  • Antibiotic therapy for pneumonia
    Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a force to reckon with, as it accounts for 1.1 million of all deaths in children less than 5 years of age globally, with disproportionately higher mortality occurring in the low and middle income-countries (LMICs) of Southeast Asia and Africa.
    Existing strategies to curb pneumonia-related morbidity and mortality have not effectively translated into meaningful control of pneumonia-related burden.
    A recent systematic review in ADC looks at trials conducted in LMICs to determine the most suitable antibiotic therapy for treating pneumonia (very severe, severe and non-severe). ADC global health commissioning editor Nick Brown talks to one of the authors, Rehana Salam, Division of Women and Child Health, The Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan, to hear what they found.

    Summer might be here, and the time might be right for dancing in the streets, but for the dedicated follower of EBM, there's only one thing to listen to.
    This month's Archimedes podcast covers a rant about journal clubs, using subcutaneous fluids in children and the treatment of congenital CMV infection. The papers can be found here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/99/8.toc

  • July 2014's Archimedes podcast
    In this month's Archimedes update, Dr Bob Phillips wonders about when to
    act, when to stop acting, and when to do nothing at all - in the context
    of diagnostic testing - and summarises two Archimedes reports; one on
    whether or not to apply splints to neonates you've cannulated, the other
    on the need for septic screens in neonates with soft tissue infections.
    The full papers can be found here:

  • Aetiology and management of malnutrition in HIV-positive children
    Managing even uncomplicated HIV infection is a major undertaking. When compounded by nutritional compromise, as it so often is, it becomes many times more complex. When the two co-exist, mortality rises exponentially so awareness, prevention, early identification and aggressive management are essential.
    In this podcast, ADC's global health editor Nick Brown talks to Anna Rose, UCL, about her recent paper which examines both the HIV/ malnutrition relationship and the multiple spokes, social and medical required to tackle this global problem.

  • Global child health: Screening and interventions for children with disabilities
    Research understanding the lives of children with disabilities in low-income and middle-income countries has predominantly focused on prevalence studies with little progress on evidence-based service development. At the same time, global attention in child health has shifted from child survival strategies to those that bring child survival and development together.
    Aisha Yousafzai, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan, has led a review in May's ADC which examines whether intervention research can be better aligned with current theoretical constructs of disability and international guidelines that advocate for the realisation of rights for children with disabilities and inclusive early childhood development.
    ADC global health editor Nick Brown asks her about the conclusions.
