Nightmare Case of Complex Neonatal Truncus Arteriosus
Neonatal management of severe quadricuspid truncal valve insufficiency is very challenging with high risk of postoperative mortality. Aortic valve reconstruction is the unique rescue and should be consider and previously planned in case of truncal valvuloplasty failure. Many extracardiac malformations can be associated with truncus arteriosus, therefore a cardiac and chest computed tomography scan must be performed before the elective surgical repair.
Spontaneous Secondary Colporrhexis Following Vaginal Delivery in Woman with Previous Caesarean Section
: Colporrhexis is separation of vaginal fornix from cervix and is a rare but serious cause of major obstetric haemorrhage
in women during labor. Immediate clinical diagnosis is difficult but must be anticipated if haemorrhage continues despite contracted
uterus following delivery. Rapid resuscitation and decision of laparotomy with either repair or hysterectomy is key in preventing
maternal mortality.
Evaluation of Paraspinal Muscle Properties in Adolescents with Mild Idiopatic Scoliosis Using Surface EMG Power Spectral Analysis
Previous studies reported that the paraspinal muscles of adolescents with severe idiopathic scoliosis scheduled for surgery
contain higher proportion of type Ⅰ fibers on the convex side. However, the muscle properties are unknown in mild adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences among the convex, concave and control sides of the paraspinal muscles
in patients with mild AIS and healthy individuals and to help in the treatment of mild AIS patients.

Covid-19: Which Baseline Co-Factors are Associated with a Worse Prognosis?
Critically ill Covid-19 patients are characterized by an uncontrolled cytokine storm that reflects a profoundly dysregulated immune
response and represents probably the major factor contributing to mortality. Cytokines can lead to vascular leakage, activation
of complement, and activation of the coagulation cascade, which in turn cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),
myocardial dysfunction, hypotension, and coagulopathy [1-3].

Oman and will help to decrease the cost of treatment by avoiding unnecessary investigations.
Review Article: Managing Spinal Cord Injury on Anesthesiologists’ Perspective
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is trauma to the area of the vertebrae resulting in spinal cord lesions resulting in neurological
disorders, depending on the location of the spinal nerve damage and the injured nerve tissue. The symptoms of SCI can range from
pain and paralysis to incontinence. SCI due to trauma is estimated to occur in 30-40 per million population per year, and about 8,000-
10,000 sufferers each year; generally, occurs in adolescents and young adults. Although the annual incidence of events is relatively low,
the cost of care and rehabilitation for spinal cord injuries is very high, at around US $ 53,000 / patient.
