Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the vital need for training frontline healthcare providers (HCPs) in Oman to improve their readiness to treat COVID-19 patients while minimizing virus transmission.
- Data collected from 241 respondents revealed significant differences in awareness and knowledge based on gender and profession, with many HCPs feeling stressed and fearful about handling contagious patients.
- Despite understanding hospital protocols, many HCPs felt unprepared due to insufficient skills training, highlighting the need for enhanced training to boost confidence and effective response to future health crises.

December 2024
Objective: To date, there are no published studies From the Sultanate of Oman on the incidence or characteristics of craniosynostosis (CS). This is a population-based epidemiological study of the incidence of CS.
Methods: The prospective registry of the craniofacial surgery unit in Khoula Hospital was used to retrieve data on all individuals with CS treated between 2004 and 2023.
Comparing flow and pulmonary artery growth post-patent ductus arteriosus stenting in patients with ductal-dependent pulmonary flow using 4D magnetic resonance imaging.

Aims: The 4D magnetic resonance imaging (4D-flow MRI) provides a qualitative and quantitative assessment of cardiovascular structures and processes. 4D-flow MRI was used to study pulmonary flow in post-patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent insertion in duct-dependent pulmonary flow neonates at baseline (PDA stent insertion) and after 6 months, and also, to evaluate the effect of flow dynamics on the growth of pulmonary arteries (PAs).
Methods And Results: This prospective observational study included neonates with ductus arteriosus-dependent pulmonary circulation who underwent ductal stenting between June 2021 and November 2022.
