Cystic fibrosis testing -- next steps
Three reports describing advances in cystic fibrosis genetic testing appear in the May 2009 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. View More (2009-04-28)
Antibiotic Could Offer Promise For Treatment Of Cystic Fibrosis
The antibiotic azithromycin could offer some benefit to people with cystic fibrosis if they do not respond to conventional treatment, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Cystic fibrosis is a severe genetic disorder-the most commonly recessively inherited disorder in white populations. Treatment is limited, and aimed at counteracting chronic respiratory infection. The... View More (2002-09-25)
Inhaled Antibiotic For Treatment Of Early Lung Infection In Patients With Cystic Fibrosis (p 983)
Inhalation of the antibiotic tobramycin could have an important future role in reducing lung infection of patients with cystic fibrosis, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. More than 80% of patients with cystic fibrosis are chronically infected by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Infection reduces lung function, and leads to substantially reduced life...

Breathe deep: Which patients could benefit from inhaled steroids in cystic fibrosis?
A specific variation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene is associated with lung disease progression in cystic fibrosis, research published this week in the online open access journal Respiratory Research reveals. View More (2007-11-29)
THE VALUE OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS SCREENING (p 789)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET concludes that screening babies for cystic fibrosis provides the opportunity for more reliable prenatal diagnosis of the disease. The value of screening for the currently incurable disease cystic fibrosis has been the subject of debate over the past few years. Virginie Scotet and colleagues assessed the results of 10 years of screening in... View More (2000-08-30)
Women with cystic fibrosis "too embarrassed" to seek help for incontinence
A study in this week's BMJ finds that over two-thirds of women with the chest disease cystic fibrosis suffer urinary incontinence, yet are reluctant to seek help. Given that incontinence can affect a patient's ability to perform essential daily treatment procedures, addressing this problem should become part of the routine management of cystic fibrosis, report the authors. Researchers at the... View More (2001-06-20)
Scientists discover basic defect in cystic fibrosis airway glands
Scientists at Stanford University have determined that the buildup of sticky mucus found in cystic fibrosis is caused by a loss in the epithelial cell's ability to secrete fluid. View More (2006-03-20)
Insights into a new therapy for a rare form of cystic fibrosis
Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto have established that a drug recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat a rare form of cystic fibrosis works in an unconventional way. View More (2012-10-29)
Trial Reveals Safer And Simpler Approach To Treating Children With Cystic Fibrosis
Treating chest infections in young cystic fibrosis patients with an antibiotic once instead of three times daily is as effective and less toxic, conclude the results of a randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. View More (2005-02-09)
Protein opens hope of treatment for cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists have finally identified a direct role for the missing protein that leaves cystic fibrosis patients open to attack from lung-damaging bacteria, the main reason most of them die before their 35th birthday, scientists heard today (Thursday 11 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin.

Key Found to Kill Cystic Fibrosis Superbug
Researchers from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at The University of Western Ontario , working with a group from Edinburgh, have discovered a way to kill the cystic fibrosis superbug, Burkholderia cenocepacia. View More (2007-04-25)
Cystic fibrosis treatments may have unseen long-term benefits
Cystic fibrosis medicines that help to break down mucus in the lungs may carry an unexpected long-term benefit, a study suggests. View More (2009-07-17)
Research promising for cystic fibrosis
New U of T research holds promise for developing innovative therapies against cystic fibrosis and may also serve as a model for future therapies against the HIV virus. View More (2008-03-19)
New proteins to clear the airways in cystic fibrosis and COPD
University of North Carolina scientists have uncovered a new strategy that may one day help people with cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder better clear the thick and sticky mucus that clogs their lungs and leads to life-threatening infections. View More (2012-07-16)
University of Ulster Innovation Aids Cystic Fibrosis Patients Worldwide
A new exercise technique developed by a University of Ulster physiotherapist is helping cystic fibrosis (CF) sufferers worldwide. The new exercise measuring technique, pioneered by Dr Judy Bradley, a lecturer/practitioner in physiotherapy at the University' of Ulster, is to be discussed by Europe's top clinicians and researchers at a conference in Belfast next month. Called the 'Modified... View More (2003-05-23)
Study finds that people with cystic fibrosis who live in deprived areas have worse health
A study by the University of Liverpool has found that people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who live in deprived areas have worse growth and lung function than people living in more advantaged areas. View More (2013-01-30)
One Step Closer to a Drug Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis, MU Professor Says
A University of Missouri researcher believes his latest work moves scientists closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis, one of the world's most common fatal genetic diseases. View More (2010-10-13)
Rise in CF patient infections explained
Researchers at Papworth Hospital, the University of Cambridge and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have discovered why a new type of dangerous bacterial infection has become more common among people with Cystic Fibrosis around the world. View More (2013-03-29)
Scientists to sequence DNA of cystic fibrosis superbug
The bacterium, called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is the most common cause of persistent and fatal lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. View More (2011-02-22)
Ibuprofen can slow lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis, Canadian study shows
The results of a clinical trial, published in late August in the Journal of Pediatrics, indicates that, when used as part of routine therapy, high-dose ibuprofen is safe, and effective in slowing down lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). View More (2007-09-05)
