Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is

The eGFR-C study: accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using creatinine and cystatin C and albuminuria for monitoring disease progression in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease - prospective longitudinal study in a multiethnic population [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Uncertainty exists regarding the optimal method to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for disease detection and monitoring. Widely used GFR estimates have not been validated in British ethnic minority populations.

Dead-end filtration of yeast suspensions: correlating specific resistance and flux data using artificial neural networks [PDF]
, 2006 The specific cake resistance in dead-end filtration is a complex function of suspension properties and operating conditions. In this study, the specific resistance of resuspended dried bakers yeast suspensions was measured in a series of 150 experiments ...

Mechanism for pressure drop variation caused by filtration of diesel particulates [PDF]
, 2021 Diesel engines have better fuel consumption efficiency than gasoline engines. To reduce the particle emission in the diesel exhaust, a ceramic filter, called diesel particulate filter, has been developed.

Actual and Model-Predicted Growth of Sponges—With a Bioenergetic Comparison to Other Filter-Feeders
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Sponges are one of the earliest-evolved and simplest groups of animals, but they share basic characteristics with more advanced and later-evolved filter-feeding invertebrates, such as mussels.

Normal chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by filtration leucapheresis [PDF]
, 1977 The chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by the Terumo Filtration Leucapheresis System (F.L.) was examined by the method of Boyden's chamber. The number of cells migrating through the Millipore filter was expressed as the chemotactic activity ...
