Virology is a subdiscipline of microbiology that studies the morphology, genetic structure, biochemical properties, replication strategies, interactions with host cells, and methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases caused by viruses. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that can replicate only within living cells and lack metabolic activity. In their extracellular phase, viruses are inactive; upon entering a host cell, they use the host’s enzymatic and ribosomal system

The lateral flow assay (LFA), also known as lateral flow or side-flow testing, is a biosensor system that offers users numerous advantages. Its working principle is based on capillary action—the phenomenon in which a liquid moves through a narrow space due to adhesive forces exceeding cohesive forces. LFA systems, as examples of point of care tests, provide rapid, easy, low-cost, portable, and reliable results. LFA-based test kits are used for diagnosing various viruses such as COVID-19, pregnan

InIntravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a minimally invasive imaging technique whose foundations were laid in 1942 by Austrian scientist Theodore Dussik to examine the internal structure of blood vessels in detail. This technology plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of vascular diseases. Today it is primarily used for detecting pathological formations in the cardiovascular system common. The high-resolution images provided by IVUS support clinical decision-making by offering
