Co-Infection of and in Patients with Respiratory Disorders in Northeastern Iran.

Background: Respiratory infections caused by and are significant threats, especially to immunocompromised patients. Both pathogens are associated with severe pneumonia and are often underdiagnosed due to the challenges in identifying them accurately, particularly in co-infections. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical impact of co-infections with and in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Modular Centrifugal Microfluidics for Sample Preparation.

Sample preparation is often a critical and labor-intensive step in molecular biology and analytical chemistry. It bottlenecks biological assays, where liquid-handling speed and technique influence the outcome. While automation improves efficiency, traditional systems such as robotic platforms remain costly, complex, and resource-intensive to manufacture.

Detection and subtyping of Blastocystis sp. in human and animal stool samples using high-resolution melting analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and subtype distribution of the genus Blastocystis using high-resolution melting curve analysis (HRM), a novel molecular technique. Blastocystis sp., a unicellular, anaerobic, and zoonotic parasite, is commonly found in the digestive tracts of humans and animals.

Fostering consumer engagement in online shopping: Assessment of environmental video messages in driving purchase intentions toward green products.

Due to environmental concerns and the growing emphasis on sustainable consumption, educating consumers and promoting eco-friendly products are paramount. In this perspective, this research aims to investigate the effect of the tone of video messages delivered just before the decision-making process on visual attention, environmental awareness, and the tendency to consume green products on online platforms. In view of the Regulatory Focus Theory, the study employs a dual-method approach, integrating eye-tracking as a neuromarketing tool and a questionnaire to enhance the reliability of findings.

Immersive Media-Based Tourism Emerging Challenge of VR Addiction Among Generation Z.

The virtual reality (VR) applications in entertainment and tourism industry have become growingly intense among generation Z. Interestingly, some pilot research on tourism studied concluded the positive impact of its flow experience on adoption of VR tourism, which is also driving the risk of immersive addictive. In the context of tourism and information and communication technology (ICT)-based innovation, there is a lack of immersive addictive behavior (IAB)-related literature.

Applying Acoustic Emission Technique for Detecting Various Damages Occurred in PCL Nanomodified Composite Laminates.

Interleaving composite laminates by nanofibers is a well-known method of increasing interlaminar fracture toughness. Among many possibilities, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers is one of the best choices for toughening composite laminates. The influence of PCL on delamination mode of failure is considered before.
