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) We want to know how you’re thinking about evidence based practice too - let us know or send us your Archi!

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) We want to know how you’re thinking about evidence-based practice too - let us know or send us your Archi! As with last month we would like to thank you: stay home. Go To Work. Save Lives.

It’s a difficult world to live in, and our powers of communication are probably at their most needed right now. We discuss how to be clear about evidence based decision making ( https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2020/03/19/in-pandemics-clear-thinking-and-explanations-matter-even-more/) and the presence of families in resuscitation (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/11/28/archdischild-2019-318314 ). We’re also addressing a thorny and difficult issue of inhaled budesonide in reducing chronic lung disease, but not increasing mortality.

The rationale for mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid is discussed in this ADC Spotlight podcast. Senior editor of ADC Rachel Agbeko talks to Nicholas Wald and Joan Morris, both from the Population Health Research Institute, St George’s, University of London, about their recent paper which is a response to the 2019 UK Government’s public consultation on the folic acid fortification of flour and grains.

Well, that’s the issue we’ve addressed in our methods chat this month (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/3/304.2) We’ve also looked at what used to be the things that sprang to mind with breathing difficulties; bronchiolitis and asthma. For bronchs - what dose of high flow oxygen (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/3/304.1)? For asthma - could macrolides save the day (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/3/306)?

The delight we all have in neonates spills over this issue, where we tackle the thorny issues of QTc prolongation with domperidone (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/202) and how best to manage the concerns of a midwife over an raised cord blood lactate (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/200.1). Sadly, how to remember how to calculate QTc or work in a constructive interprofessional manner aren’t all cleared up. We also consider what isn’t being said when people write (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/200.2) with a focus on clinical research reports.

Later than usual, this is the podcast about the Archimedes of the December 2019 issue. Children seem to throw up because they are poorly, or because they are excited, or because they are hot, or because they had too many fizzy sweeties, or because they know you’ve just had the car cleaned. So how do we manage a child who’s had a little head bump and has thrown up once? Find out in this podcast (and read more here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1231) You can also discover if slow and steady is better than quick and often, at least when it comes to vancomycin dosing and tiny people (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1229.1 ). The answer’s obvious, of course, but .. well. Both could ‘obviously’ be correct, couldn’t they? And we also talk about how to know if two things which seems to have changed are really the same from a different viewpoint, sort of. Well, it’s a tricky idea but one which is worth getting to understand (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/12/1229.2 ) When you’ve listened, please comment, and
