Standalone ultrasound-based highly visualized volumetric spine imaging for surgical navigation by Xinben Hu, Tianjian Liu, Zhengyuan Zhang, Xuan Xiao, Lin Chen, Gao Wei, Yunjiang Wang, Keji Yang, Haoran Jin, Yongjian Zhu

“…Furthermore, SUIGS yielded comparable results to three-dimensional fluoroscopy guidance in intraoperative intraspinal tumor localization and reduced the procedure to 8 min. This study explored and broadened the clinical application of standalone US navigation by providing intraoperative high-visualized volumetric spinal imaging, which is expected to increase the likelihood of surgeons adopting it in practice to reduce the occurrence of wrong-site surgery.…”

Toxicological Risk Assessment of Coffee Oil (Coffee Seed Oil and Spent Coffee Grounds Oil) as a Novel Food with Focus on Cafestol by Bernadette Maier, Heike Franke, Steffen Schwarz, Dirk W. Lachenmeier

“…In summary, the assessment based on the published data indicates that (i) the consumption of coffee oil contained in any type of prepared coffee appears to be safe because the homeostasis of lipid levels in the blood is not significantly affected, and (ii) a low consumption of coffee oil as such might be acceptable but would require a refined risk assessment considering the exposure levels of the intended food product, which must be provided for novel food approval procedures.…”
