Best-fitting prediction equations for basal metabolic rate: informing obesity interventions in diverse populations

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) represents the largest component of total energy expenditure and is a major contributor to energy balance. Therefore, accurately estimating BMR is critical for developing ...

New Creatinine- and Cystatin C–Based Equations to Estimate GFR without Race

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations Overestimate Renal Function Compared With Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate Using 24-Hour Urine Creatinine Clearance

eGFR equations significantly overestimate renal function in patients with renal masses when compared with 24-hour CrCl-derived measured GFR, particularly near clinically meaningful thresholds. This ...

Practical equations calculate gas flow rates through venturi valves

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...
