Filter by:This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group superiority clinical trial among 94 pregnant women (47 in each group) to investigate the effect of maternal perinatal probiotic supplementation on neonatal jaundice, breast milk microbiome, maternal stool, and infant fecal microbiome. Vivomixx®-probiotic product will be used as treatment and placebo as a control.
Describe demographic and clinical data of neonates & childern with (PNNJ) admitted to neonatology , hepatology & hematology units of Assiut university children hospital(AUCH). Describe the distribution of etiologies of (PNNG) in neonates & children at AUCH. Assess the outcome of (PNNJ) in neonates & childern admitted to AUCH .
The goal of this observational study is to compare the effectiveness and efficiency for precaution of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonate by different follow-up methods of neonatal jaundice. There are two kinds of follow-up methods in the investigators clinical practice. The one is internet plus follow-up model, the other is conventional clinic follow-up method. Parents of the participant neonates can choose one by themselves. After parents of the participant signed informed consent, the investigators recorded several information including severe hyperbilirubinemia, length of phototherapy, follow-up times, et al. Then the investigators analysed these data in order to know what kind of follow-up method is better to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and more easy to be accepted.
Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a common condition in newborns during the first week of life due to increased levels of bilirubin. Usually, it resolves without consequences after 7 to 10 days. However, around 10% of the newborns develop a severe form, which if is not detected on time, can lead to irreversible consequences including brain damage, disabilities and even death. The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of implementing a smartphone app (Picterus JP) to screen for NNJ in low resource health facilities in Mexico and to evaluate its potential effectiveness to detect severe cases of the condition compared to the current used method that consists in visual assessment (VA). Research questions are: 1. Is it feasible to implement the smartphone app Picterus JP to screen for NNJ in low resource health facilities in Mexico? 2. Will Picterus JP increase the detection of severe NNJ compared to VA? Participants will include: 1. Newborns who attend the health facilities for neonatal check up 2. Health care workers (HCWs) using the app 3. Parents of newborns screened with Picterus JP Methodology: Mothers will be asked to consent their newborn's participation. The newborns will be then randomly assigned to either: 1. control group in which jaundice will be screened by healthcare workers using VA or 2. intervention group in which jaundice will be screened using Picterus JP in addition to VA If the bilirubin measurement with Picterus is >15 mg/dl or there is suspicion of severe NNJ by VA, newborns will be referred to emergency room for further evaluation by a doctor and/or measure the level of bilirubin in blood. Researchers will compare the number of bilirubin blood levels >15 mg/dl between the two groups. HCWs and newborns' parents will be interviewed to identify their perceptions and experiences towards the use of the app.
This is a validation study involving the Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care bilirubin measuring device. The validation will be conducted by comparing bilirubin measurements utilizing the standard-of-care blood sample collected for both a diagnostic reference device and Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care device. Whole blood samples collected from male or female newborns (<2-weeks of age) born at a Kettering Health Network facility to obtain a total of 80 valid comparison pairs between the reference device and the Bilistick System 2.0 point-of-care device with current laboratory standards.

This study will be conducted as a relational descriptive study to determine the health literacy level of parents with infants between 0-28 days of age regarding neonatal jaundice. The secondary aim of the study is to examine whether the health literacy levels of the parents differ with parent and infant descriptive characteristics and their knowledge about neonatal jaundice. In this study, answers to the following questions were sought. 1. What is the level of knowledge about neonatal jaundice among parents with infants between 0-28 days? 2. What is the level of health literacy of parents with infants between 0-28 days of age and is there a relationship between parent, infant identifying characteristics and knowledge about neonatal jaundice?
The overall aim of this study is to verify the quality of our internal developed camera validation systems and allow the use of Picterus JP on all smartphones.
Obstructive jaundice is observed in 10-80 % of gallstone disease cases. The conventional tactics for the management of patients with obstructive jaundice is to remove biliary hypertension by using endoscopic or minimally invasive methods. The final surgical treatment is performed after jaundice reduction and normalization of hepatic functions. We suppose that the administration of the drug Remaxol (Inosine + Meglumine + Methionine + Nicotinamide + Succinic acid) during the perioperative period shortens jaundice duration and decreases the complications rate.
This study was done to evaluate the diagnostic statistics of MDCT and its features in the assessment of obstructive jaundice in reference to surgical or histopathological diagnosis.
