Here is a new Bubble Wrap Plus, our monthly paediatric Journal Club List provided by
Professor Jaan Toelen of the University Hospitals in Leuven (Belgium). This comprehensive
list of ‘articles to read’ comes from 34 journals, including Pediatrics, The Journal of
Pediatrics, Archives of Disease in Childhood, JAMA Pediatrics, Journal of Paediatrics and
Child Health, NEJM, and many more.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Is placebo a good
treatment option for irritable bowel syndrome?’, ‘What are the differences between MIS-C
from Covid-19, Kawasaki and TSS?’, ‘Do neonatologists and paediatric intensivists treat their
patients differently?’, ‘Is migraine associated with GER?’ and ‘Did rotavirus vaccination lead
to more norovirus infections?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
