Glomerular filtration rate dynamics in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma during induction immunopolychemotherapy by A. S. Nozdricheva, I. B. Lysenko, N. K. Guskova, M. A. Konovalchik, A. A. Maslov, E. V. Shalashnaya

“…The study found that in patients with initially low GFR level, a further, even more pronounced decrease in GFR during pct is observed. at the same time, the absence of significant differences in GFR level depending on disease stage allows us to conclude that the leading role is not so much the stage of the disease and tumor volume, but rather the initial functional status of the kidneys in the development of renal dysfunction in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma during R-CHOP therapy.…”

Different methods of estimating riverbed sediment grain size diverge at the basin scale by Peter Regier, Yunxiang Chen, Kyongho Son, Jie Bao, Brieanne Forbes, Amy Goldman, Matt Kaufman, Matt Kaufman, Kenton A. Rod, James Stegen, James Stegen

“…IntroductionThe distribution of sediment grain size in streams and rivers is often quantified by the median grain size (D50), a key metric for understanding and predicting hydrologic and biogeochemical function of streams and rivers. Manual D50 measurements are time-consuming and ignore larger grains, while approaches to model D50 based on catchment characteristics may over-generalize and miss site-scale heterogeneity. …”
