This research aims to investigate the associations between comorbidities and clinical outcomes, specifically their impacts on mortality rates among COVID-19 inpatients, while also assessing the varying significance of different comorbidities. We conducted this study to understand the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 infect …
Cytologic diagnosis of extra-adrenal paraganglioma presenting as a peripancreatic mass is challenging, with a high rate of diagnostic error. We present a case of a peripancreatic mass identified by radiology as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the mass showe …
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of poisoning-related deaths, particularly affecting organs with high oxygen demands such as the heart and brain. Cardiac complications, including non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), can occur due to CO poisoning but are not frequently reported in the elderl …
Introduction: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prevents muscle loss associated with menopause; however, the relative role of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in post-menopausal women taking HRT is poorly known. We investigate the effects of HRT on plasma C-terminal agrin-fragment-22 (CAF22) in post-menopausal women ta …
The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) stratifies patients with thyroid nodules for further evaluation. We evaluated the accuracy of this risk stratification and compared it with that of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and final pathology. The nodules (n = 381) …
Objectives—This study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to increased absenteeism among nurses in primary healthcare institutions in Oman. Methods—A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design included a structured written questionnaire that uses a quantitative self-repot technique was used. The study wa …
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has the potential to greatly enhance AMR (Anti-microbial Resistance) surveillance. To characterize the prevalent pathogens and dissemination of various AMR-genes, 73 clinical isolates were obtained from blood and respiratory tract specimens, were characterized phenotypically by VITEK-2 (bi …
Background: Primary breast lymphoma is a rare entity in that it accounts for less than 1% of breast cancer and 2.2% of extranodal lymphoma. The most common histological type is diffuse B-cell lymphoma. Early stages of the disease have relatively good prognosis. Case Presentation: In this case, we are reporting on a for …
Background: Gestational anemia is one of the most confronted problems during gestation. Nevertheless, the number of pregnant women with gestational anemia is growing in Oman. This study aimed to explore the perception of pregnant women regarding gestational anemia and iron supplements. This study would help us to compr …
Echocardiography is fundamental to diagnostic medicine, yet medical students seldom learn it. Simulation-based training to improve echocardiography learning is promising. This study examined how simulation-based echocardiography training affects final-year medical students’ knowledge and abilities. The study involved 1 …
