Answer:

B. ethosuximide-valproic acid can be used for absence seizures

Explanation:

The child is suffering from absence seizures and out of above mentioned drugs clonazepam and ethosuximide could be used for the treatment but, clonazepam has depressant effect on central nervous system. On the other hand ethosuximide has less adverse affects, not so sedating and tolerance also does not evolve against its anti-seizure activity. Other medication for this childhood epilepsy include valporic acid and lamotrigine other then ethosuximide, but all these medications have there own side effects with ethosuximide having the fewer.

After hundreds of tests and retests, scientists have found definitive proof that gmo foods are dangerous to human and animal hea
Mademuasel [1]

True gmo foods are dangerous to human and animal health.

GMO foods are as healthful and safe to eat as their non-GMO counterparts. Some GMO plants have actually been modified to improve their nutritional value. An example is GMO soybeans with healthier oils that can be used to replace oils that contain trans fats.

The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters. Research indicates that GM crop technology can result in a net increase in herbicide use and can foster the growth of herbicide resistant weeds. In addition, there is concern that the use of GM crops may negatively impact the agriculture ecosystem.
