Is unbound bilirubin concentration associated with abnormal automated auditory brainstem response for jaundiced newborns?
The probability of bilateral refer automated auditory brainstem response results increases significantly with increasing unbound bilirubin concentrations but not with increasing total bilirubin concentrations. Because unbound bilirubin concentrations are also more closely correlated with bilirubin neurotoxicity than are total bilirubin concentrations, bilateral refer automated auditory brainstem response results for jaundiced newborns may indicate increased risk of bilirubin neurotoxicity, in addition to the possibility of congenital deafness.
Probiotics induce an immunologic response that may provide enhanced systemic protection of cells from virus infections by increasing production of virus neutralizing antibodies.
