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 allow you to keep a finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘How efficient is rubella vaccination during pregnancy?’, ‘What is the relation between screen time and communication in youngsters?’, ‘Are proton pump inhibitors associated with serious infections in young children?’, ‘Is ‘water-drinking’ promotion at school an effective way to fight obesity?’ and ‘Is neonatal clinical examination reliable to detect hip dysplasia?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
