Can’t get enough of Bubble Wrap? The Bubble Wrap Plus is a monthly paediatric journal club reading list from Anke Raaijmakers, working with Professor Jaan Toelen and his team at the University Hospitals in Leuven. This comprehensive list is developed from 34 journals, including major and subspecialty paediatric journals. We suggest this list can help you discover relevant or interesting articles for your local journal club or help you to keep an finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Can postnatal pertussis be prevented by antenatal vaccination?’, ‘Is probiotics supplementation in healthy children indicated?’, ‘Are correction factors/formulas useful in case of traumatic lumbar puncture?’, ‘How often do parents use paracetamol and ibuprofen in children with fever?’ and ‘Is intranasal oxytocin useful in children with ASS?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
