background: hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem of neonatal period and phototherapy serves as the effective method in treatment. despite its worldwide application, there are many unanswered questions regarding enhancement of its efficacy. the aim of present study was the comparison of intermittent versus continuous phototherapy and position change effect on treatment of term newborns with ja...

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common causes of neonatal morbidity and a global health priority. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intensive phototherapy on management of hyperbilirubinemia with different etiologies. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 219 neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia, who had the indication for photothera...

Background: Neonatal jaundice is a very common condition. Serious unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia may result in neurological dysfunction as catastrophic kernicterus. Phototherapy the method of choice treatment hyperbilirubinemia. Aim and objectives: aim study was to assess accuracy transcutaneous bilirubin measurement during phototherapy by using skin patch comparing this with serum at same tim...

Abstract Maternal antibody-mediated fetal red blood cell destruction secondary to non-D Rh system antibodies is a significant cause of hemolytic disease the fetus and newborn. Here, we report rare case severe perinatal associated with maternal antibody e antigen. In addition anemia, infant developed hyperbilirubinemia. Resolution infant’s anemia hyperbilirubinemia occurred after treatment photo...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of a microprocessed phototherapy (PT) system with five high intensity light emitting diodes (Super LED) for the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of premature infants. METHODS Randomized clinical trial using Super LED phototherapy in the study group and twin halogen spotlight phototherapy in the control group. A stratified blocked randomization, base...

BACKGROUND Phototherapy may have an adverse effect on the hemodynamics of preterm infants, and endothelin (ET) and nitric oxide (NO) are both the powerful vasoactive substances. This study was designed to observe the effect of phototherapy on blood levels of ET and NO in preterm infants. METHODS Sixty-four preterm infants with hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy were studied. Among them...
