellosis remains a significant public health and economic challenge in Egypt despite long-standing control efforts. This paper outlines the national strategy for brucellosis control, detailing its legal framework, diagnostic protocols, surveillance mechanisms, vaccination programs, and biosecurity measures.
Main Body: Egypt employs a dual approach of test-and-slaughter and selective vaccination, supported by serological and pathological diagnostics.

Patients' sense of safety and well-being may be affected in numerous ways while being cared for in hospitals. Often, feelings of alienation arise, as private spaces like the home are inaccessible. One aspect that impacts patients' safety and well-being is the design of the physical care environment.

The emergence of organoid models has significantly bridged the gap between traditional cell cultures/animal models and authentic human disease states, particularly for genetic disorders, where their inherent genetic fidelity enables more biologically relevant research directions and enhances translational validity. This review systematically analyzes established organoid models of genetic diseases across organs (e.g.

This study investigates how the seven core resilience principles are integrated into assessments of forest system resilience to natural or human-induced disturbances across engineering, ecological, and social-ecological resilience concepts. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search in the Web of Science database using the keywords "resilience", "forest" and "ecosystem services" yielded 1828 studies, of which 330 met the selection criteria. The most commonly used criterion was diversity, a sub-criterion of "diversity and redundancy", appearing in 50% of studies.
