  Michelle Farrar and Sharika Raga on progress and priorities for children affected by spinal muscular atrophy

  Aug 10, 202647 min

  2026 marks a remarkable decade since the regulatory approval of the very first disease-modifying therapy (nusinersin) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in 2016. In this episode with Josefine Gibson, Professor Michelle Farrar and Dr Sharika Raga from Sydney Children's Hospital share their perspectives on how diagnostic and therapeutic advances for SMA have transformed the lives of children and families affected by SMA. We discuss the new long-term efficacy and safety results from the 3-year extension of the international FIREFISH trial of risdiplam for symptomatic infants with type 1 SMA, and we explore what children in the real world who are in treatment for SMA are revealing about adaptive functioning in their daily lives. Coupled with newborn screening, disease modifying therapies are yielding significantly better longer-term outcomes for children affected by SMA, so we consider their changing and individualised health-care needs and top priorities for clinical research in the next decade.

  Boys' sexual and reproductive health and rights with Maria Lohan and Mark Tomlinson

  Jul 7, 202627 min

  Boys and young men are often missing from conversations about adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Yet, girls do not live in isolation: boys share their classrooms, relationships, communities, and futures. In this episode, Mark Tomlinson and Maria Lohan join Esther Lau to explore how to engage boys in ways that support, rather than compete with, continued investment in girls’ SRHR. Together, they discuss why boys’ own needs around consent, contraception, STIs, help-seeking, respectful relationships, and care are too often overlooked. They also consider the role of comprehensive sexuality education, parenting, gender-transformative approaches, and youth-friendly health services in challenging harmful masculinities while supporting boys and girls to develop healthier relationships, shared responsibility, and more equitable futures.

  Adolescent nutrition is at a turning point. 🌍 Dr Sara Estecha-Querol from the Global Adolescent Nutrition Network and youth advocate Milca Jane Cameseria from Act4Food join Josefine Gibson to talk about a new co-created global framework for adolescent nutrition — and why young people must be at the centre of adolescent nutrition research, policy, advocacy, and food systems change. Together, we explore the global triple burden of malnutrition, meaningful youth partnership, sustainable food systems, and the urgent need for coordinated action to improve adolescent health and wellbeing worldwide. 🎧 Tune in for a conversation on global health, nutrition equity, youth leadership, and the future of adolescent nutrition.

  Ulrikka Nygaard and Nadja Vissing on antibiotic treatment in children with high-risk febrile neutropenia

  May 11, 202623 min

  This episode considers how antibiotic use can be safely reduced in children in high-risk scenarios or with severe infections. To discuss this we are joined by Dr Nadja Vissing and Dr Ulrikka Nygaard, paediatric infectious disease specialists from Copenhagen University Hospital, who led a randomized controlled trial in Denmark evaluating the early discontinuation of empirical antibiotics versus extended treatment in children with cancer and high-risk febrile neutropenia. We hear about the importance of this trial for children with cancer and their families as well as for broader antimicrobial stewardship. We discuss other recent RCTs that are informing safely reducing antibiotic exposure in children with urinary tract infections, uncomplicated bone and joint infections and probable early onset neonatal sepsis. Nadja and Ulrikka share with listeners their take home messages related to antibiotic decision-making from these trials along with words of wisdom and motivation for other paediatric clinical trialists.

  Maria-Belén Tarrafeta-Sayas and Hazel M Gutiérrez on children’s access to controlled medicines

  Apr 13, 202627 min

  Controlled medicines are essential in paediatric care yet children everywhere—and especially in low- and middle-income countries—face challenges in accessing controlled medicines for their medical needs and to alleviate serious health-related suffering. In this episode, Belén Tarrafeta and Hazel Gutiérrez join Josefine Gibson to discuss misconceptions that have led to children’s access being overlooked in research and policy efforts. Together, they highlight the imperative of generating child-specific evidence on access, safety, and use, and they explore what it will take to move from global resolutions to real change for children's equitable access to controlled medicines.
