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.

Riboflavin - properties, occurrence and its use in medicine
Pteridines, 2019 Riboflavin is built on an isoalloxazin ring, which contains three sixcarbon rings: benzoic, pyrazine and pyrimidine. Riboflavin is synthesized by some bacteria, but among humans and animals, the only source of flavin coenzymes (FAD, FMN) is exogenous ...

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 ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.
