Organizational professionalism can support organizational cultures that bolster trust through the sound implementation of laws, policies, and procedures to support the delivery of high-quality patient care. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Payers have a moral responsibility for reimbursing social care to address historical injustices, says Jacob Riegler. He describes the ethical hazards in paying for social care and propose a way to finance this through value-based payments. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This open access article analyzes the Israeli example of the legal developments, bioethical nuances, and societal perspectives surrounding posthumous sperm use, particularly in the context of soldiers falling during their service. #Israel #JewishBioethics www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Will portable MRI research escape regulatory oversight altogether under existing U.S. privacy and research ethical frameworks, leaving research participants without adequate protections? Barbara J. Evans investigates. #PortableMRI #MRI www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This open-access article explores the ethical challenges of pMRI in neuroscience research and the dynamic leadership role that IRBs should play to promote ethical oversight of emerging pMRI research. #neuroimaging #pmri www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

RSVP now for Navigating the Politicization of Reproductive Health. The seminar is Tuesday, March 4, noon-1pm ET, on Zoom. Hosted by: @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social @wclgtlp.bsky.social, ASLME and the American Health Law Association. More information available at: www.american.edu/wcl/impact/i...

Portable MRI (pMRI) has the potential to directly impact dementia research and ultimately clinical care. But, as researchers including @sdukehan.bsky.social @tuite002.bsky.social explain, there are ethical challenges that must be confronted. #neuroimaging www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Prof. Susan Wolf co-edited a symposium issue of the @jlme-journal.bsky.social.The collection of 10 articles maps the huge potential and oversight challenges of emerging biopreservation technologies to stop biological time. z.umn.edu/a1sq

Five years ago, we launched a quarterly column on “Global Health Law” in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, warning of a rising public health threat that would require global health law. globalhealthlawconsortium.org/jlme-global-... So much has changed, but the need for global health law remains

"Portable MRI Research ELSI Checklist" offers practical guidance for pMRI researchers confronted with novel ethical, legal, and societal issues for which their training has not prepared them. Check out the paper in JLME. doi.org/10.1017/jme.... @drdamienfair.bsky.social @sdukehan.bsky.social

Portable MRI research conducted far from a medical institution and potentially in populations facing barriers to health care access raises the question of how to manage incidental findings (IFs) that may warrant clinical workup. #neuroimaging #ResearchEthics www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Portable MRI (pMRI) technology, which promises to transform brain imaging research by facilitating scanning in new geographic areas and the participation of new, diverse populations, raises many ethical, legal, and societal issues. #neuroimaging www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Congratulations to @dorfmandoron.bsky.social on joining the board of @jlme-journal.bsky.social!

"...pMRI holds the potential to generate a paradigm shift in neuroimaging research.Reference Shen7 Instead of research participants traveling to the scanner, now the scanner can come to them." But there are potential ethical concerns. #pMRI #MRI #Neuroimaging www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The Globe: @akesselheim.bsky.social "received an email from the Health and Human Services Department telling him he had to pull an article for his upcoming edition because it was written by an HHS employee and it had not been reviewed by the Trump administration." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/28/m...

US dependence on profit-oriented corporations to oversee pharmaceutical development has resulted in increasing drug prices, diminished innovation, persistent shortages, and increased manufacturing off-shoring. This @portalresearch.org column offers a way to fix it. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The article, scheduled to be published in JLME this spring, was based on a presentation last October at a Penn symposium about new HHS Office of Research Integrity regulations. Coeditor @hollylynchez.bsky.social spoke to the Inquirer. www.inquirer.com/health/journ...

Alarming to see how broad the HHS communications blackout is, now requiring the Trump administration to review scientific articles undergoing peer review & already presented at a public forum. Agree w/@hollylynchez.bsky.social's take that this seems like censorship - www.statnews.com/pharmalot/20...

Due to the Trump administration freeze on communication from government agencies, an article JLME planned to publish this spring on research misconduct has been placed on hold. Read more: www.statnews.com/pharmalot/20...
