Two researchers independently searched the databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, SID, and Magiran. The initial search yielded 2290 studies, of which 41 were eventually included in this systematic review. Breastfeeding requirements of adolescent mothers were categorized into eight categories: 1. Social support from health care providers, partners, and families; 2. School support for breastfeeding mothers, 3. Receiving breastfeeding counseling based on cultural sensitivities, 4. Educational assistance from health providers for adolescent mothers' families 5. Changing harmful cultural values and judgments about adolescent mothers' breastfeeding, 6. Additional home or outpatient visits in the days following hospital discharge; 7. Peer support and peer counseling, 8. Economic needs. To promote breastfeeding, policymakers and healthcare providers ought to devise specifically tailored programs and interventions to cater to the specific requirements of mothers.

This study aimed to assess the key factors potentially linked to a complex progression of osteomyelitis in patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Methods: A cohort of thirty-four patients was identified, and their progress was monitored over a span of twelve months, during a ten-year period (2010-2020). The variables under investigation encompassed demographic and clinical traits, laboratory analyses, imaging data, as well as the strategies employed for treatment. Results: The risk prediction model has pinpointed five factors (severity of sickle cell disease, involvement of lower limbs, presence of bacteraemia, MRI findings, and utilization of surgical debridement) that exhibited an Area Under the Curve (AUC) exceeding 0.7. Causative organisms were identified in 9 out of the total cases, constituting 26.47% of the patient cohort. Among the 34 patients, 17 displayed a severe course of sickle cell disease (AUC 7.88), with MRI being highlighted as a valuable contributing factor (AUC 7.88). Furthermore, thirteen patients (38.2%) underwent surgical debridement, a procedure that yielded a statistically significant P-value of 0.012 and an AUC of 0.714. Conclusion: Osteomyelitis within the context of severe sickle cell disease, particularly when accompanied by lower extremity infection, bacteraemia, and positive MRI findings, and necessitating surgical debridement, emerges as a cluster of risk factors predisposing individuals to osteomyelitis relapse and a more intricate disease trajectory. \u0000Keywords: Sickle cell disease, Osteomyelitis, Disease Severity, Debridement, bacteraemia","PeriodicalId":22083,"journal":{"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138957029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary cancer center in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman from May 2022 to March 2023. Consecutive patients undergoing EBUS TBNA under moderate sedation were quasi-randomized into HFNO and SAD groups. The episodes and duration of hypoxia and the lowest level of oxygen saturation were the primary outcome measured. Results: A total of twenty-four patients were taken into the study of which 10 were in the HFNO group and 14 were in the SAD group with an equal number of males and females. The duration of the procedure in both the groups was similar (45±20 mins in HFNO vs 44±17 in the SAD group). Mean lowest oxygen saturation in the HFNO group was (93.5%±4), which was statistically significant in comparison to the SAD group (90±6). In both groups, the maximum hypoxia occurred during the early phase of the procedure. However, both the groups were similar for the cumulative duration of hypotension (140 secs in HFNO vs 55 secs in SAD) and bradycardia (25 secs in HFNO vs. 40 secs in SAD). Conclusion: HFNO can be a good alternative to the SAD and could be used safely and efficiently in the cohort of population in patients undergoing EBUS TBNA. \u0000Keywords: High flow nasal oxygenation; Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration; Supraglottic airway devices.","PeriodicalId":22083,"journal":{"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138958552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
