[00:00:00] Physical activity in these
[00:00:02] has proven its success. This diseases, especially when they are not very active
[00:00:06] because activity reduces the symptoms of
[00:00:11] and talking about this stiffness, and there are other types such as psoriatic arthritis. There is also
[00:00:14] gouty arthritis.
[00:00:18] This is the same. We can recommend physical
[00:00:21] activity during periods of no severe inflammation. So, with severe
[00:00:25] inflammation, it is preferable to control the disease, especially
[00:00:29] this attack. When we talk about another type of
[00:00:32] joint problem, which is, for example, osteoarthritis, the basic
[00:00:36] pillar in treating these types of
[00:00:39] osteoarthritis is encouraging
[00:00:43] strengthening
[00:00:48] The segment will be with the steam. We preserve muscles, physical activity to strengthen the muscles around the joint so that the pressure on the joint is reduced.
[00:00:51] Also, physical therapy sometimes helps in
[00:00:55] coping with osteoarthritis.
[00:00:58] It depends on the type, doctor. Also, recently,
[00:01:02] there has also been a treatment, which is
[00:01:05] injections that work in
[00:01:08] a surgical process. There is a group of injections and certain materials
[00:01:12] that they can put between the joints to help
[00:01:16] relax the joints and prevent friction, and at the same time,
[00:01:19] reduce pain. Tell us about this procedure, doctor.
[00:01:23] Well, I think
[00:01:27] our viewers. We are with you live you are talking more about osteoarthritis.
[00:01:34] Yes, especially, for example, one of the common places is
[00:01:38] the knees. All
[00:01:40] our hearts. We are international societies recommend, for example, a cortisone injection in
[00:01:44] the joint to calm the joint,
[00:01:47] reduce inflammation in it, and thus reduce pain and help with movement. And we have patients, usually, the cortisone
[00:01:50] injection can calm these
[00:01:54] symptoms. Of course, doctor, it does not treat to the stage of arthritis
[00:01:58] if one takes this procedure.
[00:02:01] No, it is considered to relieve pain because in
[00:02:04] the end, osteoarthritis is not
[00:02:07] arthritis. Arthritis is usually
[00:02:10] chronic, and there is gradual erosion
[00:02:12] of the joint. In order to control these symptoms
[00:02:16] for a period
[00:02:18] technologies in of months, for example,
[00:02:20] life. We call it in we can give the patient an injection in the joint. When we talk about arthritis,
[00:02:24] for example, some types of arthritis can be injected with
[00:02:27] cortisone during severe periods,
[00:02:30] but the usual
[00:02:34] treatment
[00:02:35] sector. There are many
[00:02:36] Wow, for arthritis and rheumatism is usually
[00:02:39] very small amounts of cortisone, and then
[00:02:43] it is followed by special
[00:02:46] medications that we call disease-modifying
[00:02:49] drugs. The goal is to prevent
[00:02:53] the joint from eroding over time due to severe inflammation.
[00:02:58] to be abundant in And there are advanced drugs now, which are biological drugs. It is usually a single injection once
[00:03:01] a week or a month, and sometimes every six months.
[00:03:05] So it varies by type. Excellent. Okay,
[00:03:08] doctor. After
[00:03:10] it, we won't find it the treatment phase, some
[00:03:13] That's its name. Yes, we get it patients, thank God, recover from
[00:03:16] We celebrate this arthritis. But what is the importance of
[00:03:19] follow-up with the doctor if
[00:03:23] the patient feels that he is fine?
[00:03:26] Yes, these diseases,
[00:03:30] especially rheumatoid arthritis, is a chronic disease.
[00:03:34] So in chronic diseases, whatever the disease, whether it is, for example,
[00:03:38] diabetes or high blood pressure, for example, even if
[00:03:41] the patient feels that his health
[00:03:45] is excellent,
[00:03:48] want young people to take it is essential to control these inflammations so that they do not
[00:03:51] recur and lead to joint damage in the long
[00:03:54] term. So here comes
[00:03:56] Absolutely, Sultan, last the importance of the doctor, that
[00:03:58] the doctor's goal, the doctor's visit, is to preserve
[00:04:02] the joint so that inflammations do not recur
[00:04:05] through regular follow-up
[00:04:08] and through treatment in cases of inflammation
[00:04:11] and maintaining the joint without inflammation, meaning moving on to
[00:04:14] I wanted to ask you this prevention. Yes, we can move to prevention.
