Advanced vertebral surgery performed

Times of Oman13-07-2025
Muscat: The Medical City for Military and Security Services has successfully performed a vertebral fixation surgery using conscious regional anesthesia (without the need for general anesthesia).
The operation constitutes the first step forward in the field of advanced surgical care. It reflects the hospital's commitment to apply the latest international medical practices and the hospital's keenness to develop safe and modern options for treating patients.
Besides cutting down the volume of complications, the surgery helps speed up the recovery of patients, notably those whose chronic conditions make general anesthesia a risky option.
The anesthesia team successfully managed the case with high efficiency by carefully adjusting the sedation doses while maintaining the patient's full consciousness during the procedure. This enabled the surgical team to monitor the patient's neurological responses in real time.
In addition, the nursing team undertook an integral role by qualifying the patient psychologically and physically, besides providing ongoing post-operative care.

Famine in Gaza threatens thousands with starvation, WHO warns

Gaza: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that Gaza is facing the most severe stage of famine according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, with thousands at risk of dying from hunger. In a statement issued today, the organisation said residents of Gaza are suffering from extreme food shortages, with some going days without eating and others dying from severe weakness or organ failure. Children with acute malnutrition, it added, are particularly at risk of death without urgent treatment. The statement highlighted that Gaza's healthcare system is no longer able to function effectively due to a dire shortage of medical supplies and fuel, compounding the suffering of both patients and healthcare workers. The organisation noted that recovery from malnutrition requires months of specialised medical care and therapeutic feeding, warning that some effects may be lifelong, such as stunted growth and chronic health conditions. The WHO called for the immediate and unhindered entry of humanitarian aid -- food and medicine -- through all possible routes. It urged Israel to facilitate the delivery of assistance and ensure its safe and rapid passage in order to save lives and end the suffering of civilians. The organisation also renewed its call for a ceasefire.

Royal Court Affairs succeeds in breeding critically endangered Arabian Leopard

Muscat : The Royal Court Affairs has successfully bred and protected a number of Arabian leopards from extinction by providing healthcare, proper nutrition, and a suitable environment for their reproduction. One of the most notable births at the Wildlife Breeding Center is the female Arabian leopard named "Al-Muzn," now approximately two and a half years old, which is in excellent health after receiving continuous monitoring by specialists at the center. The center, affiliated with the Directorate General of Veterinary Services at the Royal Court Affairs, has also successfully bred and cared for two other leopards—a male and a female—both over three months old. The Arabian leopard requires heightened care during its first few months, as this is a critical phase during which many cubs face mortality risks, including potential maternal rejection. The center has succeeded in early intervention to rescue, nurture, and stabilize the health of these leopards. The center is currently caring for several Arabian leopards originally from Samhan Mountain in Dhofar Governorate, with the goal of increasing their population, protecting them from extinction, and eventually reintroducing them into the wild after ensuring their ability to survive and reproduce. Additionally, the center exchanges expertise, knowledge, and research with other breeding centers in the region. It is worth noting that the center also breeds and conserves various other species native to Oman's environment, such as the Arabian gazelle, the Arabian tahr and other wildlife.
