Article Synopsis
- Thrombocytopenia is a key issue in dengue, impacting platelets' activation and their interaction with blood vessel lining cells (endothelium), although the specific role of platelet-derived exosomes (PLT-EXOs) in this process is unclear.
- This study involved 28 healthy subjects and 69 dengue patients, examining platelet function and the characteristics of PLT-EXOs in relation to endothelial cell behavior.
- Results showed significant changes in platelet markers in dengue patients, with PLT-EXOs leading to damage in the endothelial cell layer and reduced levels of proteins essential for cell junction integrity, highlighting their potential role in dengue pathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- A comparative study evaluated the effectiveness of King Vision video laryngoscope (KVVL) against the Macintosh direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubating critically ill ICU patients, focusing on glottic view, success rates, and intubation time.
- Results showed that KVVL provided significantly better glottic visualization and a higher first-pass success rate (95.7% vs. 81.4%), with faster intubation times compared to Macintosh DL.
- Both methods had similar airway morbidities, but the KVVL required less manipulation for intubation, highlighting the promise of KVVL when used by experienced professionals.
Very few extensive studies regarding job stressors among doctors and nurses have been conducted in India. It is important to explore the workplace to understand various stressors that adversely affect the well-being of an individual and also affect health care and needs of patients and relatives. Considering this, the present study was planned to determine stress among doctors and nurses from the critical care unit (CCU) and to find the association of stress with selected variables.
