In this report, we review a number of procedures and devices that are used to diagnose and quantify the severity levels of two ubiquitous medical conditions, anemia and bilirubinemia (jaundice). Both conditions are associated with changes in the contents of specific chromophores present in the blood, more specifically hemoglobin present in the red blood cells (RBCs) and biliribin found in the p...

PURPOSE We sought to report outcomes and toxicity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received resin yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy ((90)Y-SIRT) and to identify factors associated with declining liver function. METHODS Patients treated with (90)Y-SIRT were retrospectively evaluated. Radiographic response was assessed using RECIST 1.1. Median liver progression-...

OBJECTIVE To report on an infrequent association of pathologies causing considerable increase in bilirubin production and a significant decrease in its excretion. DESCRIPTION The third pregnancy of an RhD negative woman. Her first child was normal and delivered to term and did not receive Rhogam. The second pregnancy was problematic due to Rh isoimmunization. She delivered a child to term, wh...

in this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and obtain related results. then we classify this notion according to level sets. after that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper k-ideals. finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

Hyper-tubes consisting of hyper-cubes of n-dimensions were designed and formulas for substructures of vary dimensions established.

A number of factors may lead to inaccuracy in measurement of capillary blood glucose with a glucometer. Measurement of other carbohydrate molecules such as galactose and fructose along with glucose can potentially be a cause of error. We report a newborn patient who was referred to our hospital with conjugated bilirubinemia, hepatomegaly and high capillary blood glucose levels measured with a g...

Pruritus is usually a major complaint of patients with biliary cirrhosis. This symptom can be so severe and unremitting that the patient may contemplate suicide (1). When there is interference with normal excretion of bile, as in biliary cirrhosis and other forms of bile stasis, itching may be aa early and persistent symptom. There appears to be a lack of correlation between degree of bilirubin...

controlled with medication presented to emergency department with complain of one week abdominal pain, vomiting and anorexia. Two weeks prior to her presentation she was hospitalize in periphery hospital with diagnosis of pancreatitis. She was managed conservatively at surgical ward and discharge in stable condition. She was planned for interval cholecystectomy. At her presentation she wasn’t a...

Evaluation of the neonates for jaundice and kernicterus is indispensable when early hospital discharge has become standard practice. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement is an advantageous option because of its non-invasive nature and the possibility of its use near the patient. The point of care device BiliCheck has been compared in numerous instances to serum bilirubin. However, its cli...
