Femtosecond Laser Created Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments for Keratoconus

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser‐created corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (femto‐CAIRS) in keratoconic eyes using a newly described nomogram. Methods This retrospective case series recruited 85 eyes from 75 patients.

Effect of Riboflavin Deficiency on the Metabolism of Oxypurines in Chicks

, 1971
Day-old broiler chicks of both sexes were used in three experiments to determine the effect of riboflavin deficiency on oxypurine metabolism catalyzed by xanthine dehydrogenase, a riboflavin-containing enzyme.

Prurigo Pigmentosa – an increasingly diagnosed dermatological condition associated with ketogenic diet

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is a rare inflammatory dermatosis, clinically characterized by intensely pruritic, erythematous papules and papulovesicles, with reticular hyperpigmentation upon healing. We herein report four cases in adults of different ethnic backgrounds, in which the disease was associated with ketogenic metabolic states due to ...

Mild riboflavin deficiency is highly prevalent in school-age children but does not increase risk for anaemia in Côte d'Ivoire

, 2017
There are few data on the prevalence of riboflavin deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa, and it remains unclear whether riboflavin status influences the risk for anaemia.

An intronic variation in SLC52A1 causes exon skipping and transient riboflavin-responsive multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency

, 2017
Vitamin B2, riboflavin is essential for cellular function, as it participates in a diversity of redox reactions central to human metabolism, through its role as precursor for the cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD),

Comparative Study of Laboratory Diets for Piophila casei: Beneficial Effects of Infant Formula Supplementation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The infant formula‐based diet (F), the whole powder milk diet (P), and dry‐cured ham (H) were evaluated for rearing Piophila casei. H accelerated development, promoted earlier reproduction, and achieved the highest demographic performance but showed practical limitations linked to substrate deterioration. F enhanced larval survival and adult longevity,

Effects of riboflavin in children with complex II deficiency

, 2006
Isolated complex II deficiency is a rare cause of mitochondrial disease in infancy and childhood. No satisfactory treatment is currently available, and affected patients undergo a relentlessly progressive motor and mental deterioration.

Cytosolic delivery of bacterial metabolites by riboflavin transporters promotes MR1 antigen presentation and MAIT cell recognition

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
VitBAg antigen presentation is promoted through a cytosolic pathway that reaches ligand‐receptive MR1 to present to MAIT cells, like the riboflavin transport pathway. Riboflavin solute carrier transporters can promote this MR1 presentation, but they are not essential for this role, suggesting redundant pathways to uptake VitBAg.

Wolbachia-supplemented B-vitamins are critical for blood digestion in the bed bug Cimex lectularius

Scientific Reports
Wolbachia, a bacterial endosymbiont, acts as an obligate nutritional mutualist in the bed bug, Cimex lectularius. Wolbachia in C. lectularius (wCle) supplements B-vitamins, namely riboflavin (B2) and biotin (B7), which are deficient in the bed bug’s diet
