Measuring transcutaneous bilirubin: a comparative analysis of three devices on a multiracial population [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Hyperbilirubinemia can lead to potentially irreversible bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) determination has become a valuable aid in non invasive screening of neonatal jaundice.

Diagnostic dilemma of cystic biliary atresia: A series of two cases and brief review of the diagnostic modalities

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 355-361, May 2026.
Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry in a Rural Teaching Hospital: A Quality Improvement Assessment [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: Up to 84% of term neonates develop jaundice, a sign of hyperbilirubinemia that warrants bilirubin measurement. The AAP recommends systematic evaluation of hyperbilirubinemia risk for every infant.

The Management of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Era of Universal Newborn CMV Screening

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The most common infectious disease responsible for paediatric developmental disability is congenital infection with human cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Many serious sequelae are caused by cCMV, including microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, neuronal migration defects, seizure disorders, developmental delay, and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)

Different approaches in management of neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia: a review article

Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Background Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a prevalent condition that affects newborns, characterized by elevated serum bilirubin levels. The accumulation of bilirubin can cause neurotoxicity, resulting in various complications, and in severe cases, even ...

Effects of variation status and enzyme activity for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 gene on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2020
Background: We found that Taiwanese adults carrying genotypes of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 with enzyme activity ≤40% of normal were at high risk for developing Gilbert's syndrome. However, the relationship between UGT1A1 activity and neonatal

Phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia [PDF]

Pediatrics International, 2017
AbstractApproximately 60 years ago in England, phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was used in clinical practice. It was introduced in Japan approximately 50 years ago. At that time, the mechanism underlying the serum bilirubin concentration decrease by phototherapy was still unknown.

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and Rhesus disease of the newborn: incidence and impairment estimates for 2010 at regional and global levels. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Rhesus (Rh) disease and extreme hyperbilirubinemia (EHB) result in neonatal mortality and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, yet there are no estimates of their burden.
