Environmental degradation, the number one threat to humanity, is increasingly impacting health. Healthcare systems contribute significantly to this pollution, particularly through greenhouse gas emissions from pharmaceuticals. Healthcare professionals can take action by reducing the use of low-value medicines, as recommended by "smarter medicine - Choosing Wisely Switzerland." This convergence between eco-friendly medicine and Choosing Wisely initiatives is illustrated in this article by an "eco-top 5 list" of drugs whose reduced use would benefit both patients and the environment.

An aspect of great relevance in forensic investigation is preserving criminal evidence, and nondestructive techniques for analysis are needed. RS has great potential for characterizing pen inks in questioned documents, and it has even been considered promising for trace intersection and dating investigations.

In South Korea, the increasing incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) and aging population warrant consideration of HZ vaccination for older adults. There is a need to understand the HZ vaccine-related preferences of adults aged ≥50 years and adult children (working or financially independent adults contributing to healthcare decision-making for their parents aged ≥50 years). A discrete choice experiment was conducted to elicit HZ vaccine preferences of the HZ-naïve general public aged ≥50 years ( = 500), current/former HZ patients aged ≥50 years ( = 150), and adult children ( = 150).
