Neonatal jaundice is a common neonatal disease. Severe jaundices lead to kernicterus that affects intellectual development of infants or even causes death. Timely and early prediction is vital to the treatment and prevention. This paper presents a jaundice predictor, which uses C8051F020 as the core of single-chip microcomputer (SCM) system with prediction algorithms proven by a large number of clinical trials. The jaundice predictor can reduce the incidence rate of jaundice, alleviate the condition of infants with jaundice, improve the quality of perinatal, with predicting pathologic neonatal jaundice effectively and calling attention to the prophylactic treatment. In addition, compared with the existing transcutaneous jaundice meters, the new predictor has a smaller size, a lighter weight, more user-friendly, and easier to use by hand-holding.

Phototherapy is the preferred treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and has largely replaced exchange transfusions due to its effectiveness and safety. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the time to recovery and its predictors among neonates undergoing phototherapy at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Northwest Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia. A multi-center institution-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 423 neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between September 2019 and December 2023, at Comprehensive Specialized Hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia.

Objective: Aim: To identify and evaluate the risk factors affecting the success of single-stage laparoscopic treatment for choledocholithiasis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of treatment of 139 patients who underwent single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration and cholecystectomy from 2018 to 2024. Data were analysed by the use of multivariate logistic regression to identify significant predictors of negative outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Biliary atresia (BA) is a serious, rare liver disease that can cause cirrhosis and death if untreated, with the standard treatment being hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE).
- A study of 37 patients undergoing HPE analyzed activin A expression in liver tissue to assess its impact on long-term outcomes, categorizing patients based on the intensity of activin A staining (weak, moderate, strong).
- Results showed that those with weak activin A expression had significantly better outcomes, achieving higher rates of jaundice clearance and survival with their native liver compared to those with moderate or strong activin A expression.
