New research from UNC shows that rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are increasing sharply, with the most dramatic increase among girls aged 13-17.

Researchers use MRIs to make connections between brain regions to predict which high-risk infants will develop autism.

Treatment for thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy has been shown to have no impact on the IQ of children by age five.

A comprehensive clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, challenges three decades worth of observational studies by conclusively demonstrating that treatment between eight and 20 weeks of gestation does not have an impact on adverse outcomes in children through five years of age.
