Effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided versus Anatomical Landmark-guided Genicular Nerve Block to Treat Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: GNB administration using USG and ALG techniques are both effective in significantly reducing pain, stiffness, and functional limitation in patients suffering from chronic knee OA. Among the two techniques, USG appears to be more effective. Nevertheless, GNB guided by ALG continues to be a viable treatment modality, especially in healthcare settings with limited to no USG facilities.PMID:38225997 | PMC:PMC10788927 | DOI:10.5001/omj.2023.103 (Source: Oman Medical Journal)

Gender-specific Reference Range for Serum Leptin in Omani Population
CONCLUSIONS: We identified gender-specific reference ranges for serum leptin in a large cohort of Arabs. The optimum cut-off value for serum leptin to determine metabolic derangement with the highest sensitivity and specificity was 24.1-28.9 ng/mL. Future studies are needed to study the relative risk of higher serum leptin using prospective studies.PMID:38225999 | PMC:PMC10788847 | DOI:10.5001/omj.2023.96 (Source: Oman Medical Journal)

Comparing Opioid with Opioid-free Anesthesia Technique in Neonates Undergoing Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair
CONCLUSIONS: In neonates undergoing TEF repair, opioid-free anesthesia is a safe and effective method, providing a better extubation rate, faster time to extubation, and better postoperative pain control.PMID:38204595 | PMC:PMC10776962 | DOI:10.5001/omj.2023.98 (Source: Oman Medical Journal)

Case Series on Barotrauma in COVID-19 Infection Patients
Oman Med J. 2023 Sep 28;38(5):e557. doi: 10.5001/omj.2023.44. eCollection 2023 Sep.ABSTRACTAs COVID-19 emerged in the world, there was a high prevalence of intubation and intensive care admissions. Many cases of barotrauma were reported in those patients. This condition is caused by alveoli rupture, which causes the air to enter the surrounding extra-alveolar spaces. It mainly happens in intubated patients. Here, we report 14 cases of barotrauma in COVID-19 patients, which appeared either spontaneously or after receiving non-invasive ventilation, some of the patients presented initially with mild-moderate forms of the dise...

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring
Oman Med J. 2023 Sep 28;38(5):e543. doi: 10.5001/omj.2023.73. eCollection 2023 Sep.ABSTRACTCoronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring improves traditional risk factor-based coronary heart disease (CHD) risk stratification. Here, the contribution of CAC scoring to a traditional 10-year CHD risk prediction scores and new artificial intelligence methods used to automate CAC scoring were reviewed. Research shows that traditional risk factors tend to overestimate or underestimate the actual risk of CHD, meaning that including CAC score in the risk stratification has potential to reduce over- and undertreatment. The automated CAC sco...
