TL;DR: All studies reviewed suggest that human-rights based approaches can lead to clinical improvements at relatively low costs, and the fact that such approaches can contribute to positive therapeutic outcomes and, potentially, cost savings, is additional reason for their implementation.

TL;DR: It is argued that the duty of easy rescue—the principle that persons should benefit others when this can be done at no or minimal risk to themselves—grounds the removal of consent requirements for minimally risky records-based research.

TL;DR: Alternate-day caloric restriction without overall energy reduction does not ameliorate the metabolic impairment induced in lean men by 8 days of bed rest, and no positive effects emerged from ADCR on these negative health outcomes.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how blockchain technologies can be used to further all three of the bioethical principles underlying consent requirements: the autonomy of patients, by giving them much greater control over their data; beneficence, by greatly facilitating medical research efficiency and by reducing biases and opportunities for errors; and justice, by enabling patients with rare or under-researched conditions to pseudonymously aggregate their data for analysis.

TL;DR: It is argued that changes in cognitive abilities are morally relevant to the extent that they increase the capacities that affect the moral status of any entity, including awareness, autonomy, and sociability.
