\markboth– two parameters (left and right page) or\markrightwith just one parameter\markboth{\uppercase{Summary}}{\uppercase{Summary}}- You should note that a left-hand heading is generated by the last
\markbothcommand before the end of the page, while a right-hand heading is generated by the first\markbothor\markrightthat comes on the page if there is one, otherwise by the last one before the page. (source)

\def\dothis#1{ … whatever #1 … }
