Comparison of BiliCocoon phototherapy with overhead phototherapy in hyperbilirubinemic neonates. A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Around 2-6% of term or late preterm neonates receive phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. Standard treatment today is overhead phototherapy. A new device has been developed, the BiliCocoon, where the neonates are "wrapped" presumably making them more comfortable.

"WE do it together!" An Ethnographic Study of the Alliance Between Child and Hospital Clown During Venipunctures.

Purpose: Hospital clowns are widely used as a means of non-pharmacological intervention in the treatment of hospitalized children. However, little research has examined the impact of clowns on common painful needle-related procedures. This study explored children's pain experience and their ability to cope during a venipuncture while interacting with a clown in the acute admission unit.
