Left Handed Simple, Recognition And Choice Reaction Times, Khalid Ibrahim Riah

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

In this study, 27 left handed healthy volunteers (12 male and 15 female) aged between 18 and 23 yrs were included in reaction time (RT) test that include simple reaction time (SRT), Recognition reaction time (RRT) and Choice reaction time (CRT). It’s appeared from the results that, SRT for the central target colors was less than for the peripheral on white and black background. The individual ability in recognizing the colored targets depends on the contrast of these colors with the background, when the contrast increased the individual ability to response increase. Two back targets RRT for individuals were longer …

Patients and Methods: this study conducted in Karbala teaching hospital for children during the period from January 2, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Sixty four healthy breast fed neonates with non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia (total serum bilirubin > 18 mg/dL [308 μmol/L] to < 22 mg/dL [375 μmol/L ] ) were assigned randomly to receive either breast milk or bottle formula exclusively (non-supplemented group; n=32) or intravenous fluid in addition to breast milk or formula (supplemented group; n=32) during conventional phototherapy. Results: The mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels at the time of enrollment and within 84 hours after phototherapy were not statistically different between two groups. Similarly, the duration of phototherapy required in both supplemented and non supplemented groups was 48hr.Conclusion: These data show that administration of extra intravenous fluid in jaundiced healthy, term, breastfed neonates have no beneficial effect on the rate of serum bilirubin reduction during conventional phototherapy.