[00:04:18] Of course, prevention also varies
[00:04:22] of income, create new job by type. If we talk, for example, about osteoarthritis, lifestyle is important.
[00:04:27] many employees and many olive oil, what did we say about Maintaining a balanced weight reduces and thus reduces
[00:04:30] cartilage erosion. This helps.
[00:04:33] You also have certain exercises
[00:04:36] that strengthen the muscles around
[00:04:39] the joint, thus reducing pressure on the joint.
[00:04:43] Some other types, for example,
[00:04:45] contributes to the success of this gouty arthritis, Al-Dhahirah Governorate. This nutrition
[00:04:48] plays
[00:04:49] to the lemon, to the rice, a role. Indeed, there are many
[00:04:54] the most important thing, details that we need to focus on so that we do not reach this
[00:04:57] level and reach joint inflammation
[00:05:01] and so on, and friction for all
[00:05:05] the most delicious food in these things. We wish everyone well, God willing. Dr. Tariq Abdallah
[00:05:07] Al-Fannaan Al-Aremi, Senior Consultant in Rheumatology
[00:17:23] with you from the kitchen and to many segments that we present to you
[00:17:27] every morning, and to our correspondents located
[00:17:30] in different places in the Sultanate of Oman, in
[00:17:33] different states and governorates of the Sultanate, to convey
[00:17:36] to us the most important events and activities, and to represent
[00:17:40] the Oyster farming project in the state of Masirah,
[00:17:43] our viewers, in the governorate of South Sharqiyah,
[00:17:47] a promising model for sustainable
[00:17:50] marine farming in the Sultanate of Oman, through
[00:17:52] the employment of modern
[00:17:55] marine production and also strengthening food security and also benefiting
[00:17:59] from the natural components of the marine environment, which
[00:18:03] supports the growth of the blue economy and also opens
[00:18:06] new horizons for investment in the
[00:18:09] commercial
[00:18:13] details with us. Our correspondent Yacoub bin Yusuf
[00:18:17] Al-Balushi, who will tell us more about that. Yacoub, good morning
[00:18:20] from Morning Coffee. What do you have
[00:18:24] on this topic, and what are the details and more information?
[00:18:27] Please, the floor
[00:18:28] is yours.
[00:18:32] Greetings to you, Shaimaa, and greetings to Amaal, and greetings to all
[00:18:35] the followers from here, from the island of Masirah, from the island
[00:18:39] of Masirah, excuse me, which witnessed or will witness
[00:18:42] in January 2025 the operation or the first operation
[00:18:46] of the oyster farming
[00:18:49] project here on the island, which is hoped to be
[00:18:53] expanded later to
[00:18:55] target larger areas
[00:18:59] and greater production to cover the local market
[00:19:02] as well as the
[00:19:05] external market. The area we are in
[00:19:08] is about 25 km from the center of the city
[00:19:12] or state of Masirah to the southwest, where
[00:19:15] the area and coasts are suitable for oyster
[00:19:19] farming here and its proliferation.
[00:19:21] And for more details about the importance of the project from an economic
[00:19:24] perspective, Shaimaa, we are pleased in these
[00:19:28] minutes to host Salman bin Hamad
[00:19:30] Al-Farsi, who is a member of the board of directors of the Omani Fishermen's
[00:19:34] Association. Salman, welcome. After
[00:19:37] the welcome, please directly inform the viewers about
[00:19:40] the importance and economic
[00:19:43] value of the oyster farming project here on
[00:19:47] Masirah Island. And greetings to you. Of course, when we talk
[00:19:51] today about aquaculture, it is one of
[00:19:54] the promising paths to enhance food security, diversify sources
[00:19:59] opportunities, and also attract foreign investments, given
[00:20:03] what the Sultanate possesses in terms of long coasts
[00:20:06] and resources. And
[00:20:09] of course, aquaculture will create many job opportunities today.
