When neonates and the unspoken collide. Archimedes February 2020

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.

Tiny numbers, tiny things, and knowing when something hasn’t changed though it looks like it has.

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 )
