Collagen is the main structural protein of most hard and soft tissues in animals and the human body, which plays an important role in maintaining the biological and structural integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and provides physical support to tissues. Collagen can be extracted and purified from a variety of sources and offers low immunogenicity, a porous structure, good permeability, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Collagen scaffolds have been widely used in tissue engineering due to these excellent properties. However, the poor mechanical property of collagen scaffolds limits their applications to some extent. To overcome this short coming, collagen scaffolds can be cross-linked by chemical or physical methods or modified with natural/synthetic polymers or inorganic materials. Biochemical factors can also be introduced to the scaffold to further improve its biological activity. Here we present the use of scaffold in the management of paediatric thermal injury.

Background: Behavioural habits develops from adult through imitation where as other as purposeful movements. Where children cannot adjust to complex environment around them, they are unable to grow in the socially acceptable way resulting in the exhibition of particular behaviour and this is known as behavioural problems. Objective: (1) To assess knowledge regarding behavioural problems among mother of preschool children in selected rural areas. (2) To associate the knowledge score with their selected demographic variable. Methodology: Quantitative Descriptive research design was selected to conduct study. 60 mothers of preschool children were selected as samples based on exclusion and inclusion criteria through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Result: The 91.7% of mothers of preschool children had poor level of knowledge score, 8.3% of mothers of preschool children had average level of knowledge score. No mother of preschool children had a good or very good level of knowledge score. The result also reveals that the mean is 3.61 and standard deviation 1.29. Analysis also reveals that there is no association of knowledge score with age, education, occupation, religion, monthly family income, number of children, type of family and source of information. Conclusion: Thus, it was concluded that, majority of mothers of preschool children have a poor knowledge score regarding behavioural problems of children, hence it is suggested that the interventional studies can be conducted in future to raise the knowledge of mothers regarding behavioural problems of preschool children.

Introduction: The pandemic COVID-19 has spread over whole world and compelled the human society to maintain social distancing. The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted students’ education across the universe. An unexpected temporary suspension of classes had become indefinite due to the severity of COVID-19 all over the world. Thus, the lockdown destroyed the schedules of every student. The students from less privileged backgrounds have experienced large negative impact due to COVID-19 outbreak. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of school life due to COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A quantitative approach with descriptive survey design was used. The sample consists of 348 high school students, aged 11 to 16 years, were selected by convenient sampling technique. The impact of school life due to COVID-19 pandemic scale was prepared by the investigator to collect the data. Results: Descriptive and inferential statistics were tailored to analyse the data and the analyses were carried out on the basis of the objectives and hypothesis of the study. The mean score of the impact of school life due to COVID-19 pandemic was 108, median 112 and the standard deviation 20.11. The school life was moderately and severely affected at 68.6% and 22.4% respectively. There were a correlation between mean scores of curriculum and co-curricular, behavioural mean scores and ‘r’ value 0.947 and 0.921 were highly positively correlated. There were no associations with the impact of school life due to COVID-19 pandemic and selected demographic variables at 0.05 levels. Discussion: The study showed that, moderate and severe level of impact had identified on high school students due to COVID-19 pandemic. The impact may deteriorate very badly if pandemic continues for a year.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a group of disorders of the developing nervous system called tic disorders. It involves repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics) that can't be easily controlled. Tics have typically seen between the ages of 2 to 15 years. Males are about three to four times more likely than females to develop TS. A detailed history of the child's behavior from parents and teachers, in addition to observations of the child's behavior, contributes to making the diagnosis. Many people with TS don't need treatment till symptoms aren't troublesome and there's no cure for TS. Many children and adolescents who have TS also have attention problems and academic difficulties. However, most have normal intelligence and do not usually have primary learning. Parenteral attention is needed to confirm the early diagnosis and create awareness to control tics. A comprehensive evaluation of the child or adolescent's psychological, social, and educational status is recommended, as well as a thorough medical, developmental, and family assessment needed to promote the well-being of children.

Precocious pubescence consists early growth of bones and muscular parts changes in body form and extent area and growth quality of the body’s ability to breed the reason behind precocious pubescence usually cannot be found rarely, sure conditions, like infection, endocrine disorders, tumours, brain abnormalities or injuries, could cause precocious pubescence. Precocious Pubescence may likewise be brought about by Cerebrum Tumours, infected trauma, Hydrocephaly, and Angelman Disorder. Intelligent pubescence is identified with headway in age that winds up in early combination of epiphyses, thusly prompting decreased last tallness and short height. Keeping your child reserved from outer wellspring of Estragon and Androgen like physician endorsed prescriptions for grown-ups inside the house or dietary enhancements containing Estragon and Androgen. Treatment for precocious pubescence generally includes medication to delay on later development. In medicine field precocious puberty occurring at an oddly early age.
