2012–2013 – The Year in Preview

SummaryA highlight of many journals is a review of pertinent literature in a specific field that has been published in the preceding year. Although such “Year in Review” presentations are important, at PRR we are pleased to present the news that has not yet happened. In this manuscript, which is a combination of science and fiction, I will present the very best research that has not yet been conducted but will be published sometime in 2012 or 2013. This will cover all aspects of paediatric pulmonary disease. Any resemblance to real research that is actually published during this time period is strictly coincidental and the product of a fertile imagination. However, if these ideas inspire you to do these studies and publish the results it would make this science fiction even more interesting. To quote the famous baseball player, Yogi Berra, “It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future.”1
