Children of mothers who took certain antiseizure medications while pregnant do not have worse neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 6, according to a long-running study funded by NIH. The study was published in JAMA Neurology.

Results from a large NCI-funded clinical trial found that the immunotherapy drug nivolumab should be part of the initial treatment of teens and adults with advanced forms of classic Hodgkin lymphoma.

Covid-19 infection may have significantly increased the risk of heart attack, stroke and death for up to three years among unvaccinated people early in the pandemic when the original SARS-CoV-2 virus strain emerged. The NIH-supporting findings confirm previous research showing an associated higher risk of cardiovascular events after a Covid-19 infection but are the first to suggest the heightened risk might last up to three years following initial infection, at least among people infected in the first wave of the pandemic.
