Several antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been linked to lawsuits over birth defects, with Zoloft (sertraline) being the most prominent example. Zoloft, manufactured by Pfizer, has faced numerous legal claims alleging that its use during pregnancy caused…
Several medications are currently the subject of **class action lawsuits**, reflecting growing concerns about their safety, side effects, or corporate conduct related to their marketing and manufacturing. These lawsuits often involve large groups of plaintiffs who allege harm from the…
Global research trends in autism are rapidly evolving, driven by advances in data science, genetics, technology, and a growing awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) worldwide. Researchers are increasingly focusing on understanding the complex causes of autism, improving early diagnosis,…
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plays a central and multifaceted role in autism research, serving as a primary driver of scientific discovery, funding, coordination, and policy guidance aimed at understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD). NIH’s involvement spans from basic…
When it comes to studying autism, several universities stand out worldwide for their extensive research, innovative programs, and commitment to understanding and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. These institutions not only conduct cutting-edge scientific research but also develop practical…
Autism-focused research centers in the United States are specialized institutions dedicated to studying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from multiple angles, including its causes, diagnosis, treatment, and support strategies. These centers bring together experts from various fields such as genetics, neuroscience,…
Wearable technology is increasingly being explored as a tool to track and manage autism symptoms by monitoring physiological and behavioral indicators in real time. Devices such as smartwatches equipped with sensors can measure heart rate, skin conductance, movement patterns, and…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly transformative role in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), offering new possibilities to improve accuracy, speed, and accessibility in ways traditional methods struggle to achieve. Autism diagnosis has historically relied on behavioral…
Eye tracking technology in autism research is a method that measures where and how long a person looks at different visual stimuli, providing detailed information about their visual attention and processing. This technology captures eye movements such as fixations (where…
Biomarkers being studied for autism are diverse biological, genetic, metabolic, and neurophysiological indicators that researchers hope can help detect Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) earlier and more accurately. These biomarkers aim to provide objective measures that reflect underlying differences in brain…
