Molecular identification and subtypes analysis of Blastocystis in South Khorasan province, Eastern Iran.

Background: Blastocystis is a prevalent intestinal parasitic protist that infects both birds and animals. There are at least 44 subtypes (ST) of Blastocystis, with ST1-ST9 being found in humans. The correlation between specific subtypes and pathogenicity has not been definitively established.

Tailored recruitment interventions to improve bowel cancer screening in Arabic and Mandarin speaking groups: Modelled cost-effectiveness.

Background: Effective bowel cancer screening is freely available in Australia, however, there are inequities in utilisation amongst non-English speakers at home. This study estimates the health impacts and cost-effectiveness of recruitment interventions targeted at Arabic and Mandarin speaking populations in Victoria, Australia to increase bowel cancer screening participation.

Methods: A Markov microsimulation model simulated the development of bowel cancer, considering National Bowel Cancer Screening Program participation rates.

Serological diagnosis of in mothers and their neonate referred to selected teaching hospitals, Tehran, Iran, 2020.

Toxocariasis is a common zoonotic parasitic disease, primarily caused by the larvae of or . Humans become infected through accidental ingestion of infective eggs in soil contaminated with feces of infected animals, or by consuming undercooked meat from paratenic hosts harboring larvae. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of spp.

Myocardial perfusion SPECT radiomic features reproducibility assessment: Impact of image reconstruction and harmonization.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has one of the highest mortality rates in humans worldwide. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) provides clinicians with myocardial metabolic information non-invasively. However, there are some limitations to interpreting SPECT images performed by physicians or automatic quantitative approaches.

Effect of plasma-activated water on planktonic and biofilm cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from cutting board surfaces in retail seafood markets.

Aims: This research aimed to analyze cutting board surfaces in seafood markets to find Vibrio parahaemolyticus, assess the isolates' ability to form biofilms, generate and evaluate characteristics of plasma-activated water (PAW), and compare the effect of PAW on planktonic and biofilm cells of the isolated V. parahaemolyticus strains.

Methods And Results: A total of 11 V.
