Extracting urine has been the subject of Archimedes in the past, but this month wee (geddit?) have questions relating to when you’ve found a UTI. Could you treat a wee one with oral rather than IV antibiotics? (Full answer here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/11/1135.1) Should you make all the little ones with UTI to bend around and take a few mls of CSF from them? (Read on … https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/11/1138). Good questions - and more are possible too - keep sending them. We also consider how things can be subject to our alternative ways of thinking about new and old things, and that, for almost everything to be honest, there’s not a level playing field. And we could do with understanding and working on that (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/11/1135.2). Enjoy, feedback, and submit (following the instructions on the website though. No one wants to waste time and have to go back and rewrite things over and over again do they?).

Have you ever had a question you thought … “OOOO! That’s an Archimedes in waiting that is!”. Well, join in the footsteps of those who have climbed the craggy path through submission, review, Editorial Board and onwards to the sunny pastures of ‘Online First’ and eventually the Paper Journal (where, like one of our colleagues, your Gran can try and order one from the newsagents because she’s so proud of you). The Grannies being delighted this month will be able to learn all about if their migrainous adolescent grandchildren will benefit from magnesium to reduce their headache frequency of severity (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/10/1027), and far from benign taught to suck eggs they may have their perception of weaning foods challenged when it comes to egg introduction to the diet of four month olds (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/10/1024.1). Their wisdom will be already full of the knowledge that just because something’s always been this way doesn’t make it right, but they may like to hear about how we thin

Have you ever wanted to get your Archimedes answer to a clinical question into our journal and onto this podcast? Did you worry that because it was about a strange device for making balloons blow up by using your nose that we’d laugh it out of the park? Well - you need not have worried - but it’s already been done (see https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/9/923.1). Same with uncertainties about single-dose old-fashioned UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvul transferase disruptors (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/9/925). I’ll leave this as a tease for you to have to listen to find out which antibiotic is being explored here. We cover some thoughts on using older or re-focussed therapies too (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/9/923.2). SO - don’t hold back from your clinical question dream - crack on and submit, following our instructions to authors after you’ve spotted a great question even if it has an old (but interesting) answer.

This podcast is a roundtable discussion of recent papers on Laryngeal mask use in neonates. ADC Editor Jonathan Davis (NICU Perth Children's Hospital) interviews Charles Rohr (Southmead Hopsital, Bristol, England; Newborn Services, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK), Calum Roberts (Monash Hospital, Melbourne, Australia), and Joyce O'shea (Royal Hospital for Children Glasgow, Scotland) Related articles from ADC Fetal and Neonatal edition: https://fn.bmj.com/content/early/2021/04/21/archdischild-2020-319398 https://fn.bmj.com/content/106/3/342 https://fn.bmj.com/content/106/3/336 Other papers mentioned in this podcast: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2005333 https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=380574&isReview=true

The deliciousness of a fresh home-grown strawberry is tricky to top, isn’t it? And the sense of disappointment when you realise a slug has felt the same way about it? This glimpse into my gastronomic preferences also relates to a critical appraisal note from this month (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/821.2) It’s shockingly relevant to one of the articles too - a belief changer perhaps - about ultrasound screening in Beckwith-Weiderman syndrome (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/824). The other might make you wish hard for tomorrow when the sun is shining over your resuscitation dolly [HT to all the musical theatre kids there] and how often we need to learn how to bounce up and down and sing about elephants (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/8/821.1). You too can have months of hard work summarised in a few minutes by someone with a sketchy understanding if you submit an Archimedes by following our instructions to authors after you’ve spotted a great question that needs an answer.

It’s the height of summer in the UK and, of course, this makes our thoughts turn to concussion, slipped upper femoral epiphyses and proxy outcomes. (Well, to be honest, I’m not sure it really does... but if you do play out more maybe concussion is more likely and certainly some orthopaedic things are?) SUFE is something we do occasionally see and want to prevent really long term consequences. If one side has slipped though, should the surgical team go in and pin the other in place? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/7/715.1) And of course one of the issues with this sort of thing is that the outcomes we really want to see many be many, many years away. Can we use an ‘early warning’, surrogate or proxy for that outcome? And do you know what that even means? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/7/715.2) If people, rather than UFEs, slip, then banging heads and getting concussions are not uncommon. Rugby league has introduced a system of head injury assessment to improve the safety of players after such events. But sh

Have you been faced with a vomiting child in the ED and wanted to make it stop? (Not the ED shift .. well maybe .. but vomiting?) This is the month for you. Our first question asks if we can give dex not pred for asthma attacks (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/509), which is a bit easier as a single shot, and bit less puke-making, but is it as good against asthma? The second asks if we can safely give ondansetron to kids who have bumped their heads (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/507.1) without masking significant problems … well … we’ll leave you to read or listen to find the answer to that. Something else that frequently makes folks feel sick is searching multiple electronic databases, so we’ve a few tips to avoid that sensation too. Non-pharmacological this time (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/507.2). Can this be the month when the plethora of ED stuff makes you want to submit an Archimedes about something too? From a hidden corner, where adoption, hepatology, neonates or renal medicine reigns? Do

Do you always keep your phone on the latest OS? Do you tend to play the alpha releases? Have you only just moved to streaming TV services? Where do you sit on the curve of innovation adoption in medical practice? We chat about this (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/401.2) before launching into a discussion of how single parents fare compared to couples in the world of child adoption (read more here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/401.1). We stay off the track of medicinal products and devices with a report on the best ways to deal with heatstroke… Summer might come at some point… in our second report (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/405). What we don’t have is a large social media outcry over the lack of music, song and dance in the podcast, but maybe this is the month it starts, or maybe it’s the month when you too submit an Archimedes about something that caught your paediatric eye?

When was the last time you had a twinge in your navicular? Did you know you could develop an eponymous osteochondrosis? And if a child did go and do that - what should you do about it? (Yes. This is a non-stop tease. You’ll have to listen or read here https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/303 to find out more.) Now that almost seamlessness leads into our leader - how do you know what you don’t know - and how to keep abreast of the width of your ignorance (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/301.2) and raises two questions in neonatal seizures: 1. Should you use phenobarbitone or levetiracetam to stop fits, and 2. How do you pronounce levetiracetam?(https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/301.1) Do use the opportunity of not knowing to be delighted in the opportunity to learn more, and maybe even submit an Archimedes about it.

Are we reliable, as a podcast and a source of information? What does that word even mean? Well we delve a little deeper into that in this edition (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/195.2) We also ask the question about what degree of weight loss for a healthy newborn really IS normal (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/195.1) and while it’s fascinating, I’d advise using this knowledge wisely and approaching guideline writers rather than your midwifery colleagues with your newfound limits of Normal. Our other question swings into the sicker end of babies, and for those who’ve limited recent intubation experience is massively relevant as it’s focussed on using laryngeal mask airways (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/197). Have fun listening to us, and do let us know what you think.
