Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.MR‐ProADM levels reflect Adrenomedullin response to BBB damage. CSF levels are quite variable across different neurological syndromes, but they are particularly high in acute CNS infections, which makes MR‐ProADM a promising additional diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in this setting.

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.Thoracic ultrasound frequently altered ICU management decisions. Changes were more likely in patients with cardiovascular disease or hypovolemia and occurred independently of operator certification. These findings support the routine use of TUS in critically ill patients, even when performed by less‐experienced but supervised operators.
