Green or blue light phototherapy for neonates with hyperbilirubinaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 262 neonates were treated with green (350-650 nm) or blue (300-600 nm) light phototherapy for a similar length of time. There was no significant difference in the rate of bilirubin photodegradation between the groups.

متن کاملProspective randomized controlled study comparing low-cost LED and conventional phototherapy for treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Our objective was to carry out a prospective, randomized, single-blind study to evaluate whether light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy using a low-cost set of lights is as effective as conventional phototherapy in treating hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. The study included 45 pre-term neonates requiring phototherapy as per American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines; participants were randomize...

AIM To determine the incidence of post-phototherapy neonatal plasma total bilirubin (PTB) rebound. METHODS A prospective clinical survey was performed on 226 term and near-term neonates treated with phototherapy in the well baby nursery of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center from January 2001 to September 2002. Neonates were tested for PTB 24 hours (between 12 and 36 hours) after discontinuation ...
متن کاملData in support of effect of blue LED irradiation in human lymphoma cells
As a new and preferred light source for phototherapy, blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) with wavelengths of 400-500 nm have been used to treat hyperbilirubinaemia in infantile jaundice [1]. Recent studies report that blue LED irradiation induces apoptosis by stimulating a mitochondrial pathway and reduces the early growth rate of melanoma cells in mice [2]. Here, we detected the induction of ap...
متن کاملPredicting significant hyperbilirubinaemia and early discharge for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient newborns.
INTRODUCTION This study aims to assess the usefulness of day 3 (49 to 72 hours) pre-phototherapy total serum bilirubin (TSB) in predicting subsequent significant hyperbilirubinaemia (SHB) and the feasibility of early discharge for term and near-term glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient newborns. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study involved in born G6PD deficient ...
