Comparison of tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopy versus videolaryngoscope-assisted flexible tracheoscopy in patients with simulated manual in-line stabilisation – A randomised controlled trial

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: Airway management in cervical spine injury is challenging, and combining videolaryngoscopy with a flexible tracheoscope could enhance glottic visualisation, addressing the limitations when used alone.

A Tumor‐Boundary Niche Enriched for PD‐1+CD8+T Cells and BTLA+B Cells Drives Resistance to Immunotherapy in NSCLC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A spatial niche composed of BTLA+B cells and CD8+T cells is enriched at the tumor boundary in non‐small cell lung cancer. Within this specialized niche, BTLA+B cells act as a dominant source of IL‐6, upregulating PD‐1 on CD8+T cells via STAT3 signaling.
