This prospective study was performed in the department of Physical Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka for a period of 6 months to see the effect of phonophoresis (Ultrasound therapy with Naproxen gel) on adhesive capsulitis. During this period 240 (4% of total patients) patients were diagnosed as adhesive capsulitis of shoulder in outpatient department, Physical Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Sixty patients were selected for the study and divided them into two groups. In group A, patients were treated with phonophoresis and exercises in contrast with group B patients who were treated with same exercises without phonophoresis for same duration. Patients in both groups were followed up weekly for consecutive six weeks. The mean age of the patients in this study was 51.73 ± 10.01 year, with a range of 35 to 70 years. Out of sixty patients 31 (51.7%) were male and 29 (48.3%) were female. The male: female ratio was 1.07: 1. Among 60 patients, 27 (45%) were housewives, 20 (33.3%) service holders (official job), 4 (6.7%) businessmen, 1 (1.7%) teacher and 8 (13.3%) retired persons. In this study 53.3% patients had right shoulder involvement and rest of them (46.7%) had left sided involvement. Pain was improved just after initiation of treatment and it was completely alleviated in group A patients after 6th week, on the contrary although pain was increased after 1st week of treatment thereafter it was gradually decreased but it was not completely alleviated in group B patients at the end of the study. All sorts of range of motions (abduction, internal rotation on abduction, external rotation on abduction) of affected shoulder were improved more rapidly in group A compared to group B patients. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) were significantly reduced in group A compared to group B patients.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i2.21057

Previous studies suggested that COVID-19 is more likely to infect older adults, particularly those with chronic comorbidities. However in Bangladesh, paediatric patients are on the rise. Three percent of children less than 10 years were identified as having COVID-19 infection. Though over 90% of the cases were mild or moderate in nature but many of them required hospital admission. So it appeared that local situation in Bangladesh seems to be different. This study was carried out to find out hospital experiences and impact of COVID-19 in child health in Bangladesh. Data were collected from three tertiary care hospitals of Bangladesh dealing majority of COVID-19 infected children. The hospitals were Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Mugda Medical College Hospital.  As COVID-19 outbreak also adversely affecting different services among the children of Bangladesh, review was done to evaluate essential health delivery services especially routine immunization. Total 422 children were included from three tertiary care hospitals. They were predominantly male. Children of all age groups were infected. Significant numbers of children were admitted with moderate to severe illness (moderate 42.89%, severe 35.78% and critical 16.11%) with some casualties (mortality 4.27%).  Routine immunization has already been hampered and threatened a significant increase in child mortality due to Vaccine Preventable Disease (VPD) in coming days. Paediatric patients were on the rise and unfortunately we noticed large number of hospital admission and some casualties already. Essential health care services should be preserved to prevent avoidable losses of child lives during the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect progress in reducing child mortality achieved over recent years.
