Sannathimmappa MB
Article Type: Review Article | First Published: May 02, 2025
Many countries around the world have embraced the One Health strategy to give priority to zoonotic diseases. However, the lack of information on the impact of these diseases and the lack of cooperation between the public and private sectors are hindering the effective implementation of One Health. In Oman, there are protocols for collaboration, but zoonotic diseases continue to be a problem, possibly because these collaborations are not backed by scientific data. There is a pressing need for a s...

Fluoroquinolones are frequently prescribed due to their wide range of antibacterial effects, ease of administration, and widespread availability. However, they are also the second most frequent antibiotics associated with drug allergies. Although it is effectiveness, the potential for causing severe allergic reactions may restrict the available treatment options. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to be used as therapeutic agents because of their ability to modulate the immune system and ...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 14, 2025
It assumes greater significance in situations where administering general anaesthesia is associated with significant risks, such as in pregnant women. Dry tap can have myriad causes, such as a blocked needle, incorrect technique, wrong space, and low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Alternate neuraxial approaches, such as epidural anaesthesia, can be attempted in certain patients, but the risk of an unrecognized dural puncture must be borne in mind....

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 05, 2023
Spontaneous uterine vessel rupture in the peripartum period is a rare but life-threatening condition. We report an unusual case of a spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels leading to hypovolemic shock, two hours postpartum. A 32-year-old patient, gravida 2 para 1, had a first uneventful pregnancy. She now had an induction of labor at a gestational age of 40 weeks 3 days, using prostaglandins, artificial rupture of membranes and oxytocin. Epidural analgesia was used for pain relief. After a short...

Outcomes of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Elderly Patients (≥ 70 Years) with Hematologic Malignancies: A Community Center Experience
Ravjot Kaur Virdi, DO, MPH and Jacob D. Bitran, MD
Article Type: ORIGINAL ARTICLE | First Published: May 05, 2025
Many hematologic malignancies, including leukemia (AML/CML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and aplastic anemia, predominantly affect older adults. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) offers a potential cure for intermediate- to high-risk disease. However, it is infrequently offered to patients older than 70 due to concerns about tolerability. AHSCT in elderly patients remains a challenge. Further studies are needed to refine patient selection criteria, identify key demog...

Prevalence of Endometriosis in Sub-Fertile Women Confirmed at Laparoscopy: A Retrospective Analysis
Swati Sharma, Shilpa Deb, Taqwa Ferdous, Fatema Abusin, Ishan Wijewardana
Article Type: ORIGINAL RESEARCH | First Published: May 14, 2025
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological condition affecting approximately 3-10% of women of reproductive age. The prevalence in infertile population could be up to 50%. Laparoscopy is considered as the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis. However, its invasive nature limits its routine use and currently limited to women symptomatic of endometriosis. Advance imaging techniques such as MRI, enhances the detection rate of deep infiltrating endometriosis but not as much f...
