Pediatric Pulmonology year in review 2016: Part 1.

Pediatric Pulmonology continues to publish research and clinical topics related to the entire range of children's respiratory disorders. As we have done annually in recent years, we here summarize the past year's publications in our major topic areas, as well as selected literature in these areas from other core journals relevant to our discipline. This review (Part 1) covers selected articles on sleep, diagnostic testing/endoscopy, respiratory complications of neuromuscular disorders, and rare lung diseases.
