متن کاملProgression of early structural lung disease in young children with cystic fibrosis assessed using CT.
BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies implicate neutrophilic inflammation and pulmonary infection as risk factors for early structural lung disease in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the longitudinal progression in a newborn screened population has not been investigated. AIM To determine whether early CF structural lung disease persists and progresses over 1 year a...
متن کاملPolysomnographic Markers in Children With Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) often report poor sleep, increased daytime sleepiness, and fatigue. The purpose of this study was to identify respiratory patterns over the spectrum of disease severity in children with CF. The overall hypothesis for the current study is that children with CF compared with snoring control subjects demonstrate gas exchange abnormalitie...
