Serum Bilirubin of Preterm Infants
Carswell, F., Kerr, M. M., and Dunsmore, I. R. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 021. Sequential trial of effect of phenobarbitone on serum bilirubin of preterm infants. (1) Phenobarbitone in a dose of 8 mg/kg per day was given in twice-daily intramuscular doses to preterm infants with a gestational age of 36 completed weeks or less. The phenobarbitone was started within the first 2...
متن کاملLutein and Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants
Carotenoids are pigments naturally occurring in plants, particularly in dark-green leafy vegetables such as raw spinach and cooked kale, and they have many functions in human tissues. Lutein is the dominant carotenoid found in adult and in infant brain especially in the neocortex and in the neural retina, however diet intake is needed because it cannot be synthesized in the body (Costa et al., ...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin after phototherapy in term and preterm infants.
OBJECTIVES To compare transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) readings with total serum bilirubin (TSB) after phototherapy, estimating the range of TcB where confirmation through blood sampling can be avoided. METHODS Preterm and term neonates receiving in-hospital phototherapy underwent TcB measurements (device JM-103, TcB) alongside routine TSB before and after treatment. We calculated time-dependen...
متن کاملBilirubin Neurotoxicity in Preterm Infants: Risk and Prevention
Hemolytic conditions in preterm neonates, including Rhesus (Rh) disease, can lead to mortality and long-term impairments due to bilirubin neurotoxicity. Universal access to Rh immunoprophylaxis, coordinated perinatal-neonatal care, and effective phototherapy has virtually eliminated the risk of kernicterus in many countries. In the absence of jaundice due to isoimmunization and without access t...
متن کاملPlasma bilirubin level and oxidative stress in preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE To assess the hypothesis that changes in plasma total bilirubin levels (Btot) can influence the antioxidant system and oxidative stress in preterm infants. METHODS Twenty two healthy preterm infants who presented with visible non-haemolytic hyperbilirubinaemia were studied at the mean (SD) age of 3.7 (1.5) days. Btot, plasma total hydroperoxide concentration (TH), plasma protein SH ...
