Archimedes seeks to assist practising clinicians by providing "evidence-based" answers to common questions that are not at the forefront of research but are at the core of practice (format adapted from BestBets published in the Emergency Medicine Journal). A full description of the format is available online at http://adc.bmj.com/cgi/collection/archimedes.

If your question still hasn’t been answered, feel free to submit your summary according to the Instructions for Authors at http://adc.bmj.com/ifora/archimedes.dtl.
