Beyoncé, Jay Z’s twins born premature, treated for jaundice

Celebrity couple and proud parents, Beyoncé and husband, Jay Z

Megastar musician couple, Beyoncé and Jay Z’s twins are reported to have been born ahead of their Expected Date of Delivery.

As reported by Daily Mail Online, the babies were born prematurely and are being treated for jaundice.

The pair have not left the hospital since Beyoncé was admitted for delivery eight days ago; and it was previously reported that doctors had opted to keep them in for a ‘minor issue.’

The twins will have spent most of their first days under ‘bili lights,’ the photo-therapy designed to eliminate high levels of bilirubin in the blood.

Physicians say jaundice is quite common among newborns, especially pre-term births; and twins are said to be more susceptible since they are rarely carried to full term.

The yellow substance is created when old red blood cells are replaced by new ones; and heightened levels cause a baby’s skin and eyes to turn yellow.

If left untreated, physicians say it can be very dangerous; but once diagnosed, it is easily and usually successfully treated.

However, there is no concrete details regarding the sexes or names of the babies so far.

15 Business Theories That Will Improve Your Living

1. Humans respond best to motivation theory Many companies operate on the "principal agent," or "incentive theory. " It's based on research by economists Michael Jensen and William Meckling , who determined that Human beings work as hard as you pay them.

If you choose a job based on motivating factors, you are much more likely to be rewarded with hygiene factors, because you will do your job well — you're intrinsically motivated. Hygiene factors only go so far, and operating on a principal agent theory will eventually lead to burnout. 2.

Family declines autopsy for U.S. student released by North Korea

An Ohio coroner, abiding by family wishes, has performed an external examination instead of a full autopsy on the body of the U.S. student who was held prisoner in North Korea for 17 months and sent home in a coma, the agency said on Tuesday. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office was still conferring on Tuesday with doctors at a Cincinnati hospital who were treating Otto Warmbier, 22, before reaching any conclusions about his death a day earlier, investigator Daryl Zornes said. Investigators also were continuing to review radiological images and awaiting additional medical records requested by the coroner, Zornes said. He declined to estimate how long it would take for the coroner's office to complete its inquiry. Preliminary autopsy findings had been expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a com...
