Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians. Today, with a bonus interview with Mr Josh Totty, NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery: We're thinking about balancing acts in our wonderings about how to do evidence-based practice this month [https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/2/170.2]. That balances some deeply thoughtful writing about what genetic tests do in children with unexplained early developmental impairment - while you can get the faintest hints of the question in our podcast, you'd be well advised to read the thoughtful paper to really understand the answers [ https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/2/170.1] We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes].

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians. Today, with a bonus interview with Mr Josh Totty, NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery: Prep for an LP, stat! We previously talked in an Archimedes about the really low chance of meningitis in UTI in infants [https://adc.bmj.com/content/96/6/602.2] but what about those infants with actual bacteraemia and a UTI - are they the group at higher risk who need invasive investigation? Listen on or read here to find out https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.1  You'll be glad to hear that the PICO is taken to task as well this month too https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.2  We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes].

It's tricky to do balancing sometimes, and while you might not immediately think of it, a door can sometimes open your way to a new way of considering stuff as we talk about, but you can read about too: https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/12/1036.2 Then there's something we often do think about. And struggle with. How do we know how long terms meds might affect people in the long term? What about melatonin for severe sleep disturbance?

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians. Today, with a bonus interview with Mr Josh Totty, NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery: It might come as a surprise to those who aren't surgeons, but we have (quite excellent) interview proof of how a clinical question with solidly debatable options led to a trainee-led clinical trial in plastic surgery and onwards to a more straightforward approach to fixing nail-bed injuries. You can read more about it here - https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/11/954.1  We also talk - less interestingly - about the way that sometimes phrases which suggest expertise don't always mean the same in clinical practice guidelines -  https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/11/954.2   We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes].

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians:  Fairly frequently we who are sub-, or sub-sub- specialised will look at some research which we don't want to agree with and say “But it doesn't apply to My Special Darlings!”. And most of the time we're wrong - after all, children who present with the same condition often have the same condition, regardless of what else they're having going on at the same time. Sometimes there might be a feature which meaningfully alter disease trajectory in respect of the new illness though, and we need to ask: “Are my darlings different?”. That query is investigated this month https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/10/861.1  We also ask the questions “When should we stop?”, and “How should we decide?” - https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/10/861.2 We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes].

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians:  We all know opiates can constipate folks very badly. Some of us from personal experience. We know hospitalisation, not eating well, and not moving much make it worse. And we all should recognise the significant drop in quality of life that comes with severe constipation. There's been an explosion of treatments for grown/ups in this realm - so could we be using the PAMORA drugs for kids  [read more at https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/9/767.1] and how different are kids than adults anyway?

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians:  We've all been in this situation (apart from perhaps some intensivists), any of us in the “I don't want to cannulate them again!” park when dealing with little folks who probably need antibiotics, but do they really need IV? And this tension is greater when it's a neonate, or an immunocompromised kiddo. We've got some good news in this pod, about the babies at least, and you can read more here https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/8/681.1  You can also find out how the word estimand isn't a typo and why PICO+ rules - https://adc.bmj.com/node/230129  We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes].

Let's make it magical from the beginning, and offer the value of point-of-care ultrasounds for placing umbilical venous catheters.

It's an interview podcast this month, where we talk with the author of “Supporting parents of children born with differences in sex development” [https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/5/438.1]: a paper you need to read in the May issue of ADC and a chat you need to listen to. We also discuss how differential diagnosis can be evidence-based, and how that might be useful in your practice [https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/5/438.2]. Hopefully you'll go away thinking “OOOOOO!

Not anything like a record*, but like an obstetrician encouraging the downward trajectory of a bum-settled baby getting ready to squeeze out.

Prof. Bob Phillips, ADC's Archimedes Editor, sometimes finds things that used to be called something now are called something else. He finds things he hadn't heard of and assumes they were something else, but they aren't, they're something different! This is a long way of saying - if you've never heard of paediatric acute focal bacterial nephritis - you should listen to this podcast and have a read [https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/3/248.1].   You might also want to think about how the way a topic is introduced makes you understand it differently… and learn more about the joy of framing [https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/3/248.2].

None of us want bad things to happen; we went into this career to reduce the number or severity of badness for babies, children and young people after all. But how to tell if our actions are leading to more adverse effects… it's touched on in the podcast but read more here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/2/167.2) We're also thinking about balancing badness - the possible problems of NSAIDs alongside the problems from PPIs used trying to prevent them.

Honey, sweetie pie, babe … all the sorts of slushy nominative phrases that get thrown into the droning movies and teen-focussed telly programmes we probably love to watch.

When treating children with cancer and febrile neutropenia, you may ask yourself, "Are urinary cultures a waste of time?" Prof. Bob Phillips (1) of the ADC Archimedes podcast joins ADC Spotlight host Dr. Rachel Agbeko to reflect on this question, basing their discussion on the paper, "Role of urine culture in paediatric patients with cancer with fever and neutropenia: a prospective observational study". They consider the strength of evidence for urine culture testing in such cases, and whether there is an opportunity to reduce the burden on young cancer patients and their families. Read the paper: https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/12/982 (1) Department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Leeds, UK The ADC Spotlight podcast is the Archives of Disease in Childhood podcast covering areas that don't usually get much attention or might be taken for granted in children's health.

Proving something is safe, or that bad things don't happen, is always hard. Really hard. And when people turn to the published literature to investigate adverse effects you have to send them much praise - like the team have done in this month's Archimedes when looking at if baclofen causes seizures (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/12/1028.1). The other thing we often struggle with is how much we can lump stuff together in a systematic review (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/12/1028.2). So we chat about that. If you're comparing fruit salad with potato salad, it's probably fine to have apples and oranges (and banana and kiwi) in the same bowl. If you're looking to see which apple to bake in a pie, you don't want your crab apples in with your pippins and Granny Smiths. Baking tips can be found in this podcast too, it transpires.  We would love for you to be involved in Archi (https://adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes) - just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you're finding the podcast offerings.

The world advanced through the Next Great Thing. Like the C5 electric scooter, Hindenberg air ship and velocipedes. It's always easy to see the next great thing being ignored when you look backwards in time - but what about looking forwards? Is video-assisted thoracoscopic draining of complicated infected pleural fluid really any better than a tiny plastic pipe and squirting in some fibrin muncher? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/11/940.1) We chat about that, and your commoner medical devices (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/11/940.2) on this month's podcast.
