In the part with the review articles, there are contributions on: long term effects of ADHD medication, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, food allergy desensitization, GBS, enteric parasites, rotavirus vaccine, biomarkers for infection, and even the question ‘to LP or not to LP’…

 

In the part with the clinical studies you may find the answers to the following questions:

 

  • Is it worthwhile to add a lot of iron in infant formula?
  • Is medical clowning a good idea in the case of ASS?
  • Can social robots address the emotional needs of hospitalized children?
  • Does tic suppression work after 1 year?
  • Which test do parents prefer for appendicitis?
  • Do we have a reference range for αFP in Beckwith-Wiedemann?
  • Which oxygen saturation leads to ROP?
  • Does little sleep in infancy correlate with overweight as a toddler?
  • Which mental illnesses plague children with chronic physical conditions?
  • How much do parents actually use their smartphones?
  • Does suboptimal vaccine effectiveness play a major role in recent pertussis epidemics?
  • Is domperidone a good drug to treat vomiting in gastro-enteritis?
  • Could you ever believe that anesthetists are better at performing intubation in neonates than pediatrician?
  • Does acid suppression lead to an improvement in symptoms in children?
  • Is acid suppression associated with an increased childhood fracture hazard?
  • Does metagenomic next-generation sequencing lead to better pathogen identification in meningitis?
