Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common concern in newborns, with ABO blood group incompatibility serving as a significant risk factor for severe jaundice. This case report outlines the successful management of a 2.5 kg female infant born to a primigravida mother with ABO incompatibility-induced hyperbilirubinemia. The neonate, born at 38.4 weeks via lower segment cesarean section, exhibited signs of jaundice at 91 hours of life, prompting screening and subsequent confirmation of serum bilirubin levels 26...

OBJECTIVE:  This study aimed to compare rehospitalization rates, diagnoses, and well-baby nursery (WBN) length of stay (LOS) among rehospitalized infants born during the COVID-19 pandemic to those born prior. STUDY DESIGN:  A retrospective comparison of 215 infants rehospitalized from March 1, 2019 to March 1, 2021 was performed in an urban academic center. Rates of readmission were determined for all infants using an unadjusted odds ratio. Among infants rehospitalized at ≤30 and ≤7 days, key cohort characteristics were analyzed using chi-square analysis, Fisher's exact test, independent t -test, and nonparametric testing as applicable...

BACKGROUND: Galactosemia type I is an autosomal recessive disorder of galactose metabolism due to galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency, encoded by GALT . To investigate the phenotypes, genotypes and long-term outcomes of galactosemia, we performed a retrospective cohort study in our center. METHODS: All individuals with galactosemia type I were included. We divided individuals into two groups to compare the outcomes of those treated symptomatically (SymX) and asymptomatically (AsymX)...

Neonatal Jaundice is a common occurrence in neonates. High excess bilirubin would lead to hyperbilirubinemia, leading to irreversible adverse damage such as kernicterus. Therefore, it is necessary and important to monitor neonates' bilirubin levels in real-time for immediate intervention. However, current screening protocols have their inherent limitations, necessitating more convenient measurements. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluated the feasibility of using machine learning for the screening of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates from smartphone-acquired photographs...

Hearing loss is a common disability in infants that significantly impacts their cognitive, language, and literacy development. This study aimed to systematically assess the risk factors for the early identification and intervention in infant hearing loss. Databases were searched for meta-analyses of observational studies until November 2023. The quality assessment was performed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the certainty of the evidence...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: A debate exists on the relation of adverse pregnancy outcomes with glycemic levels in early pregnancy. We aimed to investigate the association of maternal characteristics including post-load glucose and first-trimester HbA1c test results with adverse pregnancy outcomes in women without gestational diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A dataset (January 2011 and September 2017) from a hospital prenatal clinic was explored to find the important predictors of adverse pregnancy outcomes using maternal characteristics and glucose assessments in mothers without gestational diabetes...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a considerable leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, is the most common primary liver cancer with poor prognosis and outcome. Many advances in prevention, screening, and new technologies in diagnostics and therapy have been achieved, but its incidence and mortality remain increasing. Co-infection of another viral disease in HCC patients with pregnancy might exacerbate the condition and double the mortality rate. The aim of this case report was to describe the co-infection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in an HCC patient during pregnancy...

BACKGROUND: Globally, no trial data are available on head-to-head comparison between 10 mg/kg and 25/35 mg/kg rifampicin in treating pulmonary tuberculosis during study initiation. METHODS: A multicentric, phase IIb randomized trial recruited 333 new culture-positive, drug-sensitive adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis to compare safety and efficacy of high-dose rifampicin (R25/R35), against conventional dose (R10) given daily for 8 weeks followed by standard doses for 16 weeks...

There are few articles describing the effects of elevated bilirubin levels on the auditory system. The objectives of this paper was to study the prevalence of hearing impairment in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and assess outcome/reversibility of hearing impairment in these neonates with follow-up hearing evaluation. This was a prospective single centre, case control study...

The prevalence of hearing loss is 0.09-2.3% in low risk neonates, and 0.3-14.1% in the high-risk population. The treatment requires early identification by neonatal hearing screening and early rehabilitation. OAE (oto-acoustic emission) and ABR (Auditory Brain Response) are the two objective tests used to evaluate hearing loss in neonates. OAE tests the biological response of the cochlea to auditory stimuli. ABR tests the auditory pathway. The aim is to estimate hearing loss in high-risk neonates using the Distortion Product Oto- acoustic emission (DP OAE) and to correlate the associated high-risk factors...

This study evaluated the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on the accuracy of continuous non-invasive hemoglobin (SpHb) measurements in liver transplantation recipients. Overall, 1465 SpHb and laboratory hemoglobin (Hb) measurement pairs (n = 296 patients) were analyzed. Patients were grouped into normal (< 1.2 mg/dL), mild-to-moderate (1.2-3.0 mg/dL), and severe (> 3.0 mg/dL) hyperbilirubinemia groups based on the preoperative serum total bilirubin levels. Bland-Altman analysis showed a bias of 0...

BACKGROUND: Guidelines on when to screen for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia apply to infants born at 35 weeks or later of gestation. It is unknown whether infants born earlier would benefit from similar guidelines. Our objective was to examine hyperbilirubinemia screening and phototherapy prescription among early preterm infants during the first 6 days of life. METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 193 infants born prior to 35 weeks of gestation who were admitted to a tertiary care NICU in Southeastern Ontario in 2018-2019...

Therapeutic apheresis is an important hematological and nephrological method for conditions with altered plasma composition. It is also indicated for the removal of protein-bound molecules, such as bilirubin. Several techniques can remove these compounds, such as the extracorporeal circulation molecular adsorption system (MARS), plasma exchange (PEX), and plasma adsorption and perfusion (PAP). Here we report our experience in the comparison between MARS, PEX and PAP, since current guidelines do not specify which method is the most appropriate and under which circumstances it should be used...

BACKGROUND: Hyperbilirubinemia with hepatic metastases is a common complication and a poor prognostic factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). Effective drainage is often impossible before initiating systemic chemotherapy, owing to the liver's diffuse metastatic involvement. Moreover, an appropriate chemotherapeutic approach for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia is currently unavailable.

Blueberry muffin syndrome (BMS) in neonates, characterized by widespread nodular lesions, presents diagnostic challenges due to its diverse etiologies. Hyperleukocytosis, with leukocyte counts exceeding 100,000/μL, is a rare phenomenon associated with severe complications in neonates. Congenital leukemia (CL), a rare diagnosis within the first month of life, is linked to high mortality. This case report presents a unique case of BMS with hyperleukocytosis as the initial presentation of CL. A full-term male newborn, born after an uncomplicated pregnancy, except for Kell isoimmunization, with an Apgar score of 9/10, and an irrelevant family history, showed widespread purple nodules consistent with BMS at birth...

Background and Objectives: Low-birth-weight (LBW) neonates are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality which are inversely proportional to birth weight, while macrosomic babies are at risk of birth injuries and other related complications. Many maternal risk factors were associated with the extremes of birthweight. The objectives of this study are to investigate maternal risk factors for low and high birthweight and to report on the neonatal complications associated with abnormal birth weights. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of deliveries ≥ 23 weeks...
