New research challenges long-standing concerns about the antiviral drug oseltamivir, known as Tamiflu, and its potential link to serious neuropsychiatric events in children. Instead, the study attributes such symptoms to the influenza virus itself and shows that Tamiflu treatment halves the risk of these complications. The findings, based on a large analysis of pediatric health records, aim to reassure families and doctors about the drug's safety.

A new study has linked prenatal exposure to traffic-related air pollution with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in boys. Researchers found that higher levels of black carbon during pregnancy were associated with a 1.5 times greater likelihood of autism diagnosis. The findings come from a cohort of over 1,400 children in the Netherlands.
