Problem: Article: The factors that lead to high levels of bilirubin can be hereditary, environmental, or related to other health conditions.  Babies born prematurely are less likely to be able to process bilirubin because their livers are not sufficiently developed.  Babies whose blood type is incompatible with the mother's type -- known as ABO Incompatibility -- may be born with higher levels of bilirubin in their blood. If the baby is significantly bruised during birth, the breakdown of red blood cells may increase bilirubin levels.  Babies can develop "breast milk jaundice" for two reasons: the presence of certain proteins in the mother's milk, or the baby not receiving enough milk, which leads to dehydration.  Some babies can have liver, blood or enzyme problems or other medical problems that can lead to elevated bilirubin. Also, babies can have an infection which can cause elevated bilirubin. Your doctor may recommend feeding an infant with jaundice up to 12 times a day.    Since latching and sucking problems can cause the infant to receive less breast milk, consider enlisting the aid of a lactation consultant who is trained to help mothers feed their babies.  Feeding the baby more often will encourage bowel movements, which eliminate bilirubin.  If increased breastfeeding does not reduce bilirubin levels, your pediatrician may direct you to supplement the baby's diet with formula or expressed breast milk. Phototherapy involves exposing the infant to light in the blue-green spectrum. The light waves pass through the baby's body and into the blood, where it converts the bilirubin into materials that the baby's body will be able to excrete.  The baby will wear soft eye patches to protect their eyes from the light. They are also able to wear a diaper during the therapy. The baby will likely have loose, frequent, and possibly greenish bowel movements as a side effect of phototherapy. This is normal and should end when the treatments have stopped.  While direct, natural sunlight can help lower bilirubin levels, it is not recommended as  treatment. It is too difficult to measure and control both the level of sunlight exposure and the baby's body temperature during exposure. The biliblanket is a advanced, fiber-optic based phototherapy treatment.   The biliblanket consists of woven fiber-optic material that is placed directly against the baby fully expose the infant to light. It allows the baby to be held and nursed without interrupting the treatment.   The biliblanket may cause the baby's skin to look bleached or reddened, but this is actually part of the treatment process that will resolve when bilirubin levels are lowered. If the jaundice is caused by an infection or other medical problem, such as increased breakdown of red blood cells, your doctor may recommend other treatments such as medications or even a blood transfusion.
Summary: Evaluate your infant's risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia. Feed your baby frequently. Ask your pediatrician about phototherapy. Consider using a biliblanket. Discuss other treatments with your doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You have limited waking time when you’re sick, so use the most effective and efficient revision techniques to maximize the use of your time and boost your chances of success. Writing is a wise use of your time. If you rewrite key notes and concepts in your own words, it is more effective than simply reading them or saying them aloud. It’s best to do so with a pen or pencil. Research shows that writing notes out by hand (versus typing them on a laptop or other device) can boost your comprehension and memory. Studies suggest that using practice testing, like flashcards or mock exams, is more productive than just simply reviewing your textbooks or notes. Besides more closely approximating the format of your test, these activities force you to recall, synthesize, and utilize information instead of just passively reading or repeating it. We all learn differently and favor different senses in our learning. Engage as many senses as you can in your study process and methods to boost your cognition and recall of information. For example, read your notes, rewrite your notes, and then quiz yourself aloud on your notes. If you follow those steps, you would have processed the information you’re revising in visual, tactile, and auditory ways, which can help ensure that you’re covering the learning styles that work best for you while bolstering your grasp of a concept. Your revision will seem more manageable if you divide it up into a series of sessions and set yourself a specific task for each. Since you’re ill, be realistic about how much you can accomplish. Create checkpoints and allow yourself to rest when you reach them.  For example, you could break up sessions chronologically by studying a week or two of lectures at a time or thematically by studying a particular formula or concept. Remember to only focus on one thing at a time for each session. Multitasking is not only stressful, but it’s also less effective than honing in on a single subject or goal. It’s easy to get tired when you’re sick. Exhaustion will seriously compromise your ability to study effectively, so be sure to pause regularly for rest and relaxation. Doing so will ensure that you’re taking care of and listening to your body. It will also help you maintain your focus when you are studying.  Even when you’re healthy, it’s best to take breaks every 25 to 50 minutes in order to recharge your concentration. Take at least 5 to 15 minutes between sessions to give your body and brain the respite they need to function at their best.  If you’re sick, remember that brief but focused studying sessions will be more useful than trying to sustain your attention for hours at a time. Revising in short intervals is actually proven to be more effective than prolonged study sessions.

SUMMARY: Incorporate writing into your revision. Use active forms of studying. Stimulate more than one sense to reinforce important knowledge. Set reasonable goals. Take frequent breaks.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though it may seem obvious, reading the label on an item is a sure fire way to identify the type of leather. Products made of real leather will proudly say so on the label. If the label says, "vinyl" or "manmade materials," the item is faux. Examine the edges of the furniture or garment. Look at any place where the material has been sewn. Fake leather products will have a smooth, pristine edge that can feel almost plastic. Genuine leather will have a rougher, imperfect look around the edges. Take a close look at the pores (or small dots) of the fabric. You may have to look closely to see them. Faux leather will have pores in a perfect, consistent pattern. Real leather will have irregular, sporadically placed pores. Genuine leather can feel coarse, smooth, or somewhere in-between. Real leather is also flexible and soft. If the product in question feels very smooth or feels like plastic, it is probably faux leather. Synthetic leather can also be a bit stretchy. Familiarize yourself with leather textures by visiting a reputable leather store and getting a feel for both products. Real leather has a very distinct smell. It really cannot by replicated by faux materials. Real leather smells earthy. Faux leather may have no odor, or smell a bit like plastic. Once again, you can familiarize yourself by visiting a reputable leather store and getting a smell of both kinds of products.
Summary:
Read the label. Inspect the edge. Examine pores. Trust your touch. Smell the item.
