Background: Several factors contribute to the effectiveness of phototherapy. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC) and field massage on bilirubin level of term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia under phototherapy in the neonatal ward. Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was performed on 90 term neonates aged 48 hours with hyperbilirubinemia, hospita...
Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis. UVB treatment typically requires patients to visit an outpatient clinic two to three times per week during business hours, a schedule which can be impractical for some individuals. Depending on a patient's insurance coverage, outpatient phototherapy can be expensive. In these situations, home UV...
Phototherapy has reached new heights with the technological breakthroughs of the past four decades, such as using lasers as the light sources, and nanoparticles as the sensitizers. Phototherapy has been commonly employed in either diagnosis or therapeutics lately. Phototherapy demonstrates excellent results in targeting the cause of many diseases. It functions by immunologically delivering and ...
OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of phototherapy on the oxygen consumption and resting energy expenditure of term and preterm newborn infants. METHODS A total of 202 infants (gestation 30-42 weeks; body weight 1270-4100 g) requiring phototherapy for the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia were enrolled in a randomised crossover study. In random sequence, the oxygen consumption and res...
A comparative pilot study was conducted to determine the difference in the reduction of total serum bilirubin in a group of infants who had phototherapy at home compared to an in-patient group on hospital phototherapy. Eighteen infants with unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia who fitted the selection criteria were put under the mobile home unit (Bluelite Portable Light) placed in the home. A contr...
OBJECTIVE To study the plasma human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA levels of 12 patients seropositive for HIV who were undergoing UV-B phototherapy to determine if UV-B phototherapy upregulates HIV activity in humans. DESIGN A self-controlled prospective cohort of HIV-infected patients seen for the treatment of a skin disorder responsive to UV-B phototherapy. Viral levels were meas...
OBJECTIVE To compare transcutaneous bilirubin with total serum bilirubin in preterm neonates after initiation of phototherapy. METHODS Jaundice was assessed in 30 preterm neonates with transcutaneous bilirubin and total serum bilirubin before initiation of phototherapy and at 12 hr after initiation of phototherapy. A photo-occlusive patch was applied over the sternum. RESULTS Transcutaneous...
Twenty patients with photodermatoses [actinic prurigo (n = 6), hydroa vacciniforme (n = 4), idiopathic solar urticaria (n = 1), amiodarone-induced photosensitivity (n = 1) and a range of cutaneous porphyrias (n = 8)] were treated with a 'hardening' course of narrow-band ultraviolet B (TL-01) phototherapy in springtime. The response to phototherapy was monitored subjectively, by interviewing pat...
OBJECTIVE In 1994, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a practice guideline with age-specific thresholds for phototherapy for healthy term newborns with hyperbilirubinemia. The purpose of this study was to examine adherence to the guideline in a large managed care organization. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of linked computerized databases from 1...
The objective is to study the effect of phototherapy on serum calcium in neonates. A Cross sectional study was performed in a Tertiary care centre, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. Study group includes neonates with hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy and control group include neonates having hyperbilirubinemia in physiological range. Study group and control group includes 60 and 30 neonat...
