In the part with the reviews you will be able to read interesting contributions on ‘too much salt’, forensic paediatrics, extubation, Pro/Con steroids for bronchiolitis, rectal prolapse, polysomnography,…

In the part with the original clinical studies, you may find the answer to these questions:

• Should we establish new norms for developmental milestones?
• Do microbes influence neurocognition?
• Does a higher BMI influence chronic pain?
• Are scabies and rheumatic fever associated?
• Is fitness related to cardiometabolic risk (or is it ‘fatness’)?
• Can daily baked egg intake induce tolerance in allergic children?
• Do most infants have protective measles antibodies at 3 months of age?
• What are the early life predictors of fetal alcohol syndrome?
• How does congenital CMV infection influence growth?
• What happens with children who present in A&E with chest pain?
• Are molecular viral detection methods useful in ‘fever without a source’ in infants?
• Is chronic school absenteeism a diagnostic clue for paediatricians?
• Is CYP2C19 associated with infections in children on PPIs?
• How common is adrenal insufficiency in children with EoE on topical steroids?
• Can religion lead to lower vaccine rates?
• What are the infant and maternal outcomes after early or delayed cord clamping?
