Lung function in infants with cystic fibrosis.
Lung function was measured in 28 infants with cystic fibrosis and repeated in 17 of the infants during the first year of life. Thoracic gas volume (TGV) and specific airway conductance (sGaw) were measured plethysmographically and maximum forced expiratory flow at functional residual capacity (VmaxFRC) was derived from the partial expiratory flow-volume curve. At the time of the initial evaluat...

متن کاملTemocillin in cystic fibrosis: a retrospective pilot study.
BACKGROUND Temocillin is currently used in the treatment of acute pulmonary exacerbations caused by Burkholderia cepacia complex and multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients despite little published clinical data. This study assessed if intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy including temocillin was equivalent to standard combination therapy for an acute exacerbation...
متن کاملWhole body vibration in cystic fibrosis--a pilot study.
INTRODUCTION In cystic fibrosis (CF), bone mass deficits as well as a lack of muscle mass and force have been described. The bone mass deficits are thought to be at least in part secondary to the reduced muscle mass. Whole body vibration has recently been suggested as an effective technique to increase muscle force and power. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the compliance and safety...
متن کاملLow Bone Mineral Density and Associated Factors in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Failure to maintain bone mass density is a major complication in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and also identifying associated risk factors in CF patients. Materials and Methods: Present study conducted on 59 CF patients aged 5-35 years referred to respiratory clinic of Masih Daneshvari Hospi...
