A novel optical assay system for bilirubin concentration measurement in whole blood [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering 69.2 (2021): 983-990
As a biomarker for liver disease, bilirubin has been utilized in prognostic scoring systems for cirrhosis. While laboratory-based methods are used to determine bilirubin levels in clinical settings, they do not readily lend themselves to applications outside of hospitals. Consequently, bilirubin monitoring for cirrhotic patients is often performed only

Augmented smartphone bilirubinometer enabled by a mobile app that turns smartphone into multispectral imager [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We present the development of SpeCamX, a mobile application that transforms any unmodified smartphone into a powerful multispectral imager capable of capturing multispectral information. Our application includes an augmented bilirubinometer, enabling accurate prediction of blood bilirubin levels (BBL).

Clustering for multivariate continuous and discrete longitudinal data [PDF]

Annals of Applied Statistics 2013, Vol. 7, No. 1, 177-200, 2013
Multiple outcomes, both continuous and discrete, are routinely gathered on subjects in longitudinal studies and during routine clinical follow-up in general. To motivate our work, we consider a longitudinal study on patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) with a continuous bilirubin level, a discrete platelet count and a dichotomous indication of

Bilirubin production and hour-specific bilirubin levels [PDF]

Journal of Perinatology, 2015
We assessed the relative contributions of increased bilirubin production (indexed by end-tidal carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, corrected for ambient CO (ETCOc)) to hour-specific total bilirubin (TB) levels in healthy late preterm and term newborns.Post hoc analyses of concurrent ETCOc and TB (at 30±6 h of age) and follow-up TB levels at age 96±12 ...

METTL3 knockout accelerates hepatocarcinogenesis via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress response

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Liver‐specific knockout of N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 significantly accelerated hepatic tumor initiation under various oncogenic challenges, contrary to the previously reported oncogenic role of METTL3 in liver cancer cell lines or xenograft models. Mechanistically, METTL3 deficiency reduced m6A deposition on Manf transcripts and

Analysis of serum metabolism in premature infants before and after feeding using GC–MS and the relationship with necrotizing enterocolitis

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Preterm birth and enteral feeding are two main factors leading to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The metabolomics of preterm infants before and after feeding can provide a basis for the prediction of NEC. Using the method of cross‐sectional study, the mode was established with the serum samples of 19 premature infants at birth and after ...

The effect of occupational exposure to lead on the non-enzymatic antioxidant system

Medycyna Pracy, 2014
Background: The role of non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as uric acid, albumin, bilirubin, and α-tocopherol, in lead poisoning remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore the association between occupational exposure to lead and ...

CHMMOTv1 -- Cardiac and Hepatic Multi-Echo (T2*) MRI Images and Clinical Dataset for Iron Overload on Thalassemia Patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Owing to the invasiveness and low accuracy of other tests, including biopsy and ferritin levels, magnetic resonance imaging (T2 and T2*-MRI) has been considered the standard test for patients with thalassemia (THM). Regarding deep learning networks in medical sciences for improving diagnosis and treatment purposes and the existence of minimal resources

Risk of Hepatotoxicity in Patients With Gout Treated With Febuxostat or Benzbromarone: A Propensity Score–Matched Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of febuxostat and benzbromarone in patients with gout. Methods New users of febuxostat or benzbromarone with monitoring of liver function at least three times in a year after initiation of the study drugs were identified from an ...

Quantitative electroencephalographic analysis of delirium tremens development following alcohol‐withdrawal seizure based on a small number of male cases

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Considering the complications related to alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) such as seizure, delirium tremens and cardiac arrhythmia, it is important to identify the risk of delirium tremens (DT) following AWS and enhance preventive strategies. We observed the characteristics of quantitative electroencephalography in patients with AWS, specifically who ...
