AI Article Synopsis
- Human actions are changing the Earth, and we need to reconsider how we think about our relationship with nature.
- Aldo Leopold's Land Ethic suggests we should care about the whole environment, not just individual people, which is different from many current ideas about ethics.
- By using the Land Ethic, we can better decide how to share healthcare resources while making sure we don't harm the planet.
Article Abstract
Human activity is now having a defining influence on global systems. The Anthropocene epoch requires revisiting our ethical presuppositions to understand our relationship to the earth's life support systems. The Land Ethic of Aldo Leopold proposes an ethic that is diachronic, holistic, and biocentric, in contrast to the synchronic, individualist, and anthropocentric axioms of mainstream bioethics. I argue that these features of the Land Ethic make it more suitable to engage with the ethics of healthcare resource allocation in the Anthropocene; that understanding sustainability in a Land Ethical fashion requires that we view it as placing a side-constraint on all permissible healthcare resource use such that this use remains within planetary boundaries; and outline how this might re-shape debates around healthcare resource allocation.

JBI, School of Public Health, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Principles, theories, and models of education for health professionals have not evolved in parallel with advanced requirements for evidence-based practice (EBP). We propose that groups such as JBI, with a global network of clinical and academic centers, are well placed to reignite the debate and advance evidence-based curriculum development. This can be achieved by operationalizing the JBI Model for Evidence-Based Healthcare within the Sicily statement's pedagogical framework.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) generate substantial data, often stored in image or PDF formats. Remote monitoring, now an integral component of patient care, places considerable administrative burdens on clinicians and staff, in large part due to the challenge of integrating these data seamlessly into electronic health records. Since 2006, the Heart Rhythm Society, in collaboration with the CIED industry, has led an initiative to establish a unified standard nomenclature.

Orthopedic injuries in Gaza, many of which would be straightforward to manage under normal circumstances, have become increasingly complex and challenging due to ongoing conflict, severe healthcare limitations, and delayed treatment. This review highlights cases of injuries that, if treated promptly, could have been managed with standard protocols but have evolved into complicated and difficult-to-treat conditions. Delayed care, lack of resources, and restricted rehabilitation significantly increase the complexity of treatment and lead to higher rates of complications, and impaired outcomes.
