Abstract:

Background Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common clinicalphenomenon found in newborns. Phototherapy is the standardtreatment for lowering bilirubin levels in neonates. Whileintensive (double) phototherapy produces a more rapid declinein serum bilirubin levels than standard (single) phototherapy,greater rebound effects may occur.Objective To assess bilirubin levels in neonates with hyperbilirubinemiawho underwent single or double phototherapy, includingrebound bilirubin levels after phototherapy termination.Methods An open, randomized, controlled trial was con ductedat H.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the entire globe by storm. The pathogenesis of this virus has shown a cytokine storm release, which contributes to critical or severe multi-organ failure. Currently the ultimate treatment is palliative; however, many modalities have been introduced with effective or minimal outcomes. Meanwhile, enormous efforts are ongoing to produce safe vaccines and therapies. Phototherapy has a wide range of clinical applications against various maladies. This necessitates the exploration of the role of phototherapy, if any, for COVID-19. This critical review was conducted to

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Newborn jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia, is a common occurrence in neonatal medicine. Severe sickness can potentially result in kernicterus and neurological damage. The most important N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist is magnesium ion. Phototherapy is the most popular treatment for jaundice, although the effect of phototherapy on serum magnesium has received less study. <strong>Material and method: </strong>This prospective study was conducted in the paediatric department of this hospital from March 2019 to March 2020.

Abstract:

Conventional phototherapy systems that simultaneously irradiate the front and the back of the baby lower the serum bilirubin level more rapidly than one-sided systems, but they are impractical. Fiberoptic phototherapy makes it easy to administer conventional phototherapy from above while the infant lies on a fiberoptic phototherapy blanket. Newborns with birth weights less than 2500 g were randomly assigned to receive either single (n = 37) or double (n = 33) phototherapy. The groups were similar in clinical and laboratory characteristics. After 18 hours of therapy the serum bilirubin concentr

Phototherapy involves repeated exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light to treat various inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis. Recent studies have identified specific immunologic effects of phototherapy that may underlie phototherapy efficacy. Furthermore, recent advancements have been made in developing safe and effective targeted phototherapy modalities for difficult-to-treat areas such as scalp psoriasis. Targeted phototherapy in the form of the excimer laser holds potential for more aggressive, effective treatment and long-lasting remission of psoriasis. Phototherapy is now also

Abstract:

Background Although phototherapy has been used in clinical practice for 40 years, there is still much debate on how to provide the most efficacious phototherapy. Phototherapy with white reflecting curtains may increase the average spectral irradiance provided, as well as decrease serum bilirubin concentrations at a faster rate in neonates with jaundice.Objective To determine if adding low cost, white, reflecting curtains to a standard phototherapy unit can increase the effectiveness of phototherapy for neonatal jaundice.Methods A randomized, controlled, open trial was conducted at H.

Abstract:

Background: The most commonly used light sources in the conventional phototherapy units are compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), halogen spotlights and fiberoptic blankets. Recently light emitting diodes (LED) has emerged as better light source for phototherapy and almost replacing all the available conventional light sources. Comparative studies on the efficacy of LED versus conventional phototherapy are limited from India. That is why; this study was undertaken.Methods: 48 neonates of ≥35 weeks gestational age with hyperbilirubinemia were participated in this study. Among them, 24 neonates receiv

Abstract:

Background Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is one of the most common problems in neonates, but it can be treated with blue light phototherapy. Developing countries with limited medical equipment and funds have difficulty providing effective phototherapy to treat NH, leading to increased risk of bilirubin encephalopathy. Phototherapy with white reflecting curtains can decrease the duration of phototherapy needed to reduce bilirubin levels. Objective To compare the duration of phototherapy needed in neonates with NH who underwent phototherapy with and without aluminum foil reflectors. Methods T

Abstract:

Jaundice is a common condition in neonates, occurring in 60% to 84% of late term and term infants. Phototherapy is considered as a treatment of choice since many years in the management of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Phototherapy is the use of visible light to treat severe jaundice in the neonatal period. Treatment with phototherapy is implemented in order to prevent the neurotoxic effects of high serum unconjugated bilirubin. Different types of phototherapy delivery system are in use. Bili blanket phototherapy uses fiberoptic systems that reduces or eliminates all of the potential compli

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the first week of life is one of the most prevalent clinical entity observed, affecting 60% of term-babies and 80% of preterm newborn babies, many requiring intervention in the form of phototherapy. The effect of phototherapy on serum calcium levels has not been studied much in Indian literature. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypocalcemia in healthy, term newborn babies receiving phototherapy for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and to determine the association, if any between serum calcium and birth weight, postnatal a

Abstract:

Background: Jaundice is one of the most common problems in neonatal period. In 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates are seen during the first week of birth and most cases are physiologic. Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common cause of jaundice in newborns. Phototherapy is used to treat it, which seems to be safe. Some studies showed that thrombocytopenia is one of the side effects of phototherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between thrombocytopenia and phototherapy in newborns.Methods: This is a descriptive study that has been done on 100 neonates with jaundic

Background: Phototherapy despite being very safe is found to be associated with various untoward effects. The objective of this article was to study the changes in various hematological parameters as a result of phototherapy in neonates treated for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 120 neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia to determine the changes in the blood cell counts. We compared the complete blood counts at the time of admission and after 48 hours of phototherapy. The data was analyzed in SPSS 25 using paired t test. Results: We ob

Background and Objectives: Since 1950s, phototherapy had been the treatment of choice for neonatal jaundice. Continuous phototherapy was the pattern used for many years; however intermittent phototherapy was also used with conflicting and controversial results. This work aim is to assess intermittent phototherapy for the treatment of neonatal jaundice in comparison with continuous phototherapy.
