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 کاملSmoking and cystic fibrosis.
The harmful effects of smoking are now well documented1,2. The UK figures are disturbing: although the prevalence of smoking for adults is falling, in children it has been steadily rising since 19923. Passive smoking has been implicated in lung cancer, heart disease and respiratory diseases4,5. Children are most vulnerable to passive smoking, especially if they already have preexisting lung dis...
متن کاملPlasma phosphatidylcholine alterations in cystic fibrosis patients: impaired metabolism and correlation with lung function and inflammation.
BACKGROUND Liver impairment, ranging from steatosis to cirrhosis, is frequent in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and is becoming increasingly significant due to their improved life expectancy. One aspect of hepatic alterations is caused by increased fecal loss of the essential nutrient choline, following enterohepatic bile phosphatidylcholine (PC) cycle impairment. Hepatic PC synthesis, both de n...
متن کاملDenufosol tetrasodium in patients with cystic fibrosis and normal to mildly impaired lung function.
RATIONALE Intervention for cystic fibrosis lung disease early in its course has the potential to delay or prevent progressive changes that lead to irreversible airflow obstruction. Denufosol is a novel ion channel regulator designed to correct the ion transport defect and increase the overall mucociliary clearance in cystic fibrosis lung disease by increasing chloride secretion, inhibiting sodi...
متن کاملEarly airway infection, inflammation, and lung function in cystic fibrosis.
AIMS To determine the relation between lower airway infection and inflammation, respiratory symptoms, and lung function in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS A prospective study of children with CF aged younger than 3 years, diagnosed by a newborn screening programme. All were clinically stable and had testing as outpatients. Subjects underwent bronchial lavage (BL)...
