Article Synopsis
- Prescribing medications has been seen mainly as a technical skill in medical education, neglecting the social, political, and economic aspects, which leads to overlooking its ethical implications.
- Current medical ethics education often presents concepts in abstract terms, leaving students unprepared for the complex ethical dilemmas they will face in real practice.
- The authors propose a new framework that considers the broader determinants of ethical prescribing, aiming to enhance educational methods and support future physicians in making informed prescribing decisions across different cultural contexts.

Article Synopsis
- Very large sample sizes are essential for studying autism, and data sharing among diverse studies can help create a unified dataset through data harmonization, which aligns scores from different assessment tools.
- The study used data from over 700 participants, comparing scores on two adaptive functioning measures (VABS and ABAS) and employed multiple regression techniques to predict VABS scores using ABAS scores and other demographic factors.
- Results revealed significantly higher VABS scores in the autism group compared to the ABAS scores, with age being a key factor, and all regression techniques performed similarly in predicting outcomes, highlighting the importance of ABAS score, diagnosis, and age in the prediction model.
