This pilot study evaluates a newly developed point-of-care (PoC) device designed to measure bilirubin levels in human blood ...

Background and aims: Hydrophobic bile acids contribute to hepatocellular injury in cholestasis and rapidly induce apoptosis in vitro; however, unlike Fas agonists, cholestasis does not cause extensive ...

Urine samples from consenting volunteers (n = 120) were tested with Abuscreen, EMIT d.a.u., and TDx for cannabinoids, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines.

Bilirubin concentrations were varied from 176 to 708 μM by adding bilirubin to plasma samples. Ibuprofen caused a linear increase in UB up to +54% at a concentration of 1.8 mM, compared with an ...

Compared with infants born before universal screening, those born after were significantly less like to develop bilirubin levels of 25.0 to 29.9 mg/dL (odds ratio, 0.62) or >30.0 mg/dL (OR, 0.35).

The urine of most healthy, properly hydrated people is light yellow or clear and nearly free of odor. It also causes no pain or discomfort to pass. But for the majority of people with a urinary ...

A Florida Sam’s Club was forced to throw away more than $10,000 worth of Spam and Vienna sausages after a 70-year-old shopper allegedly urinated on the products.

Scientists say they have new experimental evidence of a novel role for bilirubin, a natural yellow pigment found in the body, in protecting humans from the worst effects of malaria and potentially ...

In a bid to pin down the role of bilirubin, the scientists collaborated with the lab of Florian Kurth at Charité Berlin, Germany, and Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné in Gabon to conduct an ...

Background: Hyperbilirubinaemia is a common complication of sepsis. Elevated bilirubin may induce inflammation and apoptosis. It was hypothesised that increased serum bilirubin on Intensive Care Unit ...

The state has awarded a $416,000 grant that will fund a urine diversion pilot program in town. With this grant to the Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center (MASSTC), a ...
