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 & his team of 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 simply help you to keep a finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
Happy New Year! Most of us have a long list of good intentions for the new year. We hope that keeping up with literature in 2022 is one of them. 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 there a need for specific legislation on small magnets?’, ‘Does grade IV vesicoureteral reflux increase the odds of febrile recurrence of UTI?’, ‘Can a gastrointestinal PCR-panel reduce inappropriate AB prescription in cases with infectious diarrhoea?‘, ‘Does dextrose gel influence the neonatal gut microbiome?’ and ‘Can intranasally administered surfactant improve otitis media?’. Also, the chickenpox review article is highly recommended!
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
