ADC podcast

All over the world, tonight, you can hear the sound of babies being examined for covert abnormalities. One of those tests would be the click-hip-thing, one pulse oximetry. Can we make pulse oximetry better though - well here’s an Archi that asks just that (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/5/504). More babies could be found in those very special fish tanks with portholes - popping them out of those and into cots would be nicer for the families but maybe harder for the smallest children to grow and stay stable in temperature. The question you’re asking is clearly ‘but is 1.6kg big enough?’ … (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/7/707.1) To start with we question the value of knowing things (https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2019/04/25/look-away-now-if-you-dont-want-to-know-the-results/) but if you do want to know things, and we’ve not covered them, why not have a crack at your own Archi and submit it to us?

Welcome to the new ADC Spotlight podcast! We'll be covering areas that don’t usually get much attention or might be taken for granted with the goal of promoting dialogue. In this first podcast, Rachel Agbeko, Associate Editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood, is joined by Jennifer Preston, Senior Patient and Public Involvement Manager at the University of Liverpool, Hugh Davies, Paediatrician and Research Ethics Advisor at the Health Research Authority and Bob Phillips, Paediatric Oncologist and Social Media and Archimedes Editor for ADC. They are the authors of four papers about research with children, which are part of a series being published between April and July 2019 by ADC (https://adc.bmj.com/): - In the April issue the Leading article ’Research beyond the hospital walls’ and the review ‘Making research central to good paediatric practice’. - In May the review ‘How to involve children and young people (CYP) in what is, after all, their research’. - In June the review ‘A framework to help design and review research involving children’. - In July the review ‘How to navigate the ethical review of research’.

The application of the best available evidence sometimes leaves you deciding which systematic review of RCTs is the best, and sometimes scrabbling in the tattered remnants of case reports. This podcast takes you across that spectrum from thinking about zinc supplementation for pneumonia in western Europe (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/605.1) to the removal of a VP shunt in a child with appendicitis (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/607 )… who also have a VP shunt, obviously. And we reference Baby Shark and LazyTown too (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/6/605.2). Why not have a listen, wonder at the marvellousness of medicine, and give us your thoughts via the website or Twitter?

Sometimes there are days where you wish you’d not done something, and for many of us, those will be the days after drinking on an evening/night/early-morning out. (And for those who live in Oxford; it’s NEVER the kebab van. It’s the beer.) But there are gems of wisdom to be found by those who observe the socially unfettered antics, as you’ll hear if you listen in. You’ll also get to learn about how best to manage an asymptomatic twin if their sib is admitted with group B strep disease, [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/4/401.1] or if a baby with a simple pneumothorax can be cured with more oxygen than usual [https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/4/405] Why not have a listen, ponder your drinking habits, and give us your thoughts via the website or Twitter?
