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...

The joy of Archimedes is the breadth of what it covers. For instance, have you ever considered the management of NTM lymphedenits with MAC?

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 [ ht...

We are faced in paediatrics with some very, very difficult situations. Where our humanity and medical training come to the fore - in working with families dealing with the cliff edge of their child’s mortality - is where we need to put the same emotional and intellectual effort we would want if the tables were turned.
