A few days later, a black notebook of otherwise similar appearance called the "HP Mini 1000" was informally revealed by a banner on the company's store, and officially announced on 29 October 2008. Unlike the 2133, this device is meant for the home market. An upgrade to the 2133, the HP Mini 2140, was announced by HP in January 2009.
In severe cases, it is manifested as jaundice, the yellowing of tissues like skin and the sclera when excess bilirubin deposits in them. [1] The US records 52,500 jaundice patients annually. [ 2 ] By definition, bilirubin concentration of greater than 3 mg/dL is considered hyperbilirubinemia, following which jaundice progressively develops and ...
The HP Mini 1000 is a netbook by HP, adapting that company's HP 2133 Mini-Note PC education/business netbook for the consumer market. [7] A similar but cheaper model named the HP Compaq Mini 700 will also be available in some regions with different cosmetics. [ 8 ]
[4] [5] They have also been shown to inhibit the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, and oxidants – all of which are mutagens. Some studies have found that people with higher concentration levels of bilirubin and biliverdin in their bodies have a lower frequency of cancer and cardiovascular disease. [4]
Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia is a distinct yet similar disorder to Dubin–Johnson syndrome [1] – both diseases cause an increase in conjugated bilirubin, but Rotor syndrome differs in that it is a result of impaired hepatocellular storage of conjugated bilirubin that leaks into plasma causing hyperbilirubinemia. [2]
Hemolytic causes associated with bilirubin overproduction are diverse and include disorders such as sickle cell anemia, [2] hereditary spherocytosis, [3] thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, [4] autoimmune hemolytic anemia, [5] hemolysis secondary to drug toxicity, [6] thalassemia minor, [7] and congenital dyserythropoietic anemias.

A deficiency in the bilirubin specific form of glucuronosyltransferase is thought to be the cause of Gilbert's syndrome, which is characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. It is also associated with Crigler–Najjar syndrome , a more serious disorder where the enzyme's activity is either completely absent (Crigler–Najjar syndrome type ...
In histology (microscopic anatomy), the lobules of liver, or hepatic lobules, are small divisions of the liver defined at the microscopic scale. The hepatic lobule is a building block of the liver tissue, consisting of portal triads, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein.
