Filter by:The hemolytic disease of newborns (HDN) is one of the most significant risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia. Studies have shown that end-tidal carbon monoxide-corrected (ETCOc) correlated with the rate of bilirubin production in the body and thus can be a good surrogate to quantify hemolysis and identifying the high-risk infants. However, there is insufficient clinical evidence regarding the early prediction of hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia using ETCOc. This study hypothesizes that early postnatal ETCOc levels are significantly associated with the risk of hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatments within 14 days after birth, and early postnatal ETCOc can be a good indicator for early prediction of hemolysis. In addition, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of treatments for hyperbilirubinemia and ETCOc.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the performance of Picterus Jaundice Pro in an American population, including preterm and term newborns and pre- and post- phototherapy.
Before birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid and babies do not use the lungs to breathe, as the oxygen comes from the placenta. As delivery approaches, the lungs begin to absorb the fluid. After vaginal delivery, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after a delay that allows some of the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta to flow back into the baby. Meanwhile, as the baby breathes for the first time, the lungs fill with air and more fluid is pushed out. However, it does not always work out that way. A baby born prematurely may have breathing problems because of extra fluid staying in the lungs related to the immaturity of the lung structure. Thus, the baby must breathe quicker and harder to get enough oxygen enter into the lungs. The newborn is separated from the mother to provide emergency respiratory support. Although the baby is usually getting better within one or two days, the treatment requires close monitoring, breathing help, and nutritional help as the baby is too tired to suck and swallow milk. Sometimes, the baby cannot recover well and show greater trouble breathing needing intensive care. This further separates the mother and her baby. A possible mean to help the baby to adapt better after a premature birth while staying close to the mother is to delay cord clamping when efficient breathing is established, either spontaneously or after receiving breathing help at birth. In this study, we intend to test this procedure in moderate or late preterm infants and see whether the technique helps the baby to better adapt after birth and to better initiate a deep bond with the mother.
The performance and accuracy of the smartphone application (app) Picterus Jaundice Pro (PicterusJP) will be validated by a cross-sectional study conducted in low resource settings in Mexico. Physics-based and machine learning-based models will be used to analyze the images obtained with the app and its performance will be compared.
Investigating the efficacy, safety, and molecular mechanism of both N-acetylcysteine and Pentoxifylline supplementation in improving elevated direct bilirubin level and liver function tests in patients with hepatic and post-hepatic jaundice.
This study aimed to examine the effect of white cover and massage application on newborns' bilirubin level and duration of phototherapy in newborns receiving phototherapy.
This study prospectively explores antimicrobial resistance in patients with acute cholangitis undergoing ERCP procedures. By analyzing patient profiles, microbial cultures, and treatment outcomes, the current study seeks to identify specific patterns of resistance, assess the effectiveness of current antimicrobial therapies, and explore potential strategies to optimize treatment regimens.
In this study, a single non-invasive tool, spleen stiffness measurement (SSM), was used to monitor the disease regression of inpatients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and acute liver injury. The present study aimed to establish an early diagnosis warning model for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) by SSM and investigate the effect of dynamic changes in SSM on the short-term prognosis (28-day, 90-day morbidity and mortality) of inpatients with CLD and acute liver injury.
The goal of this observational study is to detect the methylation characteristics of cfDNA in the bile and plasma of patients with bile duct stricture. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the developed model, using peripheral blood and bile cell-free DNA sequencing, work well in screening and classifying unknown biliary stricture? Participants will collect approximately 10ml of peripheral blood and 5ml of bile from the patient.
The study is a prospective evaluation of the microbial assessment in patients undergoing to ERC with naive papilla; the population includes all the indication to biliary drainage.