[00:20:13] The state of Masirah, thank God, possesses marine resources
[00:20:16] due to its historical connection to marine wealth
[00:20:20] and its complete reliance on marine wealth as a source of income.
[00:20:23] Of course, we will discuss today the
[00:20:26] economic importance of the blue economy as a diversification of the blue economy,
[00:20:30] which is one of the aquaculture paths in the state of Masirah.
[00:20:33] It is considered promising for
[00:20:37] young people, small and medium-sized
[00:20:39] enterprises.
[00:20:41] The volume of investments, God willing, that will be in the future.
[00:20:45] Today, as we saw, the project is under
[00:20:48] trial, and the project
[00:20:52] gives, God willing, more promising studies for future
[00:20:56] aquaculture projects in the state of Masirah, and also encourages young people
[00:20:59] to pay attention from today to training
[00:21:03] for such
[00:21:05] projects. What kind of jobs do these projects require that young people should pursue training
[00:21:09] or study? It is also an encouragement to establish small
[00:21:12] and medium-sized enterprises to work in the manufacturing sector.
[00:21:16] The blue economy chain, of course, is long. When we talk about
[00:21:20] an aquaculture project, it involves collection, sorting,
[00:21:24] refrigeration, freezing, packaging, and export.
[00:21:26] So the project as a supply chain is considered
[00:21:29] large, and at the same time, it is not considered a substitute for traditional
[00:21:33] fishing, but rather a complement to traditional fishing.
[00:21:36] Yes, these projects,
[00:21:39] of course, benefit a chain of beneficiaries
[00:21:43] that you mentioned. A large system of refrigeration, storage,
[00:21:46] export, and so on. Its importance to the island.
[00:21:50] And also the possibility of entering into other similar projects
[00:21:54] for investment here due to the suitable climate
[00:21:58] and the suitable environment for these types of
[00:22:01] projects. As for Masirah Island, of course,
[00:22:05] we are concerned with the eastern side, which overlooks the Arabian Sea directly, and the western side
[00:22:09] where the rock oyster project is currently being invested.
[00:22:12] This western environment is very suitable
[00:22:16] for such aquaculture projects. Also,
[00:22:20] the Sultanate's coasts have almost
[00:22:23] zero pollution. So the coasts, the
[00:22:25] waters are very clean.
[00:22:28] So today, God willing,
[00:22:31] we hope that young people will turn to aquaculture
[00:22:35] of all kinds, whether fish or
[00:22:38] shellfish or other mollusks. The most
[00:22:42] important starting point is to focus on what jobs these projects require.
[00:22:46] Here, young people must turn to this channel.
[00:22:50] Study and training. And today, thank God, the government
[00:22:54] has opened its doors. Also, the sectoral skills unit in
[00:22:58] the fisheries sector is available. This will also qualify
[00:23:01] young people so that coordination between the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Agricultural and Fisheries
[00:23:05] Wealth qualifies young people to open such projects, even
[00:23:09] if they are small. Today, we do not want large, huge projects
[00:23:12] that monopolize all activities. Rather,
[00:23:16] we want projects that are sequential, forming a chain so that everyone benefits.
[00:23:20] I have companies or projects or institutions that will work in aquaculture.
[00:23:24] I should have other institutions that specialize in sorting,
[00:23:28] marketing, storage, and so on. So here,
[00:23:32] I will have a real chain and added value for the state itself
[00:23:35] and for the people of this state. This is what we aspire to, God willing. And the economic
[00:23:39] advantage of the South Sharqiyah Governorate is the blue economy,
[00:23:43] and this is one of the blue economy projects that we aspire to, God willing,
[00:23:48] the future. And as you mentioned,
[00:23:50] it should not be a substitute for traditional fishing, but rather a complement to traditional
[00:23:53] fishing. Congratulations to the island. Congratulations to
[00:23:57] Oman on these projects, this project, and future projects.
