The authors experienced two cases of goitrous hypothyroidism in siblings. The etiology was

We report these cases with a review of related literatres. |

To evaluate the efficacy of the Transcutaneous Minolta Bilirubinometer in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, the value of serum bilirubin measured by alkali azo bilirubin method and American optical biliribinometry were compared with the reading of transcutaneous bilirubinometer in 86 fullterm newborns. The following results were obtained:
1)The Transcutaneous Minolta Bilirubinometer was assessed to have the objective value in determining the severity of hyperbilirubinemia... |
