Compared to maternal exposures, little attention has been paid to the possibility of paternally induced adverse effects on fetal development. There is increasing concern, however, about the potential for male-mediated developmental toxicity brought about by exposure to teratogenic agents. This is evidenced by the number of calls regarding paternal exposures that are received by teratogen information services. In this paper, we report the experience of the state of Florida's Teratogen Information Services regarding questions asked about paternal exposures, and briefly review what is known about the risk of paternal exposure to the 10 agents which are most frequently queried.

Epilepsy is a common condition. In most cases, treatment with medications is satisfactory. When antiepileptic drugs fail to control the seizures, further evaluation may be warranted. EEG-video monitoring can allow a definitive diagnosis of epileptic seizures to be made by differentiating epileptic events from paroxysmal symptoms that can be mistaken for seizures (i.e., pseudoseizures). In addition, it usually allows one to accurately diagnose the seizure type, facilitating selection of the best possible treatment. Occasionally, surgery may be a therapeutic option in patients with intractable seizures.

Habit or psychogenic cough is a common problem of unknown etiology with a variety of suggested therapies. A postulated mechanism is a cough which causes vibration of the airway walls, irritation and more cough. Nebulized lidocaine breaks this cycle and allows control and resolution of the cough.

In the South, especially Appalachia, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer has remained high relative to the rest of the United States. Populous Florida now stands third among states by incidence and fifth from last in Pap screening. During the 1994 survey, 2,059 Florida women chosen as a multi-stage cluster sample were interviewed concerning their use of screening Pap smears. Never-participation in screening percentages were significantly higher in Hispanic women (14.7%), those sharing household incomes of less than $10,000 (13.2%), and women limited to a high school education (10.7%), but not among respondents older than 64 years of age (8.7%). Despite continued annual physician contact by most, yearly Pap smears fell to only 57.0% among women aged 55-64 years. It is important that physicians target these women and use any appropriate clinical contact to educate them about risk factors for cervical cancer while encouraging regular, continued use of this life-saving test.
