Subsequent SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection in Healthcare Workers: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Iran

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The evolution of SARS‐CoV‐2 has increased global COVID‐19 case prevalence. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are particularly susceptible to reinfection due to their exposure to infected patients. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for subsequent SARS‐CoV‐2 infection among HCWs.

Wildfires and Atopic Diseases: A Review

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 651-662, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfire smoke is a major environmental health threat that has increased in frequency and severity in recent years. A hazardous component of wildfire smoke is particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5). There is evidence to suggest that exposure to wildfire PM2.5 may increase the risk of developing or exacerbating atopic diseases, such as asthma ...

Micropleated Nanofibrous Filters for High‐Efficiency Submicron Aerosol Filtration: A Comparative Study with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Gas Mask Filters

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 3, 4 February 2026.
This study presents micropleated filters manufactured by needleless electrospinning. Nanofibers are deposited onto uniaxially pre‐stretched substrates that contract upon release, forming densely packed micropleats. This architecture increases effective surface area without enlarging the filter size, achieving quality factors comparable to those of ...
