Arterial and venous thromboembolism are leading causes of morbidity and death worldwide. Despite significant advances in the diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment of thrombotic diseases over the past 3 decades, the adoption of findings stemming from translational biomarker research in clinical practice remains limited. Biomarkers provide an opportunity to enhance our understanding of pathophysiological processes and optimize treatment strategies.

Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is crucial for managing critically ill patients; however, extubation failure, associated with adverse outcomes, continues to pose a significant challenge.
Objective: The purpose of this prospective observational study was to develop and validate a predictive numerical model utilizing bedside ultrasound to forecast extubation outcomes in ICU patients.
Methods: We enrolled 300 patients undergoing MV, from whom clinical variables, biomarkers, and ultrasound parameters were collected.

Rationale And Objectives: Central arterial blood pressure (CBP) is considered a more valuable prognostic marker of major cardiovascular diseases than peripheral blood pressure. Non-invasive evaluation of central aortic pressure by Doppler echocardiography is a hopeful tool, avoiding many complications of invasive catheter strategy and diminishing time and costs.
Methods: A total of 118 patients were referred for elective cardiac catheterization at the Cardiovascular Medicine Department, Mansoura University.
