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.

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. https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7#Archimedes

The ambition to halve the number of deaths and brain injuries related to births by 2030 was announced by the Department of Health in England, in 2015. The study discussed in this podcast presents a pragmatic case definition and annual incidence rates from data held in the National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD). Chris Gale (Section of Neonatal Medicine, Imperial College London, UK), tells ADC Fetal & Neonatal Associate Editor Jonathan Davis how his team is working with the NHS on the ambition of making England "the safest place in the world to have a baby". Read the study here: fn.bmj.com/content/early/2017/10/22/archdischild-2017-313707.

Listen up folks! In the spirit of carefree nuns and clean mountain air, Archimedes has had a burst of newness. This month, we talk to Alisha Burnham, published Archi Author, about the process of doing an Archimedes and how you too can get started.

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.

(Well stop thinking about it now; listen up to find out why you can save yourself the hassle of giving them - http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/5/519.) There may even be singing.

What’s the safety and tolerability of the new enriched synthetic surfactant CHF5633?

You wanted interviews, about how to get blood from the feet of neoates? You’ve come to the right spot; this month covers this issue http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/401 and also the thorny thing about which growth chart you use - the customised one the mum has been carrying throughout pregnancy or the one you just got from the stationary file in the office http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/399.1 ? We also talk how pathology might be worthwhile. And still no singing. Read the Archimedes for April 2018 here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4#Archimedes

This month has work from lower/middle-income countries offering to impact up care both within those resource settings, and the high-income countries that usually provide the bulk of Archi’s feeds. There are questions about the validity of 'PCV/3' as a haemoglobin estimate: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/301 and uncertainty about if zinc should be given to children with diarrhoea on Salisbury Plain: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/297.1 We also have the horror of spelling tests rearing their head. And no singing. More on the ADC’s February 2018 Archimedes here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/297.2
