Background The most commonly used treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) are phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Among the drug therapy for NH less has been paid to the effect of zinc administration on serum bilirubin level (SBL). This study was carried out to determine the on the effect of oral zinc sulfate on the SBL in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Materials and Methods I...

The accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements obtained with a Bilicheck device in 70 preterm neonates before phototherapy and during phototherapy from the exposed and unexposed skin of the forehead (under the eye patch) was evaluated by comparing the TcB with the total serum bilirubin (TSB) that was performed within +/- 30 minutes of the TcB measurements. The correlation and propo...

With the advent of Micro‐LED technology, light source has been widely used in medical technology due to its unique superior performance. In field phototherapy, characteristics wide spectral range, good monochromaticity, low power consumption and high brightness, which become best choice for phototherapy technology. this paper, we analyze advantage optimized eye mask, mainly treating periocular ...

Introduction:The aim of this study is to compare significant post-phototherapy bilirubin rebound in two groups of neonates, with two levels of bilirubin, at discontinuation of phototherapy. Materials and Methods:One hundred and fifteen neonates ≥35 weeks of gestationl age (GA), admitted due to hyperbilirubinemia in the Neonatal Ward of Valiasr Hospital, were randomly divided into two groups: gr...

Background: Human Adenovirus species D (HAdV-D) was common human viral pathogen especially in eye infection, consists of several types of which HAdV-D8, -D19 and –D37 were common in eye infection. This study includes detection of HAdV-D types implicated in conjunctivitis based on L2 (Penton protein) gene similarity. Methods: Conjunctival swabs were collected from Keratoconjunctivitis patient...

the province of rudsar is located in the caspian littoral zone of iran. in 1970 an ophthalmic health survey was carried out in 25 units, which were selected by random sampling in these areas. a total of 2,165 persons were examined and the results of this evaluation have been prepared in 6 parts, consisting of ophthalmic conditions and health customs, infectious eye diseases, visual status and d...

Objective: Neonatal  jaundice (NJ)  is  one of the  most  common  cause  of  neonatal  hospital  admission.  Phototherapy is the main therapy for hyperbilirubinemia of neonatal jaundice. The efficacy of phototherapy depends on the dose and wavelength of light used and the surface area exposed. We  increased  photons  in  mirror  covered  tunnel  phototherapy  (MCTP)  by  putting  mirrors behind...
