We aimed to examine the influence of early social and clinical factors on long-term survival. A case-control study of adult CF patients was used to compare long-term survivors (aged ≥40 yrs) with patients who died before reaching 30 yrs of age. Each case (n = 78) was ...
A patient's experience of cystic fibrosis care
In my experience, non-adherence is often not a case of people choosing not to take their medication. It has much more to do with finding the mental resilience needed to cope with the burden of cystic fibrosis, as well as a desire to fit in with peers, and the demands of work and school. Helping people and their families to better manage anxiety ...

Cystic Fibrosis in a 20-Year-Old Female Patient Case Study
Case Presentation. Miss Shannon, a 20-year-old woman, has received a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. During an office visit, she tells the nurse that she has been talking with her specialist about gene therapy. Her specialist suggested that she consider being a participant in a current research trial. Ms.
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a disorder that damages your lungs, digestive tract and other organs. It's an inherited disease caused by a defective gene that can be passed from generation to generation. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery.
Cystic Fibrosis Case for First-Year Medical Students
This case on cystic fibrosis was written as a joint effort by faculty members from the departments of physiology, cell biology, and biochemistry genetics as an integrated case for first-year medical students in a team-based learning format. The case provides basic background clinical information covering material that students were introduced ...
A review of cystic fibrosis: Basic and clinical aspects
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations of the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). We summarize clinical and genetic characteristics of cystic fibrosis gene mutations, as well as animal models used to study human cystic fibrosis disease. 1.
Children's Experiences of Cystic Fibrosis: A Systematic Review of
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common life-shortening genetic disease and is associated with poor psychosocial and quality of life outcomes. The objective of this study was to describe the experiences and perspectives of children and adolescents with CF to direct care toward areas that patients regard as important.METHODS:.

A new study hopes to find out whether cystic fibrosis could be treated
Building on the individual clinical case reports, our latest research showed that when Trikafta is taken during pregnancy, it does cross the placenta in animal models, accumulating in key cystic fibrosis tissues including the pancreas, liver, lungs and the brain. Childcare centres and car exhaust: A dangerous mix

Further studies led to the hypothesis that the faulty chloride channel must be situated in the apical membranes of the lung surface or glandular epithelium to explain the respiratory and systemic organ failure associated with cystic fibrosis. Researchers now know that cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder of exocrine gland function ...
Comparative microbiome analysis in cystic fibrosis and non-cystic
Bronchiectasis is a condition characterized by abnormal and irreversible bronchial dilation resulting from lung tissue damage and can be categorized into two main groups: cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFB). Both diseases are marked by recurrent infections, inflammatory exacerbations, and lung damage. Given that infections are the primary drivers of disease progression ...
Prenatal Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis by Celocentesis
Celocentesis is a new sampling tool for prenatal diagnosis available from 7 weeks in case of couples at risk for genetic diseases. In this study, we reported the feasibility of earlier prenatal diagnosis by celocentesis in four cases of cystic fibrosis and one case of cystic fibrosis and β-thalassemia co-inherited in the same fetus. Celomic fluids were aspired from the celomic cavity between ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common life-limiting hereditary diseases in Caucasian populations. The main defect in CF is a dysfunctional CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein coded by the CFTR gene localized on the long arm of the seventh chromosome. 1 Despite the early discovery of the gene in 1989 and progress in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease, it ...
