Prolonged icterus is an important and common problem in neonatology and accurate determination of the different bilirubin species, including differentiation between delta-bilirubin and mono- and di-co...
Although neonatal jaundice is a ubiquitous and predominantly benign phenomenon, the risk of neurotoxicity exists in a number of infants with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Plotting bilirubin values ...
TcB measurements were taken in infants at ages ranging from 0 to 96 postnatal hours. We then constructed hour-specific TcB nomograms from forehead and sternum measurements in infants who did not requi...
We included 2,981 TcB measurements taken on the forehead and 2,977 measurements taken on the sternum in 301 White term newborn infants. We assessed the predictive abilities of the nomograms at six pos...
The nomograms illustrate dermal bilirubin dynamics in White term neonates during the first 4 days of life. They may be useful tools to predict individualized risk of hyperbilirubinemia requiring treat...
Hyperbilirubinemia is commonly seen in neonates. Though hyperbilirubinemia is typically asymptomatic, severe elevation of bilirubin levels can lead to acute bilirubin encephalopathy and progress to ke...
The understanding of the genetic and biochemical processes that increase the susceptibility of defined anatomical areas of the central nervous system to the deleterious effects of bilirubin may facili...
Parkinson's disease (PD), the fastest-growing movement disorder, is still challenged by the unavailability of disease-modifying therapy. Mildly elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB, PubChem ...
Hematomas resulted from trauma are very common, and the efficacy of existing treatment techniques is limited. Phototherapy can be used to expedite healing and improve the appearance of the damaged tis...
Dopamine is a well-known neurotransmitter due to its involvement in Parkinson's disease (PD). Dopamine is not only involved in PD but also controls multiple mental and physical activities, such as the...
Oxidative stress and its role in the pathogenesis of cutaneous diseases have been widely investigated. However, there are few studies that have solely assessed the contribution of intracellular antiox...
This study aimed to determine serum levels of two major extracellular antioxidants (Bil and UA) levels in patients with melasma and their correlation with the severity and extent of the disease....
In this case-control study, the serum levels of bilirubin and uric acid of 50 melasma patients were compared with 50 healthy controls. Moreover, the correlation of serum concentrations of these antiox...
The serum concentration of Bil was significantly higher in the case group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, serum Bil level had a positive correlation with the extent of the melasma (correlation coefficient, +...
Oxidative stress may play a major role in the etiopathology of melasma and bilirubin, as an antioxidant, could be involved in the process of oxidative stress....
The accumulation of bilirubin in blood is associated with many diseases. Sensitive and accurate detection of bilirubin is of great significance for personal health care. The rapid development of fluor...
Exposing blood serum samples to ambient white light-emitting diode (WLED) light may accelerate bilirubin photoisomer production. We previously demonstrated the quantitative effect of bilirubin configu...
In Study 1, the relationship between WLED irradiation time and BSI production was examined. Serum samples from five neonates were irradiated with WLED light for 0, 10, 30, 60 and 180 min. Bilirubin is...
In Study 1, the median BSI production rate was 0.022 mg/dL per min in specimens with an unconjugated bilirubin concentration of 10.88 mg/dL. In Study 2, assuming that ⊿DB-0.19*⊿BCI was...
Under ambient WLED light, serum sample generated 1.3 mg/dL BSIs in 1 h. Approximately 34% (0.44 mg/dL) of BSI concentrations was measured as DB when using the vanadate oxidation method according to th...
The aim of this study is to determine the value of the questions asked in routine follow-up, the cord blood bilirubin (CBB) and bilirubin/albumin (B/A) ratio in estimating the risk of developing hyper...
Term and healthy 217 newborns whose CBB and albumin could be obtained and whose needed to be measured bilirubin level at the 24thand 72nd hours of life were included. Nutrition, sex and nationality, c...
CBB and cord B/A ratio, STB and serum B/A ratio, and TcB at the 24th and 72nd hours were found to be higher in the babies who received the phototherapy (p < 0.001 for all). The moderate positive corre...
CBB and B/A ratio are important in predicting the possibility of indirect hyperbilirubinemia (IHB) development. Babies should be followed closely in terms of IHB development when their CBB value is 1....
