Here is a new Bubble Wrap Plus, our monthly paediatric Journal Club List provided by Professor Jaan Toelen & his team 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. For a summary on COVID-19, we refer to our collection of COVID resources and in particular, our weekly updated literature summary.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘What are atypical presentations of Covid-19 in children?’, ‘Can cycled phototherapy substantially reduce total treatment time?’, ‘Is saline nasal irrigation useful for acute upper respiratory tract infections?’, ‘What is the clinical value of Factor XIII in HSP?’ and ‘ Is iron supplementation useful for breath holding spells?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
