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 ...

Whether to measure Lp(a), a lipoprotein associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and how to use that information in risk assessment is a hot topic in cardiovascular medicine. The American Heart ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...

For more than 250 years, mathematicians have wondered if the Euler equations might sometimes fail to describe a fluid’s flow. A new computer-assisted proof marks a major breakthrough in that quest.

Two mathematicians prove that under certain extreme conditions, the Navier-Stokes equations output nonsense. The Navier-Stokes equations capture in a few succinct terms one of the most ubiquitous ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
