  • Helping parents to talk to their dying children
    This podcast is a conversation between Dr Jan Aldridge, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at Martin House Children’s Hospice, Yorkshire, and Dr Bob Phillips, Consultant Paediatric Oncologist, about the challenges of working directly with children who are dying and their families. It’s based on a great paper from the Education and Practice section (ep.bmj.com/content/102/4/182) and we hope it brings to life some of the challenges we face. Conversation on this welcome!

  • Rare and exotic. Archimedes September 2018
    This month, ADC's Social Media and Archimedes Editor Bob Phillips has learned quite a lot about things he never realised he never knew about - like chelation of heavy metals for altering behaviour in people with autistic spectrum disorder (adc.bmj.com/content/early/2018/07/14/archdischild-2018-315338), and if horse beats human in the race to help infants with botulism (adc.bmj.com/content/early/2018/07/14/archdischild-2018-315498).
    Not all Archimedes questions need to be this rarified though - earaches, positron emission tomography and chloride channel activators are all just as welcome. Listen, enjoy, and share with your Grandparents just for fun.

  • Chalk stories. Archimedes August 2018
    There may be people old enough to remember chalk at school, or young enough to recall playing with massive sticks of it on the tarmac outside. That’s not relevant in this Archimedes though, as we grapple with renal stones and how to get rid of them (adc.bmj.com/content/103/8/806.1) and how much Vitamin D does a preterm need to have nicely crunchy bones (adc.bmj.com/content/103/8/808).
    Does reading that make you think “How much wood does a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”
    Anyway - enjoy and share. And send in both your Archimedes and tongue twisters for future editions.

  • How to prevent severe acquired subglottic stenosis in neonates surgical interventions
    Severe acquired subglottic stenosis is a serious consequence of intubation for mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit graduates, especially in preterm infants, concludes a case-control study discussed in this podcast. The paper adds that this serious complication may be prevented by minimising trauma during intubations, avoiding recurrent extubation/reintubations and using appropriate sized endotracheal tubes.
    Listen to the conversation between the ADC Fetal & Neonatal Associate Editor Jonathan Davis and Rebecca Thomas (Consultant neonatologist at Perth Children's Hospital, Australia) here and read the paper at: https://fn.bmj.com/content/103/4/F349.

  • Breathe. Archimedes July 2018
    After giving you all the heads-up on the process of doing an Archimedes last month, this month we address ways of improving breathing.
    First, in the emergency department - we’re asking should you use pred or dex in wheeze (https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7/707.1) and then in the neonatal intensive care unit where we’re questioning what sort of device to use to puff pressure into those teeny tiny noses? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7/709).
    We’ve got a spot of philosophy too.

  • Transgender children and adolescents: practical and evidence-based approach for paediatricians
    Considering the large increase in the number of children and adolescents who question conventional gender expectations and seek to develop a body that is congruent with their gender feelings, how can paediatricians best respond?
    Dysphoria v. dysmorphia; or diagnosis v. recognition are some of the concepts and distinctions you’ll hear about in this podcast, which is an absorbing conversation between the ADC’s Editor-in-Chief Nick Brown and Gary Butler, Professor at the University College London Hospital NHS Trust, UK.
    For more information about the topics included in this podcast, read the review on the ADC website, which will also be included in the journal’s July 2018 issue:
    “Assessment and support of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria” - http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2018/04/26/archdischild-2018-314992.
