Gallium nitride LEDs produce high intensity, narrow spectrum light that overlaps the
absorption spectrum of bilirubin (BR). We have shown that these light sources effectively …

This paper was designed to investigate whether phototherapy is an oxidative stress in
newborn infants undergoing phototherapy. A day-light continuous phototherapy was given …

Objective: To determine the possible genotoxic effect of phototherapy in term infants with
hyperbilirubinemia. Patients and methods: A total of 172 term infants aged 3–10 days after …

Phototherapy has been used to treat newborns with jaundice for over half a century with the
presumption that it is safe and effective for all infants. In fact, this presumption may not be …

Aim: To compare continuous and intermittent light exposure in the presence of bilirubin with
respect to cellular damage. Furthermore, it was of interest to characterize the nature of …

Ostrea et al 1 showed that, in vitro, the exposure of red cells to light in the presence of
bilirubin resulted in peroxidation of the membrane lipids with or without hemolysis. However …

Phototherapy (PT) with white (day-light) or monochromatic (blue light) lamps is widely used
for the prevention and treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. PT has the following …

Two groups of 'healthy'full-term infants with hyperbilirubinemia exposed to phototherapy for
72 h demonstrated no significant change in serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) …

Background/Aim: Light can be efficiently used for the treatment of neonatal jaundice.
Sunlight, which covers a large portion of the light spectrum including the bilirubin‐absorbing …
