1.Research advances in familial facial nerve paralysis
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2024;41(1):88-91
Familial facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) is a genetic disorder, and its pathogenesis remains unclear, which may be associated with anatomical factors, genetic factors, and immune factors. This disease has a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis and tends to have sequelae. People should raise their awareness of this disease, and timely prevention and early diagnosis and treatment should be performed. This article reviews related articles in China and globally, so as to improve the understanding of this disease among clinicians.

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 2004;36(6):510-513
The authors present an analysis of papers published on Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society(JKNS) in 2004. There were 217 peer reviewed articles. 118 were clinical articles, 78 were case reports, 17 were laboratory investigations, two were technical reports, and the other two were special articles. This distribution was not statistically different from 2003(p=0.53). Number of English articles was increased with statistical significance (p<0.001). There were 46 English clinical articles, 72 English case reports, nine English laboratory investigations, and so on. The trends in papers on JKNS in 2004 are thought to be desirable ones for JKNS to become an internationally evaluated journal.

Objective:
We aimed to provide practical guidance on the scoping review process, building on the methodologies and general steps outlined by Arksey and O’Malley, Levac et al. and The Joanna Briggs Institute.
Methods:
We reviewed the methodologies of three scoping studies conducted by the authors in the College of Public Health, University of the Philippines Manila between 2016 and 2017. For each project, we outlined the steps, tools utilized, good practices performed, challenges encountered, and recommendations for improving the scoping review process in relation to existing guidelines. We compared the similarities and differences across the three reviews and guidelines to come up with a list of good practices and recommendations.
Results:
We propose an expanded 10-step and iterative framework based on our analysis of three scoping studies:
Define your research question; 2. Specify your research statement according to population, concept, and context;
Prepare the necessary tools, forms, and software packages; 4. Assemble your expert panel and/or consultants;
Develop your search strategy; 6. Implement the search strategy and retrieve identified studies; 7. Screen and assess studies for inclusion in the scoping review; 8. Chart the data; 9. Synthesize your results; and 10. Prepare your final report.
Conclusion
Scoping reviews as a method of evidence synthesis are increasingly gaining popularity among researchers due to the scope of what can be reviewed in a relatively short amount of time. With only three scoping studies informing our proposed methodology, other issues and challenges in the conduct of a scoping review may have been missed in the expanded framework presented in this paper. We suggest future studies to apply existing scoping review methodologies, to further enhance this rapidly evolving framework in research, policy, and practice.

10.Psychometric properties of instruments to measure the well-being of young children: A systematic review protocol
Paulin Grace Morato-Espino ; Jose Ma. Rafael Ramos ; Ivan Neil Gomez
Philippine Journal of Allied Health Sciences 2023;7(1):43-48
Background:
Child well-being is an important outcome and has received attention from researchers for decades. Until recently, there has been
difficulty in drawing conclusions from these studies because of the wide variety of measures used.
Objective:
This systematic review aims to summarize and assess the measurement properties of existing child well-being instruments presented in the literature.
Methods:
This systematic
review will focus on studies that evaluated the psychometric properties of instruments to measure the well-being of children ages two to seven.
The search strategy will aim to locate studies in the English language completed from 2000 to 2023. The databases to be searched include MEDLINE
via PubMed, CINAHL Plus, and Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection via EBSCOhost. Proquest Dissertations and Theses, Google Scholar, and
Research Gate will be used to search unpublished studies. Following the search, all identified citations will be collated in Mendeley. The full text of
selected citations will be uploaded to JBI-SUMARI, assessed in detail against the inclusion criteria, and critically appraised using the COSMIN Risk
of Bias checklist by two independent reviewers. Data will be extracted using JBI-SUMARI by one reviewer and verified by another. Findings will be
reported using a narrative synthesis and tables. If possible, a meta-analysis will be performed. The evidence for each measurement property for
each instrument will be compared against acknowledged standards for appropriate measurement characteristics using the COSMIN-proposed
"criteria for good measurement properties."
Expected Results:
This systematic review will provide further evidence regarding the measurement
properties of instruments used to measure the well-being of children, specifically in the early years. The findings of this study will be disseminated
through a conference presentation and publication in a peer-reviewed journal
