Background: Aloe vera has been used traditionally for healing burn and inflammation. Though, the evidence for the effectiveness of aloe vera for healing burn is not sufficient. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of aloe vera gel in management of superficial burn in children. Methods: This retrospective study was taken place in the Department of Burn and Reconstructive Surgery, Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka and other two privet clinics at Dhaka, from September, 2019 to March, 2022. Total 47 patients with superficial partial thickness burn was included in the study. Results: In this study, majority (48.94%) patients were belonged to the age group of £24 months. The mean age was found 38.9±26.31 months. The current study observed that almost two third (61.70%) patients were male. In our study, majority (63.83%) patients stayed hospital for 1-5 days. In the present study, mean (±SD) pain relief time was 3.56±1.24 days and mean (±SD) wound healing time was found 8.19±1.6 days. The current study observed that only 3(6.38%) patients had found wound infection. In current study showed that mean treatment cost was found 76.46±31.88 Taka. Conclusion: Aloe vera gel facilitated early pain alleviation, wound healing, and costeffective superficial burn treatment in children. Therefore, it can be utilized to treat superficial burns in children to get better results. DS (Child) H J 2021; 38(1): 39-43

Introduction: DDH is the most common congenital anomaly of the musculoskeletal system in newborns. The disease ranges from a simple flattening of the acetabular cavity to the complete dislocation of the femoral head. Most developed countries report an incidence of 1.5 to 20 cases of DDH per 1000 births, depending in part on the methods of screening used. It includes a wide spectrum of hip alterations: neonatal instability; acetabular dysplasia; hip subluxation; and true dislocation of the hip. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of the Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH) in children. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January2018 to December 2021. Result: In total 54 neonates completed the study. In our study we found majority (53.70%) of children were aged less than 4 months old. Followed by 25.93% & 20.37% were aged 1-2 months & 3-4 months respectively. Majority of neonates were girls (61.11%) compared to boys (38.89%). The highest risk factors of DDH was breech presentation (19%).We found that majority of neonates (70.37%) had dysplasia on left side and 7.41% had dysplasia on right side respectively. The prevalence of bilateral condition was 12(22.22%). Conclusion: DDH a common congenital anomaly that can be successfully treated non-operatively if detected early. For older individuals with dislocated or unstable hips, surgery is necessary. Surgery's function in treating acetabular dysplasia in children is changing and largely determined by symptoms. Expanding therapy choices for DDH and improved anatomical patient assessment skills among doctors will result in the proper intervention at the right time.
