The Du Pont aca “NBIL” test (Du Pont Instruments, Wilmington, DE 19898) also measures bilirubin spectrophotometrically. Figure 2 shows an approximate linear relationship between “apparent” biliburin concentration, as measured with the Bilirubin Stat-Analyzer and the aca NBIL test, vs Liposyn concentration in a neonatal serum sample. This sample without added Liposyn gave identical total bilirub...

Introduction . Keywords, reflecting the main content of article, play an extremely important role in search for scientific papers databases. Together with title and abstract, keywords provide primary information about study. Selecting extracting effective is a time-consuming process, so its optimization requires further studying. Purpose.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency is frequently associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, which in severe cases may cause kernicterus and death. Because G-6-PD-deficient individuals frequently undergo acute, trigger-induced hemolytic episodes, increased hemolysis has frequently been implied in the pathogenesis of this neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. ...

Abstract Backgrond: Drug abuse, especially opium abuse, is a major public health problem in Iran. Recent reports suggest that opium sellers cheat their customers by adding lead to the opium. Contaminated opium can threaten the health of consumers. The present study aimed to compare the serum level of lead between opium dependents and a control group. Methods: This was a cross-sectio...

Background: Neonates affected by hereditary spherocytosis may suffer from significant jaundice. This study was conducted on neonates with jaundice hospitalized at the Children’s Hospital in Bandar Abbas, South Iran, to determine the frequency of hereditary spherocytosis among them. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 814 neonates with jaundice hospitalized at the Children’s ...

Although phototherapy was introduced as early as 1950's, the potential biological effects of bilirubin photoisomers (PI) generated during phototherapy remain unclear. The aim of our study was to isolate bilirubin PI in their pure forms and to assess their biological effects in vitro. The three major bilirubin PI (ZE- and EZ-bilirubin and Z-lumirubin) were prepared by photo-irradiation of unconj...
