Patients with cancer are at high risk of developing arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE). They constitute 15% to 20% of the patients diagnosed with VTE. Depending on the type of tumor, cancer therapy, and presence of other risk factors, 1% to 25% of patients with cancer will develop thrombosis. The decision to start patients with cancer on primary thromboprophylaxis depends on patient preference, balancing risk of bleeding versus risk of thrombosis, cost, and adequate organ function. Currently, guidelines recommend against the use of routine primary thromboprophylaxis in unselected ambulatory patients with cancer. Validated risk assessment models can accurately identify patients at highest risk for cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). This review summarizes the recently updated NCCN Guidelines for CAT primary prophylaxis, with a primarily focus on VTE prevention. Two main clinical questions that providers commonly encounter will also be addressed: which patients with cancer should receive primary thromboprophylaxis (both surgical and medical oncology patients) and how to safely choose between different anticoagulation agents.

The aim of this study is to examine how psychological and social capital might help entrepreneurs in the tourism and hospitality industry manage stress and develop resilience. This study follows a unique approach aiming to determine the social and psychological characteristics that can alleviate stress and promote resilient behavior. This study investigates the impact of psychological capital (PC) and social capital (SC) on perceived entrepreneurial stress (PES) and entrepreneurial enterprises’ resilience (EER). Also, it examines the mediating role of PES. The study focuses specifically on owners/managers of fast-food outlets and travel agencies in Egypt, using purposive sampling to select enterprises that exhibit varying degrees of entrepreneurial resilience. PLS-SEM was used to analyze 411 genuine surveys from respondents who dared to delve into tourism and hospitality entrepreneurship and experienced uncertainties. All of the direct interactions, along with the indirect link between PC and EER via PES, were significant. Nonetheless, the indirect association between SC and EER via PES was not supported. Theoretically, this study fills a research gap by examining how psychological and social factors contribute to enhancing resilience among small businesses in the tourism and hospitality industry. Additionally, it advances the COR theory by underscoring the significance of individuals' access to valuable assets in stress management and resource resilience. In practical terms, it is important for entrepreneurs to practice the synthesis of different personality qualities that help them understand and adapt to the unique aspects of their industry. Additionally, Egyptian policymakers need to provide entrepreneurs with training in personality development.

The aim of this study is to provide a holistic analysis of Egypt’s image as a tourist destination on Social Media Platforms (SMPs). As a result, the promoted Destination Image (DI) of Egypt on SMPs was investigated, as well as the characteristics of the SMPs and how they are currently viewed by users (tourists). An exploratory analysis using a two-step quantitative approach was carried out. The findings show that the Egyptian SMPs failed to make a relative balance among the various key attractions to successfully deliver Egypt as a destination for all tastes. However, the validity of using the SMPs as marketing platforms can be improved if they are managed by a proficient team recognizing the value of the destination and being conscious of marketing techniques (e.g., the relevance of content, information depth and amount, and the ability to develop a relationship).This paper concentrates on Egypt’s image; however, the value of this study lies in being among the recent studies to assess both the projected and perceived destination image on social media platforms.

Academics have been curious about what motivates pro-environmental behaviour. However, a few research studies have been conducted to analyse and comprehend the pro-environmental behaviour of those in charge of service and production (employees). The COVID-19 outbreak highlighted this topic, emphasising the significance of employees’ pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) in promoting and maintaining business sustainability. Therefore, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by investigating employees’ PEBs during the COVID-19 pandemic. In-person and online surveys were used to reach the staff of hotels and travel agencies in Egypt’s most popular tourist areas. The quantitative data were analysed with SPSS 25. The results revealed that employees of the tourism and hospitality industry are exceptionally engaged in PEBs in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the findings indicate that the structure of tourism and hospitality employees’ PEB comprises six factors: operation activities, habits, organisation rules, health, energy-saving, and environment-related activities. However, their behaviour must be guided and improved in three key areas (personal health, organisational rules, and operation activities). According to this study, employees may follow certain practices without understanding their justification or significance. In practice, the study presents recommendations that might increase the industry’s resistance to challenges in improving the pro-environmental behaviour of industry employees.

The teaching and learning process in higher education is undergoing significant change as academic interactions between educators, students, and their colleagues alter because of the challenges imposed by rigorous globalization and pandemic consequences. As a result, universities have significant challenges regarding traditional campus-based or online learning approaches. These factors have been widely acknowledged to have a negative impact on students' learning experiences, and as a result, there is a need to focus on technology-enhanced education environments. The idea of improvement, however, necessitates examining the necessary changes and factors that the academics and professionals in charge of education must take into account. This research offers a thorough evaluation of Metaverse as a teaching resource in its respective fields from the viewpoint of the teaching staff. Through a descriptive approach, this research evaluates the technical aspects, prospects, challenges, and educators' perceptions of the Metaverse and its didactic usefulness. The questionnaire was completed by 407 faculty lecturers and professors of varied genders, ages, academic levels, and teaching experience who work in various faculties and higher institutes in Egypt. Their responses were descriptively analyzed, and SPSS statistics were used to confirm the existence of significant disparities in their judgments for the various factors investigated. Gaps by area of study and years of teaching experience in the participants' assessments have been found and explored within the major findings. The study also presented an unambiguous overview of the many facets of using Metaverse technology in tourism and hotel higher education.
