to evaluate the changes of abr values in hyperbilirubinemic newborns, 85 cases with severe jaundice (total bilirubin levels over 16 mg/dl and direct bilirubin less than 2 mg/dl) were selected from those admitted to children's medical center by simple sampling method. these infants had no other problem except jaundice. abr was taken before treatment in all cases and in some (10 cases) after...

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia in newborn is quite common. Phototherapy (PT) one of the most common noninvasive methods for treatment this hyperbilirubinemia. There are limited studies available on effect PT platelet count with contrasting results. So, study was conducted to determine phototherapy counts hyperbilirubinemic neonates tertiary care hospital. Methods: This a hospital based prospect...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the behavioral changes induced by moderate hyperbilirubinemia in the otherwise healthy, untreated newborn infant. METHODS Fifty term neonates (23 boys) with untreated moderate hyperbilirubinemia (median: 14.3 mg/dL; range: 13.2-20 mg/dL) and 50 matched control subjects with lower bilirubin concentrations (median: 9.1 mg/dL; range: 5.3-12 mg/dL) were administered the B...

Hyperbilirubinemia at neonatal period is one of the major deteriorating factors of the auditory system. If left untreated, it may cause certain cerebral damage. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hyperbilirubinemia on the hearing of neonate. This study was conducted on 35 newborn babies with jaundice (bilirubin more than 20 mg/dL). Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and transient evoked o...

bakground: phototherapy plays a significant role in the treatment and prevention of hyperbilirubinemia as well as the management of subsequent complications in the newborn.  however, this treatment modality may itself result in the development of hypocalcaemia and create serious complications including convulsion and related conditions.   objective: this study was under-taken to investigate pho...

On routine blood screens, persistent conjugated hyperbilirubinemia was discovered in two groups of closely related adult female golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia, n = 8). Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) retention tests were performed on four hyperbilirubinemic and three control tamarins. BSP excretion was delayed in hyperbilirubinemic tamarins as compared with controls. Grossly, li...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hyperbillirubinemia in infants have been associated with neuronal damage including in the auditory system. Some researchers have suggested that the bilirubin-induced auditory neuronal damages may be temporary and reversible. This study was aimed at investigating the auditory neuropathy and reversibility of auditory abnormalities in hyperbillirubinemic infants. SUBJEC...

Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most crucial syndromes, which is characterized by high levels of bilirubin, especially when it occurs in newborns. Bilirubin has cytoprotective properties with an antioxidant function and plays several major roles in the inflammation process with its members such as chemokines. The monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a member of the C-C chemokine famil...
