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.

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

This work was done to evaluate lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-cholestrol, LDL-cholestrol) in plasma of healthy smokers /non-smokers and determined the effect of body mass index (BMI ) on these two groups. Serum levels of evaluate lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-cholestrol, LDL-cholestrol) were measured in (105) smokers subjects grouped in three types (normal weight, over weight and obese ) and ( 55) non-smoker subjects grouped in the same way. Lipid profile were estimated by using the enzymatic colorimetric methods for serum in both smoker and non-smoker subjects. The result revealed that BMI for smoker subjects show significant differences(P<0.01) for three groups (normal weight, over weight and obese ) in the total cholesterol levels in serum and LDL-cholestrol were increased significantly in smoker obese subjects more than in smoker over weight subjects and as compared with smokers normal weight; while the serum levels of HDLcholestrol were decreased significantly in smoker obese subjects more than in smoker over weight subjects as compared with smokers normal weight, also the results showed that there were significant differences between smokers and non- smoker subjects(P<0.01) in these three types of groups.
