Abstract
Background: Electronic health literacy refers to the skills and ability to search for, find, understand, and evaluate health information from electronic sources and to apply this information to address or manage a specific health problem. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to assess the level of e-health literacy among students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences in 2023.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study collected data using the standardized eHEALS questionnaire from all students of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. The sample size was estimated at 250 students, and the online questionnaire was distributed using a simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (one-way ANOVA and independent t-test) with SPSS software version 26.
Results: The mean electronic health literacy score of the students was 36.00±4.00. Examination of literacy levels showed that 94.4% of students were at a moderate level and 5.6% at a high level, with no students at a low level. Statistical tests revealed that only the field of study had a significant association with electronic health literacy (p=0.001), whereas gender (p=0.971), educational level (p=0.822), year of university entry (p=0.715), and internet access tool (p=0.506) had no significant associations.
Conclusion: Considering the moderate level of electronic health literacy among students, special attention to educational planning is essential. This can be achieved through workshops and training courses, raising awareness about accessing online health information, and teaching how to evaluate health information available on the internet. Institutions such as the Ministry of Health and Medical Education can play a significant role in the continuation and improvement of health system digitalization and in enhancing students’ electronic health literacy through such programs.

Abstract
Background & objectives: This research has been carried out in order to optimize technology development policies and reduce the costs of health technology development centers in universities of medical sciences. Identifying the influential factors in the growth of technology units helps the growth centers to more efficiently use the growth of knowledge-based companies and the development and progress of innovative entrepreneurs as a host environment for technology growth.
Methods: The current study is a qualitative research that was conducted by extracting qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with 31 managers of growth centers and managers of units located in growth centers and experts in the field of health entrepreneurship. It has been coded and categorized in three stages and the main and subcategories have been identified.
Results: The results show that for the growth of technology units in health technology growth centers, two basic variables of the growth center program and infrastructure have an effect on the efficiency of the centers and the growth of the units. This is despite the fact that according to the regional capacities of Type 3 medical sciences universities in the country, growth program factors have introduced more categories and less focus has been placed on infrastructure, so the growth plan is good. It can have a bigger share.
Conclusion: This research shows what categories are expected from the growth plan and infrastructures of health technology growth centers in few universities.

Abstract
Enzymes have been used experimentally in the preparation of fermented, food, and medicinal products since mankind started a regular life in the form of early civilizations, without any information about their nature being available. It has been more than a century since scientists have obtained information about the enzymatic reactions and the enzyme structure, and a newer and more practical attitude towards them is obtained day by day. Today, these proteins play roles as biomarkers in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases. Enzymes roles as receptor for some hormones and their qualitative and quantitative changes interfering in the onset of some diseases such as diabetes have been known. In addition, they are used as accurate and specific tools in the assay of some biochemical analytes, phenotypic identification of bacteria and biosensor design. The basis of the mechanism of some drugs is enzyme inhibition. Meanwhile, some enzymes are directly used as drugs. The enzymes are applied in some immunoassay techniques, genetics and proteomics laboratory methods. In modern biotechnology, enzymes are used to produce plenty of products. This review article aimed to take a new, updated and comprehensive approach to several roles that enzymes play in various fields from diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases to their application in medical, genetics and proteomics laboratory methods.
