Radiation under phototherapy and its relationship to clinical effectiveness in moderately severe neonatal jaundice
Scottish Medical Journal
|April 1, 1983
Abstract:
Radiation under four commercially available phototherapy units was measured over the visual spectrum and demonstrated that between 69 and 87 per cent of the radiation was irrelevant to the photodegradation of bilirubin. When infants with moderately severe physiological jaundice were exposed to three of the same phototherapy units under the same conditions there was no demonstrable difference in the apparent rate of decline of serum bilirubin or in length of treatment required.

Mutations
Mutations are changes in the sequence of DNA. These changes can occur spontaneously or they can be induced by exposure to environmental factors. Mutations can be characterized in a number of different ways: whether and how they alter the amino acid sequence of the protein, whether they occur over a small or large area of DNA, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells.

Acne Infection
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
