  • Research with children: how to rehabilitate the misconception of the "mad scientist"
    Welcome to the new ADC Spotlight podcast!
    We'll be covering areas that don’t usually get much attention or might be taken for granted with the goal of promoting dialogue.
    In this first podcast, Rachel Agbeko, Associate Editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood, is joined by Jennifer Preston, Senior Patient and Public Involvement Manager at the University of Liverpool, Hugh Davies, Paediatrician and Research Ethics Advisor at the Health Research Authority and Bob Phillips, Paediatric Oncologist and Social Media and Archimedes Editor for ADC.
    They are the authors of four papers about research with children, which are part of a series being published between April and July 2019 by ADC (https://adc.bmj.com/):
    - In the April issue the Leading article ’Research beyond the hospital walls’ and the review ‘Making research central to good paediatric practice’.
    - In May the review ‘How to involve children and young people (CYP) in what is, after all, their research’.
    - In June the review ‘A framework to help design and review research involving children’.
    - In July the review ‘How to navigate the ethical review of research’.

  • From the systematic review to the case reports. Archimedes June 2019
    The application of the best available evidence sometimes leaves you deciding which systematic review of RCTs is the best, and sometimes scrabbling in the tattered remnants of case reports. This podcast takes you across that spectrum from thinking about zinc supplementation for pneumonia in western Europe (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/605.1) to the removal of a VP shunt in a child with appendicitis (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/607 )… who also have a VP shunt, obviously. And we reference Baby Shark and LazyTown too (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/605.2).
    Why not have a listen, wonder at the marvellousness of medicine, and give us your thoughts via the website or Twitter?

  • Baleful babies and the logic of drunks. Archimedes April 2019
    Sometimes there are days where you wish you’d not done something, and for many of us, those will be the days after drinking on an evening/night/early-morning out. (And for those who live in Oxford; it’s NEVER the kebab van. It’s the beer.) But there are gems of wisdom to be found by those who observe the socially unfettered antics, as you’ll hear if you listen in.
    You’ll also get to learn about how best to manage an asymptomatic twin if their sib is admitted with group B strep disease, [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/4/401.1] or if a baby with a simple pneumothorax can be cured with more oxygen than usual [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/4/405]
    Why not have a listen, ponder your drinking habits, and give us your thoughts via the website or Twitter?

  • Quality improvement and safety in high performing neonatal intensive care units
    The Editor's Choice paper of the ADC Fetal & Neonatal January edition explores the characteristics of successful neonatal intensive care units and is the topic of a broader discussion between Jonathan Davis, ADC Fetal & Neonatal Associate Editor, and Dr Joseph Kaempf, Women and Children’s Services, Department of Neonatology, Portland, USA.
    Dr Kaempf is the corresponding author of the paper “Using a composite morbidity score and cultural survey to explore characteristics of high proficiency neonatal intensive care units” (https://fn.bmj.com/content/104/1/F13).
    Read the related editorial as well, “The secret sauce: secrets of high performing neonatal intensive care units” (https://fn.bmj.com/content/104/1/F4).

  • A guide to managing a child with a new finding of neutropenia
    Why are neutrophils called the firemen of the immune system? Low count of these cells in the blood lead to neutropenia, which may arise in a variety of situations from a well child with a physiological neutropenia to a sick infant with life-threatening infection.
    Editor-in-Chief of ADC Nick Brown talks to the authors of the paper Rebecca James (Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, York, UK) and Bob Phillips (Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, University of York).
    The podcast accompanies the article published by ADC Education & Practice (https://ep.bmj.com/content/early/2019/02/26/archdischild-2019-316829).

  • Sometimes you don’t get what you want. Archimedes March 2019
    There are some questions which are really hard - this month people are trying to answer them. These include “Can I prevent SIDS with a baby sleeping bag?”
    [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/3/305] and “Which pressor is first choice in children with septic shock?” [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/3/303.1] and also - “How often is too often to cry ‘Wolf!’?” [ https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2016/03/02/how-often-can-you-cry-wolf/].
