Analysis of Bone Microarchitectural Changes and Structural Damage in Sickle Cell Disease-Induced Avascular Necrosis Using Raman Spectroscopy: Is there potential for medical management?

Ahmed Al Ghaithi, John Husband, Sultan Al Maskari · Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal · 2025 · 10.18295/squmj.2021.21.02.020

Objectives: Bone failure due to avascular necrosis (AVN) is a complex pathological phenomenon. Analysis of molecular changes in the bone matrix may help to shed light on the disease process and guide management. This study aimed to explore changes in bone quality and structural damage caused by sickle cell disease (SCD …

Biofilm-Induced Bone Degradation in Osteomyelitis: Insights from a comprehensive ex vivo pathogen interaction study

Ahmed Al Ghaithi, John Husband, Attika Al Kindi et al. · Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal · 2025 · 10.18295/squmj.10.2024.053

Objectives: Osteomyelitis, characterised by bone inflammation due to microbial infection, presents significant healthcare challenges. While the protective role of biofilm in bacterial immunity and persistence is well-documented, its direct impact on bone degradation in osteomyelitis remains inadequately characterised. …
