What is neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a clinical condition characterized by elevated serum bilirubin levels, and manifests as yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes known as jaundice, a condition that reflects a temporary imbalance between the production and elimination of bilirubin…
How low does bilirubin go in phototherapy?
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a clinical condition characterized by a serum bilirubin concentration greater than 1.5 mg; according to the cause of this increase the treatments are determined; phototherapy is one of the most used measures to treat jaundice in newborns. Phototherapy involves the exposure of the newborn to a fluorescent light source….
Use of Blue Light Phototherapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Phototherapy with blue light is a medical treatment used to treat jaundice in newborns. This is a condition in which bilirubin, a yellow substance produced naturally in the body, builds up in the blood and results in a yellowish shade of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Phototherapy is used to lower bilirubin in an infant’s blood because blue light helps…
Freeze-dryers in pharmaceutical companies
La lyophilisation est devenue une pratique courante dans l’industrie pharmaceutique, depuis le début de ses premières applications vers les années 40. Depuis, le lyophilisateur est passé d’un simple équipement de séchage sous vide à un système hautement sophistiqué et intégré, qui combine un série de procédés pour garantir une production systématique selon les spécifications…
Laboratory lyophilizer: What are the different types that exist?
A lyophilizer is a laboratory equipment that allows to carry out lyophilization, that is to say, it is an instrument that is used to remove moisture from a product by cold drying, thus obtaining a dehydrated product that can be rehydrated when needed, thus fully recovering its properties at the time of use….
Importance of lyophilizers for the production of yogurt
A freeze dryer is a machine in charge of the freeze drying process, also known previously as cryodrying, which is nothing more than the method of cold drying and subsequent sublimation of the ice of a material, which has been previously frozen…
Freeze-dryers to conserve archeological artifacts
Freeze-drying is an equipment that works by making use of drying by vacuum freezing. The freeze-drying process, which is nothing more than an advanced dehydration procedure, removes all traces of water and moisture from the product and sublimes the ice, thanks to the low pressure to which it is subjected..
Freeze dryers: technique and operations
Freeze drying is a process also called freeze drying, and it is carried out in specialized equipment known as a freeze dryer. In this process, the product is frozen, by exposing it to cold air, then passing to a vacuum chamber, in which the humidity is sublimated, eliminating it by crystallization using mechanical vacuum pumps.
What is a freeze dryer?
The lyophilizer is the apparatus used to carry out lyophilization. It consists of the following parts: dry chamber or lyophilization chamber: it is the place where the substance to be lyophilized is placed, condenser with a refrigeration circuit: it communicates with the dry chamber and it is where the vapor that is produced in the sublimation is condensed and finally a vacuum system.
Why is the Radiant Baby Warmer effective?
It is a safe solution to preserve body temperature and avoid hypothermia. Most premature infants have a tendency to lose heat more quickly than full-term infants, making them particularly vulnerable to hypothermia. This condition can have serious consequences, particularly in newborns.
