Neurodevelopment after moderate hyperbilirubinemia at term

Intermittent versus continuous phototherapy for the treatment of non-hemolytic moderate hyperbilirubinemia in term infants: a randomized controlled trial

Background: Phototherapy is the most effective treatment for neonatal jaundice and intermittent phototherapy is as effective as continuous phototherapy but with fewer complications and more benefits. This study compared the hospital length of stay, duration of phototherapy and the reducing rate of total serum bilirubin after 24 and 36 hours of phototherapy in two groups. Methods: The current d...

Effect of Low versus Moderate Dose of Clofibrate on Serum Bilirubin in Healthy Term Neonates with Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia

Neurodevelopment after fetal growth restriction.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) can emerge as a complication of placental dysfunction and increases the risk for neurodevelopmental delay. Marked elevations of umbilical artery (UA) Doppler resistance that set the stage for cardiovascular and biophysical deterioration with subsequent preterm birth characterize early-onset FGR. Minimal, or absent UA Doppler abnormalities and isolated cerebral Dop...

Moderate Hyperbilirubinemia Improves Renal Hemodynamics in Angiotensin Ii Dependent Hypertension

Moderate hyperbilirubinemia improves renal hemodynamics in ANG II-dependent hypertension.

We have previously demonstrated that moderate hyperbilirubinemia decreases blood pressure in ANG II-dependent hypertension through mechanisms that decrease oxidative stress and increase nitric oxide levels. Since decreases in renal hemodynamics play an important role in mediating the hypertensive actions of ANG II, the goal of the present study was to examine the effect of moderate hyperbilirub...
