Bilirubin is an endogenous compound that can be toxic under certain conditions but, on the
other hand, mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia might protect against cardiovascular …

Objective. Paroxysmal nonepileptic events (PNEs) are frequently encountered in children
and adolescents; however, there is little information concerning the relative frequency of …

Background CPT-11 is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite SN-38, which is mainly eliminated
through conjugation by hepatic uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferases (UGTs) to the …

Neonatal jaundice continues to be a common problem. Kernicterus, although rare, continues
to be a very real concern in both full-term and preterm infants. The diagnosis of kernicterus …

Objective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the roles of production and conjugation
of bilirubin, individually and in combination, in the mechanism of neonatal jaundice …

Invasive bilirubin measurements remain the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of
infants with severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The present paper describes different …

Conjugated bilirubin at low micromolar concentrations strongly inhibits the luminol-
enhanced chemilu-minescence response of stimulated human polymorphonuclear …

The most widely used methods for the assay of total bilirubin in serum are based on a
coupling reaction with various diazo dyes in the presence of an accelerating agent. The …

Abstract Background/Aims: Hyperbilirubinemia associated with sepsis is frequently
observed in humans. In this study, an experimental rat model was developed to study …

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a commonly occurring genetic condition,
likely to be encountered today in virtually any corner of the globe. Sudden episodes of …
