Phénomène consécutif aux échanges placentaires qui, au cours de la gestation, peuvent laisser passer le sang du fœtus dans la circulation maternelle. Cette transfusion fœtomaternelle peut aboutir à l'immunisation de la mère contre des antigènes du sang fœtal. [...] Il en résulte l'apparition d'anticorps maternels anti-D, gammaglobulines capables de traverser le placenta et de détruire les hématies D du fœtus [...] 3, record 1, French, - allo%2Dimmunisation%20f%26oelig%3Btomaternelle

In severe congenital hemolytic anemias, marked new bone formation perpendicular to the tables of the skull, producing a radial hair-on-end appearance. Although most commonly seen in patients with thalassemia, the hair-on-end pattern may also be produced in patients with sickle cell disease or spherocytosis, as well as in some persons with iron-deficiency anemia.

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Water-insoluble, unconjugated bilirubin normally travels in the bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted to a water-soluble, conjugated form and excreted into the bile. In a healthy person about 250 mg of bilirubin are produced daily. The majority of bilirubin is excreted in the stool. The characteristic yellow pallor of jaundice is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood and in the tissues of the skin. Testing for bilirubin in the blood provides information for diagnosis and evaluation of liver disease, biliary obstruction, and hemolytic anemia. Normal levels of total bilirubin are 0. 1 to 1. 0 mg/dl or 5. 1-17. 0 mmol/L. 2, record 4, English, - bilirubin

La bilirrubina es liberada por los glóbulos rojos viejos o dañados. Pequeñas cantidades de bilirrubina circulan normalmente en el torrente sanguíneo, hasta que llega al hígado donde se metaboliza para eliminarse posteriormente por los intestinos. Su aumento en la sangre produce la coloración amarilla de la piel llamada ictericia y puede ser indicación de enfermedad hepática o destrucción acelerada y masiva de glóbulos rojos. 2, record 4, Spanish, - bilirrubina
