(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - A large randomized controlled trial showed in 2008 that when pregnant women at imminent risk of preterm delivery were given magnesium sulfate, their children had reduced rates of moderate or severe cerebral palsy.

Persistent fears continue about the safety of immunizations and autism. As celebrities weigh in and the internet can be full of misinformation we thought it was important to make our stance clear on vaccines. We respect the rights of all parents to make the best decisions for their children, but in this case the science continues to win this argument. How did this controversy come to be? In the late 1990’s concerns that children vaccinated with products that contained the preservative Thimerosal™ could receive doses of mercury above those considered acceptable were raised....

Throwing and pitching require repetitive, explosive body movements to be executed with precision and athletes perform these motions thousands of times in a season. Many athletes play on multiple teams throughout the year and due to a combination of early sports specialization and year-round participation, many athletes are at risk for overuse injuries. The severity of these injuries varies from minor to severe enough to require surgery....
