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 کاملAcute inhalation of hypertonic saline does not improve mucociliary clearance in all children with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND Little is known of how mucociliary clearance (MCC) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and normal pulmonary function compares with healthy adults, or how an acute inhalation of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) aerosol affects MCC in these same children. METHODS We compared MCC in 12 children with CF and normal pulmonary function after an acute inhalation of 0.12% saline (placebo), or HS...
متن کاملTemporary tracheal occlusion in fetal sheep with lung hypoplasia does not improve postnatal lung function.
Prolonged fetal tracheal occlusion (TO) accelerates lung growth but leads to loss of alveolar epithelial type II (AE2) cells. In contrast, temporary TO leads to recovery of AE2 cells and their ability to produce surfactant. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of temporary TO in fetal sheep with lung hypoplasia on postnatal lung function, structure, and surfactant protein mRNA exp...
متن کاملGlobal Lung Function Initiative equations improve interpretation of FEV1 decline among patients with cystic fibrosis.
The prognosis for individuals with cystic fibrosis has improved markedly over the last 50 years, with most countries now reporting that 50% of the population reach at least 35 years of age [1–3]. Despite this improvement, the average age at death is still in the late 20s and varies enormously between cystic fibrosis centres and countries [4]. To further improve the trajectory of lung disease, i...
متن کاملPredictors of deterioration of lung function in cystic fibrosis.
The severity of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) may be related to the type of mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, and to environmental and immunological factors. Since pulmonary disease is the main determinant of morbidity and mortality in CF, it is important to identify factors that can explain and predict this variation. The aim of this longit...
