Electromyographic Characterization in an Animal model of Dystonia
Kernicterus causes damage to the auditory system and the basal ganglia in humans. Although the Gunn rat model of kernicterus has been extensively used to characterize the auditory features, this model has not been utilized to systematically investigate the movement disorder. In the present study, …

DNA Damage Induction by Bilirubin Induced Oxidative Stress and Activation of DNA Repair Pathways by Bilirubin
“Kernicterus” due to hyperbilirubinemia is one of main cause of irreversible brain damage in low and middle income countries. Deaths due to “kernicterus” are ranked within the top 3 causes of neonatal death in African countries. Neonates experiencing permanent or temporary absence or reduced …

Electrolyte changes during exchange transfusion in the newborn
… damage to the central nervous system (known as kernicterus) with medullary failure and death in the more severe cases. Thus even though some infants are in imminent danger of cardiac failure in the immediate post-natal period, it is considered best to attempt exchange transfusion in order to …

Digitally Augmented Neurorehabilitation: Potential for Treatment and Tele-Assessment
… in a case study on the treatment of Kernicterus. Collectively these works provide an overview of a selection of digitally augmented neurorehabilitation techniques and tools and preliminary data on how these approaches might be implemented in the field of pediatric neurorehabilitation.

Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: <i>in vivo</i> Characterization of Mechanisms of Bilirubin Neurotoxicity and Pharmacological Treatments
… and, if untreated, eventually death by kernicterus. Severe hyperbilirubinemia results in the saturation of the bilirubin binding capacity of plasma albumin, with the consequent increase in the fraction of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) not bound to albumin (free bilirubin, Bf) that, due to …
