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...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland has been encountered in 11 patients at the University of Michigan Medical Center since 1936. At the time of presentation the average age was 48.9 years, the lesion size was between 0.5 to 4 cm. The presenting symptoms were pain and/or pruritis associated with a solitary mass.

VIDAL (1886) first described cataract in young patients subject to attacks of pruritis followed by lichenification and associated with asthma. Andogsky (1914) described four cases of unclassified skin disease with cataract as 'dermatogenous cataract', and Kugelberg (1934) used the term 'syndermatotic juvenile cataract'. Brunsting (1936) reported ten cases of atopic dermatitis with juvenile cata...

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) is the result of long-standing damage to intra-hepatic biliary channels as a result of immune mechanisms leading to cholestasis and its associated complications. It can end up in chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. It usually manifests as pruritis that then proceeds to fatigue, jaundice and other features of chronic liver disease. It is detected by raised serolog...

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic immune-mediated disease affecting intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts, primarily the large biliary ducts. Clinical manifestations are broad, and the spectrum encompasses asymptomatic cholestasis, icteric cholangitis with pruritis, cirrhosis, and cholangiocarcinoma. Though rare, PSC has a propensity to affect young to middle-aged males and is stro...
