Gt. News ,,,,,while the scumbags were busy to run the stock
down, Darby was busy making deals,,,,

These "fine" lawyers are still scrounging around to find a
lead plaintiff, what a waste of time for any company to have
to spend time and money for a defense of their co. The shorts
create the carnage, then the vultures move in and sue. What a
combo they are !!

Kernicterus in term infants - China

----------
Kernicterus: Disorder due to jaundice in a newborn baby with high blood levels of the pigment bilirubin that is deposited in the brain resulting in damage. The level of bilirubin is monitored in newborns to determine whether treatment is needed to prevent kernicterus. With brain affected, it is also called bilirubin encephalopathy

Kernicterus is a frequent occurrence in Chinese term infants.

In a previous study, the mean level of serum bilirubin of 152 kernicteric infants was 35.4 mg/dl (605.3 mumol/l) and the range was 22.3-50 mg/dl.

More recently, three further term infants developed kernicterus and one exhibited bilirubin level of only 23.3 mg/dl.

Features of haemolysis were lacking in 56.8% of these infants. Evidence of brain damage occurred in 26.5% in a former series and in 5.5% of the more recent study of those infants who developed bilirubinaemia exceeding 20 mg/dl.

Such a high risk favours the present practice of exchange transfusion for rising bilirubin beyond 20 mg/dl (342 mumol/l) in Chinese term infants.
