Beyond coffee production – Utilization of coffee residues
Different biomasses have been tested in the past for the production of platform chemicals which have the potential to substitute petroleum-based chemicals in chemical reactions. Predominant approaches thereby are the hydrolysis and subsequent conversion of hydrolytic products
Not remodeled left atria and mitral regurgitation: what learn from microstructure
Chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common type of heart valve disorder, frequently characterized by left atrial (LA) enlargement as a compensatory mechanism. This change in LA dimension may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF)
