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.

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...

Uber Founder Travis Kalanick Resigns as C.E.O

Uber Founder Travis Kalanick Travis Kalanick stepped down Tuesday as chief executive of Uber, the ride-hailing service that he helped found in 2009 and that he built into a transportation colossus, after a shareholder revolt made it untenable for him to stay on at the company. Mr. Kalanick’s exit came under pressure after hours of drama involving Uber’s investors, according to two people with knowledge of the situation, who asked to remain anonymous because the details are confidential. Earlier on Tuesday, five of Uber’s major investors demanded that the chief executive resign immediately. The investors included one of Uber’s biggest ...
