I’m fairly sure we are all a bit exhausted by this pandemic. It’s not been nice. There have been changes which we all wonder about, trying to find silver linings, feeling awkward .. and which we muse on in this podcast (and here https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2020/06/24/learnable-moments/ )

The meat of this month’s Archi is two issues which may make us uncomfortable as paediatricians too; how effective are non-standard therapies for tension headache (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2020/06/19/archdischild-2020-319303) and in addition to intensive psychological support and food, should we be offering exogenous oestrogens for bone health in teenage girls with anorexia? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2020/06/09/archdischild-2019-318571)

We want to know how you’re thinking about evidence based practice too - what makes you feel uncomfortable enough to get to the library and look for the evidence - let us know or send us your Archi! Kids need evidence too.

You might be able to hear the tinkle of a tiny bell and the purr of a kitten on this month’s offerting, while you’re considering whywe have fewer trials of the ‘normal’ than we do of the extraordinary (https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2020/05/20/questioning-the-minutiae/) and then be impressed by those who have tried to see if nasal lignocaine helps kids when they’re having an NG passed ( https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2020/06/03/archdischild-2020-319197 ). You might also wonder if you’re about to request a CXR for a kid whose well and just had their chest drain taken out if you could save them, yourself, and the radiology team a lot of hassle by reading this one (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2020/05/31/archdischild-2020-318814)

With the explosion of the pre-print and the idol of peer review returning, we keep needing to think carefully about an evidence-based approach to our practice (https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2020/04/25/the-problems-and-power-of-peer-review/) and follow the lead of those considering the use of laryngeal mask airways rather than proper tubes for neonates (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/6/601.1) and also those brave souls who consider sending families home with skin decontamination regimens to reduce staph skin infections (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/6/603)
