Neonatal Jaundice: A Study of the Incidence in Children of Rh (D) Negative and 0 Rh (D) Positive Mothers.

Despite advances in neonatal care, neonatal jaundice remains a common problem in maternity wards. The present retrospective epidemiological study collected data on a sample of 710 newborns and compared the incidence of neonatal jaundice in infants born to Rh (D) negative and 0 Rh (D) positive mothers. The primary aim was to determine whether the higher incidence of maternal alloimmunisation in newborns was causally related to a potentially higher incidence of neonatal jaundice in newborns of 0 Rh (D) positive mothers.

While allograft loss due to acute rejection has been dramatically reduced due to the introduction of immunophilins, this therapy has little effect on allografts lost due to chronic vascular rejection. This situation may be due to a misnomer of the pathology. Specifically, its designation as 'chronic rejection' has given the wrong impression that the cause of the disease has been identified.

Article Synopsis
- Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn is a serious health issue due to incompatibility between maternal and fetal blood, with no preventive measures for most problematic antibodies.
- A systematic review of 75 studies revealed that 44 case reports linked the disease to 11 infant deaths, with only a 0.17% alloimmunization rate noted, alongside many intrauterine transfusions.
- The most common antibodies involved were from the Rh, Kell, and MNS blood systems; further research is needed globally to improve diagnosis and treatment management for at-risk pregnancies.

Obesity is a worldwide health problem with a rapidly rising incidence. In organ transplantation, increasing numbers of patients with obesity accumulate on waiting lists and undergo surgery. Obesity is in general conceptualized as a chronic inflammatory disease, potentially impacting alloimmune response and graft function.

Cancer is a common complication after kidney transplantation. Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) have a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of developing cancer compared to the general population and post-transplant malignancy is the third most common cause of death in KTR. Moreover, it is well known that certain cancer types are overrepresented after transplantation, especially non-melanoma skin cancer.
