Journal Club september 2021

In this month’s list you can find reviews on sleep disorders, genome testing, low vWF, probiotics and the neonatal gut microbiome.

 

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

  • How should we prepare for the 2021 RSV season?
  • What are the predictors for invasive HSV infection?
  • How do residents and fellows perceive ethical dilemmas?
  • Do acellular pertussis vaccines lead to fewer hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes?
  • How good is the modified Bristol Stool Scale?
  • Can desaturations and hypoxia be prevented in anemic preterm infants using RBC infusions?
  • When does high flow oxygen fail in bronchiolitis?
  • Is early tonsillectomy useful for OSAS in children?
  • Can probiotics reduce the incidence of NEC in preterms?
  • And from the COVID front: can SARS-CoV-2 antibodies be found in breast milk, does reinfection lead to a second episode of MISC, which vaccines are effective against the delta variant and what is long-Covid?
