Article Synopsis
- * These devices exhibit a mixed-mode switching capability, enabling them to operate in both short-term and long-term memory states, which can be influenced by the voltage applied.
- * The short-term mode can replicate various synaptic functions, while the long-term mode supports features for plasticity applications, highlighting their potential for adaptive neuromorphic computing systems.
Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a definitive treatment for profound hearing loss in children and adults. Operating on an infected ear is considered a challenge. Hence, CI in the presence of otitis media with effusion (OME) prior to CI surgery has sparked a debate among neurotologists: treat the OME first or go ahead with surgical intervention.

- - A 24-year-old male diabetic patient developed acute pupillary block glaucoma after undergoing vitrectomy with silicone oil for retinal detachment, leading to severe eye pain and high intraocular pressure (IOP).
- - Despite attempts with medications to reduce IOP, the condition persisted, necessitating surgical intervention to remove the silicone oil and wash the anterior chamber.
- - The case highlights that pupillary block glaucoma can occur not only in aphakic patients but also in phakic and pseudophakic patients, especially in complex cases.
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate, compare the mid-term functional outcome of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using different autografts and assess the cause of failure of primary ACLR in an Omani population with kneeling customs.
Materials And Methods: Patients with failed primary ACLR who underwent revision ACLR using autografts were included in this retrospective study. The cause of primary ACLR failure and the functional outcome was assessed using the Tegner-Lyholm knee score and compared among bone patella tendon-bone (BPTB), quadriceps tendon (QT), semitendinosus gracilis (STG) autografts used.
Introduction: COVID-19 is the first pandemic event that has happened in Oman which requires all residents and nationals to practice quarantine and physical distancing.
Methods: This cross-sectional study targeted the population of Oman and was carried out during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from 11th August 2020 to 7th September 2020. This study utilized the online survey most appropriately designed for the population.
