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 an finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Does alcohol intoxication lead to QTc prolongation?’, ‘Is ultrasound useful in the workup of suspected cryptorchidism?’, ‘Is a short-course (<48) intravenous treatment an option for young infants with non-bacteraemic UTI?’, ‘Should we use tape to make button batteries safer before disposal?’ and ‘Should we perform immunological investigations in children with invasive pneumococcal disease?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
