Phototherapy: The paper discusses the use of phototherapy in treating newborns with hyperbilirubinemia and the cardiovascular changes that occur during this treatment.
Heart disease: The paper explores the cardiovascular changes that occur during phototherapy, including vasodilation in the skin circulation, decrease in cardiac systolic volume, and changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin, a photopigment found in the eye, in systemic vascular photorelaxation during phototherapy.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of nitric oxide and endothelin 1, two hormones, in mediating vasodilation during phototherapy.
