  • When neonates and the unspoken collide. Archimedes February 2020
    The delight we all have in neonates spills over this issue, where we tackle the thorny issues of QTc prolongation with domperidone (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/202) and how best to manage the concerns of a midwife over an raised cord blood lactate (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/200.1). Sadly, how to remember how to calculate QTc or work in a constructive interprofessional manner aren’t all cleared up.
    We also consider what isn’t being said when people write (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/200.2) with a focus on clinical research reports.

  • Tiny numbers, tiny things, and knowing when something hasn’t changed though it looks like it has.
    Later than usual, this is the podcast about the Archimedes of the December 2019 issue.
    Children seem to throw up because they are poorly, or because they are excited, or because they are hot, or because they had too many fizzy sweeties, or because they know you’ve just had the car cleaned. So how do we manage a child who’s had a little head bump and has thrown up once? Find out in this podcast (and read more here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1231)
    You can also discover if slow and steady is better than quick and often, at least when it comes to vancomycin dosing and tiny people (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1229.1 ). The answer’s obvious, of course, but .. well. Both could ‘obviously’ be correct, couldn’t they?
    And we also talk about how to know if two things which seems to have changed are really the same from a different viewpoint, sort of. Well, it’s a tricky idea but one which is worth getting to understand (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1229.2 )

  • Brain tumour MRIs - children and parents’ views
    MRI is essential to the clinical management of children and young people with brain tumours and it is common practice to show these to patients and families, but how they emotionally respond to seeing brain tumour imaging? Rachel Agbeko explores the qualitative study "Patients’ and parents’ views on brain tumour MRIs" with the leading author of the paper Natalie Tyldesley-Marshall (Research fellow at the Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, UK) and Dr Gail Halliday, Consultant in Paediatric Oncology, Great North Children’s Hospital, The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

  • Big events and the problems of predictions. Archimedes November 2019
    This month brings big decisions and how to make them in our critical appraisal note (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.2) and this flows seamlessly into the questions too... almost like there’s some planning involved. We’re asking if prenatal echo can tell us who will need emergency atrial septostomies to make birth as safe to home as close to home a reality (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.1.abstract), and if apparently asymptomatic babies and children with malrotation really need and operation to untwirl their guts (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1116).
    If these get you excited to write your own story, head on over to the instructions to authors and find out how https://adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes

  • An additional vote for parents? Giving children a voice
    What if children could vote earlier? And before that, could they make themselves heard by entrusting their parents with their vote? Professor Neena Modi (Imperial College London, UK) says ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. Listen to the thought-provoking conversation with ADC’s Senior Editor Rachel Agbeko. The two paediatricians discuss the evidence behind these proposals and the role of doctors in the process of giving children a voice.
    Read the related paper on the Archives of Disease in Childhood website (free for a month): https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/05/16/archdischild-2018-316523.
    There’s also a letter on this topic. “Age of consent?” is co-authored by a young person, Joseph Brown, as well as co-peer-reviewed by young people: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/09/17/archdischild-2019-318106.
