Back to the cut and thrust of clinical neonatology for the September 2023 Archimedes, where we visit the challenge of sugar-free babies again. How do you move forward with uncertainty about the adverse effects of medicines but significant problems with the adverse effects of disease processes? [doi 10.1136/archdischild-2023-325726]

We also flicker our minds back to the Olden Days, when analysers were simpler and viral PCRs were Special And Rare. And where Jones criteria were more in evidence than circulating IL23 levels. We ask - how does time change things? [doi 10.1136/archdischild-2023-326113]

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you’re fidning the podcast offerings.

Welcome to a new world of Archimedes mini-pods; for those days when you don’t have an Archimedes to listen to or explore, you can pick up the latest issue and train your critically appraising eye on another article.

This month we look at one of the best descriptions of the development (and limitations) of a multivariable prediction model we’ve seen in some time [DOI 10.1136/archdischild-2022-325158 - https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/8/608]. Prediction - and what to do about it - has been a longstanding fave of Archi and gets all the gold stars. [DOI 10.1136/archdischild-2021-322314 - https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/6/609.2]

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us what you think of the miniPods.

Editor-in-Chief of the Archives of Disease in Childhood, Dr. Nick Brown, and Senior Editor of ADC, Dr. Rachel Agbeko, bring you the monthly Atoms - the highlights of the August 2023 issue.

This month, Dr. Rachel Agbeko, Senior Editor of ADC, is joined by Claire Zhang (1), to discuss a scoping review of the literature on children's use of healthcare in the UK, and ethnic differences and inequities found there. Children's healthcare outcomes are an important factor in health across the general lifespan, but most studies on healthcare utilisation deal only with adults, so this is a topic with a need for further exploration.
