    Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various methods of processing, such as natural, washed, honey, anaerobic fermentation, and carbonic maceration, on the contents of heavy metals in green and roasted specialty coffees from various countries of origin (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru). The heavy metals aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) were identified by a multi-element technique using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Mercury (Hg) content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The processing method affected the contents of Hg, Al, Ni, Cr, Cd, and Pb in the green and roasted coffees (

    Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of total dissolved solids (TDS), extraction yield (EY), and grinding on total polyphenols (TP), total flavonoids (TF), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in a fermented specialty coffee prepared using different methods of filtration (Hario V60, Aeropress, and the French press). The concentrations of antioxidant compounds differed between the TDS treatments and the methods of preparation. The TP and TF with Hario V60 were the highest at a TDS of 1.84%. The TP with Aeropress was at its highest at a TDS of 1.82%. TAC with the French press was at its highest at a TDS of 1.58%. EY was at its highest with fine grinding (Hario V60 > French press > Aeropress at 25.91%, 21.69%, and 20.67%, respectively). French press coffees had the highest TP (p = 0.045). Hario V60 coffee had the highest TF, but the TAC of the coffees remained comparable for all methods. EY and TDS influenced TP, TF, and TAC in the coffee beverages using the finest grinding size for all methods of preparation. The finer the grind, the higher the antioxidant activity of the beverages. Measuring coffee extractions should be one of the most important processes in fermented coffee preparation.

    Abstract The I-patch is a multi-sided surface representation, defined as a combination of implicit ribbon and bounding surfaces, whose pairwise intersections determine the natural boundaries of the patch. Our goal is to show how a collection of smoothly connected I-patches can be used to approximate triangular meshes. We start from a coarse, user-defined vertex graph which specifies an initial subdivision of the surface. Based on this, we create ribbons that tightly fit the mesh along its edges in both positional and tangential sense, then we optimize the free parameters of the patch to better approximate the interior. If the surfaces are not sufficiently accurate, the network needs to be refined; here we exploit that the I-patch construction naturally supports T-nodes. We also describe a normalization method that nicely approximates the Euclidean distance field, and can be efficiently evaluated. The capabilities and limitations of the approach are analyzed through several examples.

    Abstract Objective: During cardiovascular surgical skill training, the direct quantification regarding surgical performance is still lacking, including transferring clinically relevant information.
    Methods: We introduced a novel computational fluid dynamics-based method in support of vascular surgical hands-on training, which applies continuous self-assessment in vascular anastomoses. The validation of the methodology was implemented in comparing with conventional training courses.
    Results: The fifth and seventh consecutive anastomoses of the experimental group showed significantly improved results regarding anastomosis quality when compared with the control group.
    Conclusions: Consecutive demonstration of three-dimensional morphology and functional assessment of anastomoses results in improved practical performance among learners regarding anastomosis quality.

    Abstract Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) were found to readily deliver membrane impermeable, tetrazine bearing fluorescent probes into cells. This feature was explored in OATP3A1 conditioned bio-orthogonal labeling schemes of various intracellular proteins in live cells. Confocal microscopy and super-resolution microscopy (STED) studies have shown that highly specific and efficient staining of the selected intracellular proteins can be achieved with the otherwise non-permeable probes when OATP3A1 is present in the cell membrane of cells. Such a transport protein linked bio-orthogonal labeling scheme is believed to be useful in OATP3A1 activity-controlled protein expression studies in the future.

    Abstract We evaluated the differences in total polyphenol content (TPC) of beverages prepared by three methods (Hario V60, espresso and pour-over coffee) using single-origin beans roasted at four temperatures. The beans were roasted based on the degree of roasting: the lightest roasting had a final temperature of 204 °C (first roasting), a slightly darker roasting had a final temperature of 205 °C (second roasting), a dark roasting had a final temperature of 215 °C (third roasting) and the darkest roasting had a final temperature of 220 °C (fourth roasting). TPC in the beverage was highest for the Hario V60 for all temperatures, ranging from 32.0 to 46.8 mg GAE g–1 (gallic acid equivalent per 1 g of ground beans). The third roasting had the highest TPC, ranging from 34.6 to 46.8 mg GAE g–1 for all methods of preparation, whereas the content for the fourth roasting ranged from 28.6 to 32.3 mg GAE g–1. Our results indicated that the differences in TPC in the beverage depended on the preparation method (P < 0.001) and the degree of roasting (P < 0.001). The most nutritional coffee was prepared using the Hario V60 with the third roasting.

    Abstract In this study, we analyzed the potential associations of selected laboratory and anamnestic parameters, as well as 12 genetic polymorphisms (SNPs), with clinical COVID-19 occurrence and severity in 869 hospitalized patients. The SNPs analyzed by qPCR were selected based on population-wide genetic (GWAS) data previously indicating association with the severity of COVID-19. We confirmed the associations of disease with several clinical laboratory and anamnestic parameters and found an unexpected association between less severe disease and the loss of smell and taste. In most cases, selected SNP analysis supported earlier results by indicating genetic associations with hospitalization and disease severity, while the potential role of some previously unrecognized polymorphisms has also been observed. A genetic association was indicated between the presence of a reduced-function ABCG2 transporter variant and a less severe disease, which was also observed in diabetic patients. Our current results, which should be reinforced by larger studies, indicate that together with laboratory and anamnestic parameters, genetic polymorphisms may have predictive value for the clinical occurrence and severity of COVID-19.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of roasting on the contents of polyphenols (PPH), acrylamide (AA), and caffeine (CAF) and to analyze heavy metals in specialty coffee beans from Colombia (COL) and Nicaragua (NIC). Samples of NIC were naturally processed and COL was fermented anaerobically. Green beans from COL (COL-GR) and NIC (NIC-GR) were roasted at two levels, light roasting (COL-LIGHT and NIC-LIGHT) and darker roasting (COL-DARK and NIC-DARK), at final temperatures of 210 °C (10 min) and 215 °C (12 min), respectively. Quantitative analyses of PPH identified caffeoylquinic acids (CQA), feruloylquinic acids, and dicaffeoylquinic acids. Isomer 5-CQA was present at the highest levels and reached 60.8 and 57.7% in COL-GR and NIC-GR, 23.4 and 29.3% in COL-LIGHT and NIC-LIGHT, and 18 and 24.2% in COL-DARK and NIC-DARK, respectively, of the total PPH. The total PPH contents were highest in COL-GR (59.76 mg/g dry matter, DM). Roasting affected the contents of PPH, CAF, and AA (p < 0.001, p < 0.011 and p < 0.001, respectively). Nickel and cadmium contents were significantly higher in the COL-GR than in the NIC-GR beans. Darker roasting decreased AA content, but light roasting maintained similar amounts of CAF and total PPH.
