It’s the height of summer in the UK and, of course, this makes our thoughts turn to concussion, slipped upper femoral epiphyses and proxy outcomes. (Well, to be honest, I’m not sure it really does... but if you do play out more maybe concussion is more likely and certainly some orthopaedic things are?) SUFE is something we do occasionally see and want to prevent really long term consequences. If one side has slipped though, should the surgical team go in and pin the other in place? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/7/715.1) And of course one of the issues with this sort of thing is that the outcomes we really want to see many be many, many years away. Can we use an ‘early warning’, surrogate or proxy for that outcome? And do you know what that even means? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/7/715.2) If people, rather than UFEs, slip, then banging heads and getting concussions are not uncommon. Rugby league has introduced a system of head injury assessment to improve the safety of players after such events. But should those young contenders in Academy sides, like other teens, stay away from media screens to reduce the chance of problems after? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/7/720) All these questions are addressed, if not answered, this month. And you can throw your own Q&A into the ring too - submit an Archimedes by following our instructions and have fun (in the sun, but with a hat and lots of sunscreen on).

Atoms: the highlights from the ADC July 2021

Have you been faced with a vomiting child in the ED and wanted to make it stop? (Not the ED shift .. well maybe .. but vomiting?) This is the month for you. Our first question asks if we can give dex not pred for asthma attacks (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/509), which is a bit easier as a single shot, and bit less puke-making, but is it as good against asthma? The second asks if we can safely give ondansetron to kids who have bumped their heads (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/507.1) without masking significant problems … well … we’ll leave you to read or listen to find the answer to that. Something else that frequently makes folks feel sick is searching multiple electronic databases, so we’ve a few tips to avoid that sensation too. Non-pharmacological this time (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/5/507.2). Can this be the month when the plethora of ED stuff makes you want to submit an Archimedes about something too? From a hidden corner, where adoption, hepatology, neonates or renal medicine reigns? Do it. Follow our instructions and have fun.

Atoms: the highlights from the ADC June 2021

Do you always keep your phone on the latest OS? Do you tend to play the alpha releases? Have you only just moved to streaming TV services? Where do you sit on the curve of innovation adoption in medical practice? We chat about this (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/401.2) before launching into a discussion of how single parents fare compared to couples in the world of child adoption (read more here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/401.1). We stay off the track of medicinal products and devices with a report on the best ways to deal with heatstroke… Summer might come at some point… in our second report (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/4/405). What we don’t have is a large social media outcry over the lack of music, song and dance in the podcast, but maybe this is the month it starts, or maybe it’s the month when you too submit an Archimedes about something that caught your paediatric eye?

Atoms: the highlights from the ADC May 2021

When was the last time you had a twinge in your navicular? Did you know you could develop an eponymous osteochondrosis? And if a child did go and do that - what should you do about it? (Yes. This is a non-stop tease. You’ll have to listen or read here https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/303 to find out more.) Now that almost seamlessness leads into our leader - how do you know what you don’t know - and how to keep abreast of the width of your ignorance (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/301.2) and raises two questions in neonatal seizures: 1. Should you use phenobarbitone or levetiracetam to stop fits, and 2. How do you pronounce levetiracetam?(https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/3/301.1) Do use the opportunity of not knowing to be delighted in the opportunity to learn more, and maybe even submit an Archimedes about it.

Archimedes March 2021. Singing drugs, Germanic orthopaedics, and not knowing what you didn’t know

Are we reliable, as a podcast and a source of information? What does that word even mean? Well we delve a little deeper into that in this edition (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/195.2) We also ask the question about what degree of weight loss for a healthy newborn really IS normal (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/195.1) and while it’s fascinating, I’d advise using this knowledge wisely and approaching guideline writers rather than your midwifery colleagues with your newfound limits of Normal. Our other question swings into the sicker end of babies, and for those who’ve limited recent intubation experience is massively relevant as it’s focussed on using laryngeal mask airways (https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/197). Have fun listening to us, and do let us know what you think.
