Back to the cut and thrust of clinical neonatology for the September 2023 Archimedes, where we visit the challenge of sugar-free babies again. How do you move forward with uncertainty about the adverse effects of medicines but significant problems with the adverse effects of disease processes? [doi 10.1136/archdischild-2023-325726]

We also flicker our minds back to the Olden Days, when analysers were simpler and viral PCRs were Special And Rare. And where Jones criteria were more in evidence than circulating IL23 levels. We ask - how does time change things? [doi 10.1136/archdischild-2023-326113]

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you’re fidning the podcast offerings.
