The Archimedes Podcast April 2018: prickly neonatal problems

You wanted interviews, about how to get blood from the feet of neoates? You’ve come to the right spot; this month covers this issue http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/401 and also the thorny thing about which growth chart you use - the customised one the mum has been carrying throughout pregnancy or the one you just got from the stationary file in the office http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/399.1 ? We also talk how pathology might be worthwhile. And still no singing.

The Archimedes Podcast March 2018: incongruity, zinc and guessing

This month has work from lower/middle-income countries offering to impact up care both within those resource settings, and the high-income countries that usually provide the bulk of Archi’s feeds.
There are questions about the validity of 'PCV/3' as a haemoglobin estimate: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/301 and uncertainty about if zinc should be given to children with diarrhoea on Salisbury Plain: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/297.1
