Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by a defective gene that produces a thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and pancreas. Symptoms include persistent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, lung infections, and salty-tasting skin. There is no cure, but treatments aim to clear mucus from the lungs and aid digestion. Life expectancy has increased to around 37 years on average with advances in care and new therapies targeting the underlying genetic cause.

Description:
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease of the secretory glands that affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and sex organs.
Definition:
Cystic Fibrosis is characterized by an abnormally thick and sticky production of mucus in the body.
Mucus is normal in the body, it lubricates and protects passages such as the respiratory airways and digestive tract (Genetics Home Reference. 2017). Cystic Fibrosis is a mutation in the the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene that causes the over production of thick, sticky mucus that can block these passages and create breeding grounds for infection (National Human Genome Research Institute 2013). This infection can lead to scaring, permanent lung damage and even death. This mucus in the digestive tract can prevent the absorption of nutrients leading to weight loss, malnutrition, failure to thrive, as well as numerous long term problems caused from poor nutrition even though the person may be eating a solid health diet (Genetics Home Reference. 2017). The affects this mucus has on the pancreas can alter insulin production leading to diabetes. Reproductive health is also affected from the mucus produced from cystic fibrosis often leading to infertility (Genetics Home Reference. 2017).

History
1938- American Pathologist Dr. Dorothy Andersen named the disease cystic fibrosis of the pancreas
Early 1900’s- Physicians name the disease mucoviscidosis
1595- Texts reference the link between children with salty skin and early death rates
1948- Dr. Paul di Sant’Agnese noted the correlation of increased salt in sweat of CF patients
1989- The gene (CFTR) was identified and its genetic code was sequenced
1938, American Pathologist Dr. Dorothy Andersen described a disorder in medical literature based on autopsy findings of children that died from malnutrition; She named the disease cystic fibrosis of the pancreas (Nick 2012). The disease has also been called mucoviscidosis by other physician during the same time period because of the thick mucus present (Nick 2012). Children in the middle ages we.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. WHAT IS CYSTIC
FIBROSIS?
It is a chronic disease passed down
through families that affects the
respiratory and digestive systems.
Mucous
3. CAUSES
Both parents pass on a defective gene called, cystic
fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR). This gene produces a protein that normally
helps salt move in and out of the cells. In cystic
fibrosis, the protein doesn’t work correctly and the
movement is blocked producing a thick, sticky mucous
is on the outside of the cell and and very salty sweat.
4. .
If both parents are
carriers, there is a
25% chance of
inheriting the
gene, 50% chance
of having a copy
and being a
carrier, and a 25%
of not having or
carrying the gene.
In order to
inherit CF, one
must inherit
both copies of
the defective
CFTR gene from
their parents.
5. SYMPTOMS
• Persistent coughing (at times with phlegm)
• Wheezing
• Increased shortness of breath
• Respiratory illnesses (pneumonia or bronchitis)
• Loss of appetite or weight loss
• Salty-tasting skin
• Frequent lung infections
• Nasal congestion
• Repeated inflammation of the pancreas
6. DIAGNOSIS
• Immunoreactive trypsinogen test- doctors measure the
amount of trypsinogen (a protein) in the blood. High level of
this protein suggests possible CF and requires further testing.
• Sweat chloride test- standard diagnostic test for CF. Sweat is
collected from person's arm or leg and taken to laboratory to
be analyzed measuring amount of salt (sodium chloride) in
sweat. A high salt level in patient's sweat is sign of the
disease.
• Genetic Carrier Testing- used to tell if the person carries one
or more mutations of the CF gene and how many copies of
each mutation. Looks at person’s DNA (genetic material) from
cells that are gently scraped from inside the mouth or cells
from a blood sample
7. EFFECTS
• The lungs when mucus builds up and gets stuck in the
airways. This increases risk of infection caused by bacteria.
• The pancreas when mucous blocks ducts causing digestive
enzymes to not get into the intestines. Without enzymes,
intestines cant properly digest food.
• Sweat glands when too much salt is lost through sweat
disrupting the balance of minerals in your body.
• And many more in the intestines, liver, gallbladder and
reproductive organs.
8. TREATMENTS
• No cure for cystic fibrosis
• Cystic fibrosis specialty clinics for children and adults
• Chest physical therapy- the patient is repeatedly clapped on
the back to free up mucous in chest
• Inhaled antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause lung
infections
• Gene therapy- healthy CFTR gene is inserted into the lung
cells of a patient to correct the defective gene
• Exercising two or three times each week
• Take enzymes everyday with meals to make sure food is
digested
9. PROGNOSIS
• Most children are fairly healthy until they reach adulthood, but
most are able to finish college or find employment
• Can attend school and are able to participate in majority of
activities
• Average life span for people who live to adulthood is about 37
years…depends on the severity of disease and parts of the
body involved
• Death most likely caused by lung complications
10. STATISTICS
• About 2,500 babies are born with CF in the U.S. each year
• More than 10 million Americans carry the CF gene but don't
know it
• 1 of every 3,600 Caucasian children is born with CF
• 1 of every 17,000 African Americans is born with CF
• 1 of every 90,000 Asian Americans is born with CF
11. Current ResearchCurrent Research
• Kalydeco- FDA approved in 2012, is the first drug
available that targets the underlying cause of CF.
• Hypertonic Saline is an inhaled therapy that
increases hydration of airway surface liquid with CF.
• The CF foundation is maintaining a robust pipeline
of potential therapies that target the disease from
every angle.
