    One of the common reasons to get an Archi out of your brain and onto the page appears to be a recurrent clinical ‘itch’ … where a topic keeps coming back and having good arguments for and against it … a bit like keeping babies on CPAP to reduce their energy expenditure so they can grow bigger …...

  7. Stopping and moving. Archimedes May 2026

    Doing stuff is easy, not doing stuff is hard, particularly if you’ve been doing it for a year.

  10. Really hard questions: trials, real-world evidence, and patient values. Archimedes April 2026

  14. Ancient and modern in evidence-based medicine. Archimedes February 2026

    We’re absolutely committed to being the most awkward section of the Archives of Disease in Childhood, and this month we’re managing it with not only having a gender-indeterminate ‘voice’ in this section and anthropomorphising a chunk of journal, but by leaping forward and backward in time.
