Liabilities and expenses are both key components that are included in the company financial statements, and represent the outflows of funds to be made during the current period or at a future date. The main difference between liabilities and expenses are the timing under which they are realised.
What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice? Excess bilirubin in a newborn causes the yellowish or jaundiced colour of the skin and the eyes. Jaundice first appears in the infant's face, especially noticeable in the eyes, and as bilirubin levels increase, the yellow colour becomes evident on the rest of the body.
In newborns, jaundice is detected by blanching the skin with pressure applied by a finger so that it reveals underlying skin and subcutaneous tissue. Jaundiced newborns have yellow discoloration of the white part of the eye, and yellowing of the face, extending down onto the chest. Neonatal jaundice can make the newborn sleepy and interfere with feeding. Extreme jaundice can cause permanent brain damage from kernicterus. In neonates, the yellow discoloration of the skin is first noted in the face and as the bilirubin level rises proceeds caudal to the trunk and then to the extremities.
