Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the division of responsibilities between mothers and fathers for healthcare-related tasks involving their children, revealing significant gender differences in these roles.
- Data was collected from over 1,100 parents, showing that mothers are primarily responsible for scheduling appointments and taking children to healthcare visits, often more than twice as likely as fathers.
- The findings suggest that pediatricians can encourage greater involvement from fathers in these tasks, potentially helping to shift societal norms regarding healthcare responsibilities in families.

The American: Academy of Pediatrics advocates for a preventive approach to children's mental health (MH) care and pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) are in a unique position to promote the emotional health of their patients, integrate systems for screening and assessment of MH conditions and provide MH intervention and ongoing clinical follow-up. Integration of a behavioral health service into pediatric primary care has the potential to increase the clinical confidence and MH competency of PCPs and improve patient health outcomes through increased access to and delivery of quality MH care in the primary care setting.
Method: This article describes the step-by-step process of developing and implementing a custom integrated behavioral health (IBH) program into two different academic pediatric primary care clinics located in New York, NY and Chicago, IL.
Congenital malformations of the right atrium are rare heart defects with only a few cases described prenatally. Early diagnosis of these anomalies is becoming increasingly important for proper follow-up and due to the possibility of serious complications such as supraventricular arrhythmia, thromboembolic events, and sudden death. The atrial appendage aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the atrial appendage.

Methods: Each patient underwent total laryngectomy and bilateral ND (levels II-IV); during surgery, tissue samples of around 1 × 0.5 cm were extracted from both healthy tissue adjacent to the tumor and the visibly affected tumor tissue.
Objective: To demonstrate that successful health systems strengthening (HSS) projects have addressed disparities and inequities in maternal and perinatal care in low-income countries.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review covered the period between 1980 and 2022, focusing on successful HSS interventions within health systems' seven core components that improved maternal and perinatal care.
Results: The findings highlight the importance of integrating quality interventions into robust health systems, as this has been shown to reduce maternal and newborn mortality.
