Inadequate riboflavin intake and anemia risk in a Chinese population: five-year follow up of the Jiangsu Nutrition Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
OBJECTIVES: Riboflavin (vitamin B2) has been shown in animal studies to affect the absorption and metabolism of iron. Cross-sectional population studies show a relationship between riboflavin intake and anemia but prospective population studies are ...

Mixed Effect Modeling and Variable Selection for Quantile Regression [PDF]

, 2021
It is known that the estimating equations for quantile regression (QR) can be solved using an EM algorithm in which the M-step is computed via weighted least squares, with weights computed at the E-step as the expectation of independent generalized inverse-Gaussian variables.

Non-invasive detection of nanoscale structural changes in cornea associated with cross-linking treatment [PDF]

, 2020
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) using UVA irradiation with a riboflavin photosensitizer has grown from an interesting concept to a practical clinical treatment for corneal ectatic diseases globally, such as keratoconus. To characterize the corneal structural changes, existing methods such as X-ray microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM ...

Substrate and pH‐dependent homogeneous electrocatalysis using riboflavin for oxygen reduction

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 2, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
The electrocatalytic oxygen reduction using natural riboflavin in homogeneous solutions at various different pH levels showed a substantial increase in H2O2 production. Three different carbon‐based electrode materials were used. Abstract Homogeneous, aqueous solutions of the natural compound riboflavin were investigated for their electrocatalytic ...
