The bilirubin albumin ratio in the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants to improve neurodevelopmental outcome: A randomized controlled trial - BARTrial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background and Objective: High bilirubin/albumin (B/A) ratios increase the risk of bilirubin neurotoxicity. The B/A ratio may be a valuable measure, in addition to the total serum bilirubin (TSB), in the management of hyperbilirubinemia.

The Role of Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Neonatal and Fetal Brain Research

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 2404-2424, June 2025.
The biochemical composition and structure of the brain are in a rapid change during the exuberant stage of fetal and neonatal development. 1H‐MRS is a noninvasive tool that can evaluate brain metabolites in healthy fetuses and infants as well as those with neurological diseases.

The effects of Bilirubin and Bilirubin-di-taurate on ischemia reperfusion injruy in a rat model of kidney transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of heme into biliverdin, carbon monoxide (CO) and free iron. Biliverdin is then subsequently reduced to bilirubin by the enzyme bilverdin reductase.

Pediatric cerebral palsy in Africa: A systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cerebral palsy is a common neurologic problem in children and is reported as occurring in approximately 2-2.5 of 1000 live births globally. As is the case with many pediatric neurologic conditions, very little has been reported on this condition in the ...

Integrated Phenotypic and Genotypic Approaches for Accurate Diagnosis of G6PD Deficiency: Implications for Drug Safety in Thailand

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 13, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency holds critical health concerns, particularly due to its association with drug‐induced hemolysis triggered by medications such as antimalarials. This condition poses significant risks in malaria‐endemic regions where the prevalence and genetic diversity of G6PD deficiency further complicate ...

Anti‐Ce in haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 287-290, June 2025.
Abstract Objectives To report a delayed case of severe haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN) due to Anti‐Ce. Background HDFN due to maternal antibodies is potentially fatal. As a result, antibody levels and foetal anaemia are periodically monitored and risk assessed throughout pregnancy. HDFN due to Anti‐Ce is rare.

Role of COHb Level in Newborns with ABO Blood Group Incompatibility in Predicting Newborn Jaundice Risk [PDF]

open access: yesForbes Tıp Dergisi
Objective: Neonates with hyperbilirubinemia are at risk of brain damage, and at least two-thirds of neonates show clinical signs of jaundice in the first week of life.

Improved genetic screening with zygosity detection through multiplex high‐resolution melting curve analysis and biochemical characterisation for G6PD deficiency

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 437-457, May 2025.
Abstract Accurate diagnosis of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is crucial for relapse malaria treatment using 8‐aminoquinolines (primaquine and tafenoquine), which can trigger haemolytic anaemia in G6PD‐deficient individuals. This is particularly important in regions where the prevalence of G6PD deficiency exceeds 3%–5%, including ...
