Mashup Score: 0Microfluidics show promise as safer, simpler treatment option for severe neonatal jaundice - 2 year(s) ago
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Research by the Oregon State University College of Engineering has led to a promising potential therapy for neonatal jaundice that’s more safe, simple and convenient than the blood transfusions currently given to babies suffering from the most dangerous forms of the condition. The study led by Adam Higgins, associate professor of bioengineering, suggests microfluidics and…

Mashup Score: 1Screening methods for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: benefits, limitations, requirements, and novel developments - Pediatric Research - 3 year(s) ago
Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (SNH) is a serious condition that occurs worldwide. Timely recognition with bilirubin determination is key in the management of SNH. Visual assessment of jaundice is unreliable. Fortunately, transcutaneous bilirubin measurement for screening newborn infants is routinely available in many hospitals and outpatient settings. Despite a few limitations, the use of…

Mashup Score: 23
Researchers in Japan have developed the first wearable devices to precisely monitor jaundice, a yellowing of the skin caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood that can cause severe medical conditions in newborns. Jaundice can be treated easily by irradiating the infant with blue light that breaks bilirubin down to be excreted through urine. The treatment itself, however, can disrupt…
