Neonatal jaundice is usually mild and temporary, but in some cases it can reach dangerous levels if not treated in time. To avoid complications, such as neurological damage, clinical practice relies on early diagnosis and the use of controlled phototherapy devices, which emit light within a specific range and at a well-defined intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Researchers from the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, the Francesc de Borja University Hospital in Gandia, and the La Ribera University Hospital, through the Fisabio Foundation, have found that sunlight passing through home windows is neither a safe nor a recommended alternative for preventing or treating neonatal jaundice, a condition that affects more than half of all newborns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
