Pro and cons of steroids in wheezy toddlers, circumcisions in children, advances in bronchiectasis, the myth of milk and mucus, functional seizures, pain assessment in children with cognitive disabilities…

In the part with the clinical studies, you may find an answer to the following questions:

• What antibiotic should I give in bronchiectasis exacerbations?
• Should I resuscitate preterms using 21% or 100% O2?
• What do parents think of consent in neonatal research?
• Is infant colic a consequence of gut inflammation?
• How do very preterms do at school?
• Do antibiotics really work in appendicitis?
• Is breastfeeding still better than bottle feeding?
• Do boys get more seizures when they had phototherapy at birth? And what about girls?
• And is there a chance that hyperbilirubinemia leads to asthma?
• Should you perform a colonoscopy for recurrent abdominal pain?
• Should you replace the Bristol Stool Scale with the Brussels Stool Scale?
• What are the bladder symptoms in children with functional constipation?
• Is VR a good way to distract children from painful procedures?
• Should cannulas be replaced in neonates electively?
• Does appendicitis run in families?
