Hemobilia is caused by the abnormal connection between a blood vessel and the bile duct, which is usually iatrogenic and caused by hepatobiliary procedures. The classic triad of hemobilia includes biliary colic, obstructive jaundice, and gastrointestinal bleeding. We present the case of an 80-year-old man who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy complicated by hemobilia. He had an unusual presentat...

BACKGROUND Delay in the presentation of infants with jaundice at the hospital is a reason for the persistence of the severe forms of jaundice. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine the influence of maternal knowledge on newborn jaundice on their care-seeking practices. METHODS In a cross-sectional survey, mothers whose infants presented with significant hyperbilirubinemia were assessed for kno...

Objective: To investigate the major causes and current management of hyperbilirubinemia in full-term newborns in a general hospital. Methods: The clinical and laboratory data of 1,455 full-term newborns with hyperbilirubinemia in the department of neonatology were collected for retrospective and descriptive analysis. Univariate logistic analysis was used to compare the risk factors for hyperbil...

Detailed clinical observations by Hench (1933, 1934) established that hepatogenous jaundice ameliorated rheumatoid arthritis and fibrositis. Reports followed of remissions attending jaundice induced by the injection of bile salts and bilirubin (Thompson and Wyatt, 1938), by inoculation with infectious jaundice (Gardner, Stewart, and MacCallum, 1945), and by lactophenin (Hanssen, 1942), in addit...

Objective: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) was reported to be correlated with the time of phototherapy for babies with neonatal jaundice in the previous studies. The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of KMC on phototherapy for neonatal jaundice. Methods: 216 newborn babies with neonatal jaundice were collected in this study and randomly divided into KMC group and control group. 1...

OBJECTIVES To study (i) the incidence and course of jaundice, and (ii) the predictors of significant jaundice in late preterm infants. DESIGN Prospective analytical study. SETTING Urban perinatal center. PATIENTS Inborn late preterm infants (post menstrual age of 34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks). METHODS Infants were followed till day 14 of life or till onset of significant jaundice. Relevant ma...

Infantile spasms is an epileptic encephalopathy of early infancy with specific clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) features, limited treatment options, and a poor prognosis. Efforts to develop improved treatment options have been hindered by the lack of experimental models in which to test prospective therapies. The neuropeptide adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is effective in many cas...

hemangioma is the most common benign cutaneous vascular tumor in infants and children. the hemangioma incidence in the neonates is 2% to 3% that increases to 10% in those younger than one year of age. before introduction of propranolol in 2008, different medications such as systemic corticosteroids and vincristine, with different side effects, were used for years. since then, over 200 studies c...

the role of enterotoxigenic e.coli as a causative agent in diarrheal disease was studied among 100 cases of infant and children 0-2 years of age. routine bacteriological methods were used for identification enteropathogenic e.coli, salmonella, shigella and vibrio cholera. the ability of e.coli strains to produce toxin was assayed in animal models (rebbit-ileal loop and suckling mice) and in tis...
