Article Synopsis
- Children diagnosed with ADHD often do not receive timely follow-up care after being prescribed medication, with only 44% attending a follow-up visit within 30 days in 2018.
- A study was conducted to identify factors influencing the likelihood of these follow-up visits, examining aspects such as race, age, geographical location, and types of care received.
- Results showed that African American children, middle school-aged kids, those living in rural areas, and those lacking prior emergency visits or therapy were less likely to attend follow-up appointments, highlighting disparities in care.

Confronted with this harsh reality, Georgia reestablished maternal mortality review as one strategy to address its high maternal mortality.

Hypertension
February 1998
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an endogenous hormone of adrenal zona glomerulosa cells and is released in response to stimulation by agonists such as angiotensin II (Ang II). It stimulates the release of aldosterone from cultured bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa cells. These studies were designed to determine whether this steroidogenic effect of PGE2 was mediated by an EP1, EP2, or EP3 receptor.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
June 1993
Purpose: To determine the regional distribution and selectivity of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) specific binding sites in membrane preparations from bovine iris ciliary body.
Methods: Bovine eyes were obtained fresh from a local abattoir. Whole irides were separated into sphincter muscle, ciliary body, and remaining iris tissue then homogenized in 50 mM tris buffer, pH 7.
