This month brings big decisions and how to make them in our critical appraisal note (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.2) and this flows seamlessly into the questions too... almost like there’s some planning involved. We’re asking if prenatal echo can tell us who will need emergency atrial septostomies to make birth as safe to home as close to home a reality (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.1.abstract), and if apparently asymptomatic babies and children with malrotation really need and operation to untwirl their guts (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1116).
If these get you excited to write your own story, head on over to the instructions to authors and find out how https://adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes

What if children could vote earlier? And before that, could they make themselves heard by entrusting their parents with their vote? Professor Neena Modi (Imperial College London, UK) says ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. Listen to the thought-provoking conversation with ADC’s Senior Editor Rachel Agbeko. The two paediatricians discuss the evidence behind these proposals and the role of doctors in the process of giving children a voice.

You’ll I’m sure be wondering about how much you can extrapolate from the adult data into the kids, and this short appraisal note on our blog might help you https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2019/08/22/neonates-are-not-tiny-children/
Bearing that in mind, the use of coffee to keep bronchi-babes out of the ICU will be of great interest to the student of EBM. So … you can swig in the summary we have here on how good it seems to be: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/07/20/archdischild-2019-317668

Last month we asked about newborn baby checks being enhanced with pulse oximetry - this month we’re asking “What should you do with a sacral dimple?” (The answer is not “Throw it in the brig until it’s sober”). The answer - in terms of ultrasounding or not - can be found here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/8/816.1).
You might also be wondering about the mineralisation of your jejunally fed kids too… I know I’ve spent many minutes wondering about how to spell that .. and if copper really is a trace element of importance beyond it’s pretty rusting. This knowledge thirst too can be slaked - here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/8/817)
And if that’s not enough, we chat about the sometimes tricky issue of balancing the benefits against the harms of an intervention (or test, or measurement), which involves maths, but only those we teach to primary school children (https://adc.bmj.com/node/208810)
If you do want to know other things, and we’ve not covered them, why just write your own Archi and submit it to us?
