Objective: To investigate primiparous women's partners for knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the physical home food environment (PHFE), and to assess if the first pregnancy provides a teachable opportunity to enhance the PHFE of first-time pregnant couples.

Design: This was a two-phase longitudinal in-depth qualitative study involving questionnaires and individual interviews during and after pregnancy.

Participants: Fifteen male partners of primigravida women.

Article Synopsis
  • Rising mental health issues among children and adolescents are significant globally, with pediatricians as key players in addressing these challenges due to a shortage of mental health professionals and resources.
  • A Delphi study involving 92 experts aimed to redefine pediatricians' roles in mental health care, focusing on topics like risk identification and parental guidance.
  • Results showed strong agreement on pediatricians' involvement in mental health support, but opinions varied on prescribing medication and service changes, highlighting the need for more mental health training for pediatricians and a structured approach to care.*

Colloidal dispersions composed of polymethylmetacrylate particles dispersed in a mixture of cyclohexyl bromide and decalin find widespread use as model systems in optical microscopy experiments. While the system allows simultaneous density and refractive index matching, preparing particles with hard potentials remains challenging, and strong variations in the physical parameters of samples prepared in the same manner are commonly observed. Here, we present data on the measurement of forces between individual pairs of particles in highly diluted dispersions over the course of tens of days using the blinking optical tweezers method.
