Archimedes November 2021: Mostly wee

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?).

Archimedes October 2021: Metal heads, egg building and ship steering

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 think momentum and inertia apply in medicine too (and here’s the ship-related podcast that’s mentioned: https://timharford.com/2019/11/cautionary-tales-ep-1-danger-rocks-ahead/)

Archimedes: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvul transferase disruptors, party blowouts and antiques

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.

Archimedes August 2021. Strawberries, The Wrong Methylation and Monthly Mannequins

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.
