Autism spectrum disorder risk was similar with prenatal topiramate or lamotrigine vs. no antiseizure medication exposure. Prenatal valproate was tied to a dose-dependent increased autism spectrum disorder risk. Autism spectrum disorder incidence was higher for children with prenatal exposure to antiseizure medications vs. the general population, but some associations weakened...

I’d follow behind them all day, returning each toy where it belongs, but who has that kind of time?

Consumer insecticide sprays provide “little to no value” against German cockroach infestations, researchers say. A study has found that most consumer insecticide sprays are ineffective against German cockroaches, with over 80% of these pests surviving exposure to common pyrethroid-based products. Researchers emphasize the need for better testing standards and more effective pest control strategies, including integrated pest management.
