Bilirubin toxicity remains a significant problem despite recent advances in the care of
jaundiced (hyperbilirubinemic) neonates. A recent surge in reported cases of classical …

Bilirubin is the end product of heme catabolism formed during a process that involves
oxidation-reduction reactions and conserves iron body stores. Unconjugated …

There is growing evidence that a large number of very low birth weight infants are exhibiting
neurobehavioral problems in the absence of cerebral palsy at follow-up that has extended …

PURPOSE. We sought to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of total serum bilirubin
concentration (TSB) and free (unbound) bilirubin concentration (Bf) as predictors of risk for …

Jaundice occurs in most newborn infants. Most jaundice is benign, but because of the
potential toxicity of bilirubin, newborn infants must be monitored to identify those who might …

Clinicians have hypothesized a spectrum of minor neurologic manifestations, consistent with
neuroanatomical reports and collectively termed as a “syndrome of bilirubin-induced …

Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is a common condition in the first week of postnatal life.
Although generally harmless, some neonates may develop very high levels of unconjugated …

The term “auditory neuropathy” is being used in a rapidly increasing number of papers in the
audiology/otolaryngology literature for a variety of individuals (mostly children) who fulfill the …

Objective. We report serial magnetic resonance (MR) and sonographic behavior of globus
pallidus in 5 preterm and 3 term infants with kernicterus and describe the clinical context in …

Background: The serum or plasma total bilirubin concentration (BT) has long been the
standard clinical laboratory test for evaluating neonatal jaundice, despite studies showing …
