        content: How long does it take for newborn jaundice to go away?
    output:
      text: >-
        Newborn jaundice, also known as neonatal jaundice, is a common condition
        in newborns where the yellowing of the skin and eyes occurs due to an
        elevated level of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment
        that forms when red blood cells break down. In most cases, newborn
        jaundice resolves on its own without any specific treatment.

        The duration of newborn jaundice can vary depending on several factors
        such as the underlying cause, gestational age at birth, and individual
        variations in bilirubin metabolism. Here are some general guidelines:

        1. Physiological jaundice: This is the most common type of newborn
        jaundice and usually appears within 24-72 hours after birth. It tends to
        peak between the second and fifth day of life and gradually improves
        over the next week or two. By the time the baby is one week old, the
        jaundice should have mostly resolved. 2. Breast milk jaundice: This type
        of jaundice occurs in breastfed babies and may appear later than
        physiological jaundice, typically between the fifth and fourteenth day
        of life. It tends to persist for a longer duration but usually resolves
        within six weeks after birth. 3. Pathological jaundice: This type of
        jaundice is less common and occurs due to an underlying medical
        condition that affects bilirubin metabolism or liver function. The
        duration of pathological jaundice depends on the specific cause and may
        require treatment.

        It's important for parents to monitor their newborn's jaundice closely
        and seek medical advice if the jaundice progresses rapidly, becomes
        severe, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as poor feeding,
        lethargy, or excessive sleepiness. In these cases, further evaluation
        and management may be necessary. Remember that each baby is unique, and
        the timing of jaundice resolution can vary. If you have concerns about
        your newborn's jaundice, it's always best to consult with a healthcare
        professional for personalized advice and guidance.

Advisory Notice!

While OpenBioLLM-70B & 8B leverages high-quality data sources, its outputs may still contain inaccuracies, biases, or misalignments that could pose risks if relied upon for medical decision-making without further testing and refinement. The model's performance has not yet been rigorously evaluated in randomized controlled trials or real-world healthcare environments.

Therefore, we strongly advise against using OpenBioLLM-70B & 8B for any direct patient care, clinical decision support, or other professional medical purposes at this time. Its use should be limited to research, development, and exploratory applications by qualified individuals who understand its limitations. OpenBioLLM-70B & 8B are intended solely as a research tool to assist healthcare professionals and should never be considered a replacement for the professional judgment and expertise of a qualified medical doctor.

Appropriately adapting and validating OpenBioLLM-70B & 8B for specific medical use cases would require significant additional work, potentially including:

Thorough testing and evaluation in relevant clinical scenarios
Alignment with evidence-based guidelines and best practices
Mitigation of potential biases and failure modes
Integration with human oversight and interpretation
Compliance with regulatory and ethical standards

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal medical needs.
