We want to make you think and consider in this podcast, so we’re wondering if you know if honey can be helpful after tonsillectomies - to reduce pain (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/9/845.1). And when we are wondering about that, we might already be considering the challenges in assessing subjective outcomes (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/9/845.2)… and beyond that, getting involved with your own 'Archi' [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes]

Atoms: the highlights from the ADC December 2022

The joy of Archimedes is the breadth of what it covers. For instance, have you ever considered the management of NTM lymphedenits with MAC? (That’s not a sneaky way of getting a cosmetics company to sponsor our EBM slot.) If you’ve no idea what that last but one sentence means … listen on! If you have, listen on anyway! And if you’re struggling with the bit in parentheses, then wander down to your local department store and glance around the make-up counters. The full paper can be read here [ https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/12/1131.1 ]
We would love for you to be involved and submit your very own Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - it’s more fun than tidying up the messy kitchen.

ADC Fetal and Neonatal’s Fantoms. Highlights from the January 2023 issue

Neonates are a breadth of … well… actually breathing is one of the big issues they have. Adding a squirt of finely curated surfactant we know can help them out, and LISA (less invasive surfactant administration) is probably the best at the job. But it’s pretty stressful having things splashed into your lungs, so should we be giving premedication? Listen on for a short answer, or read the full paper here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/2/141.1

We would love for you to be involved and submit your very own Archi [https://adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - and you’ll be doing the world a favour as we explain in detail too.

Lower distress or more breathing? - Archimedes February 2023

Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse can be a really disturbing event, and one where the whole team need to pull together. A trio of international neonatologists considered if therapeutic hypothermia might be an option for the baby - while we summarise in this podcast their full thoughts are seriously worth a read: https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/3/236.1

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - and your index problem can be far more mundane, and doesn’t have to be neonatal.

Atoms: the highlights from the ADC April 2023

A patient and their family will often ask the most sensible, thoughtful questions and we’ll head to the evidence to find that research doesn’t quite fit the bill. We discuss this in both the abstract ‘what’s the methodological issues here’ bit of Achimedes (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/4/323.2) and bring it to life via our case of the specialist core exercises system (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/4/323.1). Have a listen and find out more.

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes] - just ask the questions that your patients are offering you.
