Bumper Bubble Wrap PLUS – March/April 2020

SHARE VIA:

Here is a Bumper Bubble Wrap Plus, our paediatric Journal Club List provided by Professor Jaan Toelen & his team of the University Hospitals in Leuven (Belgium). Including some Paediatric COVID articles, but for a summary on COVID-19, we refer to our collection of COVID resources and in particular, our weekly updated literature summary. Our comprehensive Bubble Wrap Plus 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 Bumper List features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Do children with ADHD have a slower growth?’, ‘Which respiratory viruses can be found in children with FUO?’, ‘ Do parents prefer shorter waiting times and do they want to avoid painful procedures in the A&E department? (now it is EBM!)’, ‘What is pentoxifyllin and why would neonatologists start to use it?’  and ‘Is pyelonephritis possible in children who display neither pyuria nor bacteriuria?’.

You will find the list is broken down into five sections:
