OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the probable relationship between the accumulation of oxLDL and hepatic fibrogenesis in cholestatic rats. INTRODUCTION There is growing evidence to support the current theories on how oxidative stress that results in lipid peroxidation is involved in the pathogenesis of cholestatic liver injury and fibrogenesis. One of the major and early ...

Two hundred and thirty-two patients subjected to open-heart surgery have been analysed regarding early post-operative jaundice. The overall incidence of jaundice was 13%, being 55% where the mitral valve and 5% where the aortic valve was predominantly involved. Only one out of 59 patients in whom a congenital lesion was repaired became jaundiced. Hyperbilirubinaemia without jaundice was common....

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with less than 9% survival rates. Ductal Adeno Carcinoma (PDAC) common general public affecting most people older 45. Early detection PDAC often challenging because symptoms will progress only at later stages (advanced stage). One earlier Jaundice. Patients diabetes, obesity, and alcohol consumption are also higher risk having pancreatic cancer...

Objective Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency increases the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The aim this study is to evaluate factors associated with hyperbilirubinemia in infants from western part Guangdong Province, and assess contribution G6PD jaundice. Methods term People's Hospital Yangjiang June 2018 July 2022 were recruited for retrospective analysis. All underwent q...

BACKGROUND In many resource-limited settings, the availability of effective phototherapy for jaundiced infants is frequently hampered by lack of, or inadequate resources to acquire and maintain conventional electric-powered phototherapy devices. This study set out to ascertain maternal experience and satisfaction with a novel treatment of infants with significant hyperbilirubinemia using filter...

BACKGROUND Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common causes for hospital admission in neonatal infants. Previous studies have found that jaundice may be one of the initial symptoms related to urinary tract infection (UTI) in infants. This study is to evaluate the incidence and related factors of neonatal infants with the initial presentation of hyperbilirubinemia and final diagnosis of UTI i...

BACKGROUND Biliary obstruction impairs liver function although the pathophysiological mechanism is incompletely understood. AIMS The aim of this study was to examine serial changes in liver metabolism in patients with obstructive jaundice using image guided in vivo 31-phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P MRS). This technique allows repeated and non-invasive assay of organ energy ...
