Not anything like a record*, but like an obstetrician encouraging the downward trajectory of a bum-settled baby getting ready to squeeze out. Or, more medically sounding, external cephalic version for breech delivery. But, even if successful, are such babies still at greater risk of developmental hip dysplasia?

Prof. Bob Phillips, ADC's Archimedes Editor, sometimes finds things that used to be called something now are called something else. He finds things he hadn’t heard of and assumes they were something else, but they aren’t, they’re something different! This is a long way of saying - if you’ve never heard of paediatric acute focal bacterial nephritis - you should listen to this podcast a...

None of us want bad things to happen; we went into this career to reduce the number or severity of badness for babies, children and young people after all. But how to tell if our actions are leading to more adverse effects… it’s touched on in the podcast but read more here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/2/167.2)
We’re also thinking about balancing badness - the possible problems of NSAIDs alongside the problems from PPIs used try...

Honey, sweetie pie, babe … all the sorts of slushy nominative phrases that get thrown into the droning movies and teen-focussed telly programmes we probably love to watch. But honey, the bear-beloved treat, could that help with hay fever? An intrepid evidence-based gang tried to answer the question for you (https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/1/71.1)
And we also chat in this podcast about the problems of cheap boots and damp toes (indi...
When treating children with cancer and febrile neutropenia, you may ask yourself, "Are urinary cultures a waste of time?"
Prof. Bob Phillips (1) of the ADC Archimedes podcast joins ADC Spotlight host Dr. Rachel Agbeko to reflect on this question, basing their discussion on the paper, "Role of urine culture in paediatric patients with cancer with fever and neutropenia: a prospective observational study". They consider the strength o...

Proving something is safe, or that bad things don’t happen, is always hard. Really hard. And when people turn to the published literature to investigate adverse effects you have to send them much praise - like the team have done in this month's Archimedes when looking at if baclofen causes seizures (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/12/1028.1).
The other thing we often struggle with is how much we can lump stuff together in a systema...

The world advanced through the Next Great Thing. Like the C5 electric scooter, Hindenberg air ship and velocipedes. It’s always easy to see the next great thing being ignored when you look backwards in time - but what about looking forwards? Is video-assisted thoracoscopic draining of complicated infected pleural fluid really any better than a tiny plastic pipe and squirting in some fibrin muncher? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/...

In this month's Archimedes section of ADC: there are a lot of things in life that are obvious like crash barriers making roads safer, giving iprotropium for wheezy bronchiolitis or using C-reactive protein to differentiate bacterial and viral infections… oh wait … well … one out of three …
This podcast is all about how you sometimes need to state the obvious (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/10/862.2) and sometimes you need to quest...

Back to the cut and thrust of clinical neonatology for the September 2023 Archimedes, where we visit the challenge of sugar-free babies again.
