Understanding the Relation Between Exocrine Pancreas (EPI) and Cystic Fibrosis
By: Researcher Taymur Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick, oily, rather than thin or runny body fluids. The lungs and digestive system are badly affected. Individuals with cystic fibrosis have difficulty breathing because mucus blocks their lungs and makes them susceptible to infection. Thick mucus also blocks the pancreas and prevents digestive enzymes from being released. Roughly 90 per cent of cystic fibrosis patients also experience pancreatic insufficiency exocrine (EPI). Continue to read about how these two conditions are related. Understanding Cystic Fibrosis Causes The CFTR gene deficiency is due to cystic fibrosis. Cells make sticky, dense liquids by a mutation in this gene. A young age…

Tips to Reduce the Risk of Cystic Fibrosis Transverse Infections
By: Researcher Taymur Understanding Cystic Fibrosis Germs are difficult to prevent. Bacteria, viruses and fungi can be found everywhere you go. Some germs are harmless in healthy people, but to someone with cyst fibrosis they are potentially harmful. The adherent mucus produced by people with cystic fibrosis in the lungs is the perfect environment to multiply germs. Cystic fibrosis may cause germs that normally don’t sicken healthy individuals to get sick. Those comprise: Aspergillus fumigatus: a fungus that causes lung inflammation Cepacia complex burkholderia (B. cepacia): a group of bacteria that cause respiratory infections and often are antibiotic-resistant A community of lung, skin and soft tissue-causing bacteria in people with…

Is There is Any Available Cure for Cystic Fibrosis?
By: Researcher Taymur Understanding Cystic Fibrosis The genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system is known as cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF affects the mucus-producing cells in the body. Such liquids are meant for the body to grain and are typically slim and thin. CF densifies and binds these body fluids, allowing them to build up in the lungs, airways and digestive tract. While medical advancements have greatly improved people with CF’s quality of life and life expectancy, the most need to deal with the situation for their entire lives. There’s actually no treatment for CF, but scientists ‘ focus is on it. Read about recent research and what…

Testing and Finding Cystic Fibrosis in Babies and Children
By: Researcher Taymur Understanding Cystic Fibrosis The genetic disease is cystic fibrosis (CF). Breathing problems, respiratory infections and lung damage can occur. CF is the product of an inherited defective gene that prevents or alters the movement within and outside cells of the body of sodium chloride or salt. The lack of movement causes the lungs to produce a hot, dense and sticky mucus. Thicker still digestive juices. This can affect the absorption of nutrients. A baby with CF could also have growth issues without proper nutrition. It is important to achieve an early diagnosis and CF treatment. When the disease is caught early, CF therapies are more successful. Understanding…

Understanding is Cystic Fibrosis Contagious?
By: Researcher Taymur Understanding Cystic Fibrosis However the inherited genetic disorder is cystic fibrosis not contagious. Because It’s not infectious. So for order to get the disorder, both parents must inherit the defective cyst fibrosis gene. Because the disease causes the body’s mucus to become thick and sticky and to expand in your bodies. So the role of your pulmonary, pancreas, reproductive and other organs, as well as your sweat glands may be impaired. Therefore Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening and debilitating condition. Because it is a chromosome seven mutation. So this mutation causes defects with or without a particular protein. However the transmembrane mechanism is known as cystic fibrosis.…

Begin to Put your Wellbeing First for Sufferers with Cystic Fibrosis
By: Researcher Taymur Dear Sufferers You wouldn’t know that by looking at me, I have cystic fibrosis. I have an incurable disease and the condition affects my lungs and pancreas, making it difficult to breathe and gain weight. I’ve been brought up to be mindful of my safety, which is one of my parents ‘ best things about me. When I was ready for college, I had eight years of separate sorting of my regular pill cases. In high school I would go to the appointments of doctors alone sometimes, so I had concerns not for my mom, but for me. I would survive on my own, finally. Yet I…
