Filter by:Neonatal Jaundice occurs in 60% of term infants and 80% of premature infants. Although it is transient, it is associated with high rate of readmission of patients in the first week of infancy. Neonatal jaundice can cause neurological complications and kernicterus. Considering the fact that there have been a lot of studies on probiotic role in management of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and few studies on their role in neonatal jaundice, we carried out this study to determine the efficacy and safety of probiotics in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in infants hospitalized in children hospital in Bandar Abbas.
Neonatal Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase(G6PD) Deficiency is one of the significant reason for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and even irreversible bilirubin encephalopathy.The neonates may be attacked due to acute infection, eating beans or exposure to oxidative drugs, etc. The main clinical manifestations are hemolytic anemia, and the resulting hyperbilirubinemia. When bilirubin is pretty high in body, bilirubin may spread into brain, and thus cause nervous system damage, and severely affect the prognosis of neonates. Therefore, monitoring and early intervention of jaundice has important significance to prevent further aggravation of jaundice and certain sequelae. Phototherapy and exchange transfusion are mainly suitable methods for severe hyperbilirubinemia, however, patients need to be hospitalized. Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine for jaundice. Many large sample and multicenter clinical studies show that the positive efficacy of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is exactly confirmed. The purpose of this study is try to detect the treatment effect of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid on indirect bilirubin in neonates with G-6-PD enzyme deficiency and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Try to provide scientific theories for Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid to treat neonates with G-6-PD enzyme deficiency and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Jaundice occurs in most newborn infants. Most jaundice is benign, but because of the potential toxicity of bilirubin, newborn infants must be monitored to identify those who might develop severe hyperbilirubinemia an, in rare cases, acute bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Jaundice is a commonly observed, usually harmless condition in newborn infants during the first week after birth. However, in some babies the amount of bilirubin pigment can increase to dangerous levels and require treatment. Treatment of jaundice in newborn infants is done by placing them under phototherapy, a process of exposing their skin to light of a specific wavelength band. Fluorescent tubes or halogen lamps have been used as light sources for phototherapy for many years. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a newer type of light source which is power efficient, has a longer life and is portable with low heat production. Several technologies and devices are developed around this LED and specially a compact system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacity of LED phototherapy by comparing with conventional phototherapy (non-LED) and satisfaction of the parents and the professional staff about comfort of this new technology. The newborn infant is placed in a sleeper with the device B' bloo ® which maintains him in position (lap or dorsal) allowing to pass the blue light. This one is generated by the module LED and transmitted in the braid of optical fibers which takes place directly on the mattress of the cradle in which is placed the patient usually. The device is endowed with an hour counter to schedule the time of treatment. The energy illumination varies between 3 and 4 mW / cm ² for an average 3,6 mW / cm ².
Cycled (intermittent) phototherapy will be compared to continuous (uninterrupted) phototherapy in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia (newborn jaundice) in extremely low birth weight newborns in a pilot randomized controlled trial. Hypothesis: Cycled phototherapy (PT) will provide the same benefits as continuous phototherapy in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants without the risks that have been associated with continuous phototherapy.
This study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia following major cardiac or thoracic aorta surgery, and to determine the clinical impacts of the hyperbilirubinemia on postoperative mortality and morbidity.
Indirect hyperbilirubinemia is frequently observed in premature infants.Probiotics are favorable microorganisms that regulate the flora of the gastrointestinal system. In this study we aimed to compare the effect of S. boulardii on severity of hyperbilirubinemia and duration of phototherapy on very low birth weight infants.
In this, here we want to present a new method for analysis variation in gene copy number for patients and carriers of SMA. This is a relative quantitation method and, therefore, relies on the inclusion of one or more internal control or reference sequences; quantitation of DNA is relative to this reference sequence of known copy number. A peak height from within a potentially duplicated or deleted target region is amplified simultaneously with a disomic reference region in a multiplex PCR system.