[00:24:01] And it is certainly an addition to building a diversified
[00:24:05] economy that focuses especially on the comparative advantages of the South Sharqiyah
[00:24:09] Governorate, which is known as the blue economy. Thank
[00:24:12] you, and we wish you success. Thank you. May God reward you with good. I have one
[00:24:16] final addition. We also hope for progress in the same
[00:24:20] area, which is the blue economy, what is called blue tourism.
[00:24:23] Today, blue tourism is not exploited in the state of Masirah. We have a pristine
[00:24:27] environment, we have beaches, we have coral reefs. So,
[00:24:30] the blue economy includes blue tourism.
[00:24:32] So there are many promising projects.
[00:24:35] We just
[00:24:38] action. Don't wait to get
[00:24:41] a job. Seize the opportunity that is available today, and thank God,
[00:24:44] the government enables any young person who wants
[00:24:48] to work. The government, thank God, has empowered us. May God reward you with good.
[00:24:52] Thank you, Salman. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you. So,
[00:24:55] dear viewers, this was a stop with the oyster
[00:24:59] farming project here on Masirah Island.
[00:25:02] We only note that the project started in January 2025
[00:25:06] with two hectares of cultivated area, consisting of six
[00:25:10] lines with 3600 boxes
[00:25:13] for oyster farming with sizes starting from
[00:25:17] three to 40 grams,
[00:25:20] then reaching, in eight to ten
[00:25:23] months, nearly or more than
[00:25:27] 200 grams per oyster,
[00:25:30] which enhances and
[00:25:35] project due to the high reproduction
[00:25:39] or rapid growth of oysters and their reaching commercial
[00:25:42] quantities in these waters.
[00:25:45] The target, Shaimaa, in the expansion of the project,
[00:25:51] is to reach a cultivated area of, or
[00:25:54] a trial farm, excuse me, of
[00:25:56] 20 hectares by
[00:25:59] 2028, and then another stage to 40
[00:26:03] hectares in the future, Shaimaa.
[00:26:06] Yes, Yacoub Al-Balushi, thank you very much
[00:26:09] for your presence in the state of Masirah
[00:26:13] project, which undoubtedly opens horizons for young people,
[00:26:17] for employment, for investment, and for greater growth
[00:26:21] of the blue economy. Thank you and thank you to all
[00:26:24] our correspondents who are present in various states
[00:26:27] and governorates of the Sultanate to convey to you the most important events,
[00:26:31] activities, and projects that
[00:29:12] Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Good morning to
[00:29:15] all.
[00:29:19] month the World Mental Health Day
[00:29:21] and the importance of awareness
[00:29:25] about this topic and solving all the challenges
[00:29:28] that, welcome, Sultan, welcome.
[00:29:31] Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Welcome to this
[00:29:34] ongoing segment. Today,
[00:29:38] our topic is about, God willing, of course, God willing, in the coming
[00:29:41] days there will be
[00:29:45] rain, and according to what the meteorology
[00:29:48] department advises, everyone must be careful and cautious
[00:29:52] and protect their family and everything related
[00:29:56] to them.
[00:29:58] Monday, I attended an event
[00:30:01] in North Sharqiyah. I mean, mashallah, the interest
[00:30:05] of the governorates in spreading awareness about the importance
[00:30:09] of communicating with people with hearing disabilities. Tell us about that event. Yes, definitely.
[00:30:13] Definitely, of course, I am very proud of the North Sharqiyah
[00:30:17] Governorate. They invited me to
[00:30:20] the International Day of Sign Language. It was in
[00:30:24] the North Sharqiyah Governorate. Of course, there were
[00:30:29] questions. But
[00:30:33] this was a matter
[00:30:35] of communication.
[00:30:38] So we started by putting the slogan, and
[00:30:41] then we started the model in
[00:30:45] model was the festival
[00:30:48] with the participation of people with disabilities in Al-Dhahirah Governorate's festival.
[00:30:51] And now there is enthusiasm and activities for this
[00:30:55] group also in North Sharqiyah Governorate. We hope that this awareness continues.
[00:30:58] in all governorates.
