46 sweat-samples from 32 children with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas (C.F.) and 35 samples from 23 control-children were collected with glass micro-capillaries. Protein was determined by ultramicro-electrophoresis. ## Results: 1. protein was detected in 48% of the samples (c.f. and controls). 2.
The hypothesis by Doggett and Harrison, according to which alpha-amylase is the pathogenic factor of the exocrinopathy in cystic fibrosis (C.F.), is investigated. No elevation of alpha-amylase in sweat and serum of C.F. patients, as compared with controls of similar age, is observed. It is concluded
In our previous work it was found that in cystic fibrosis patients with and without pancreatic insufficiency, the fatty acid pattern of the plasma long chain, non-esterified fatty acid fraction is strikingly abnormal in comparison with the corresponding pattern of healthy subjects. However, other in
We set out to determine the effects of various estimates of arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) on calculation of cardiac output (Q) by the indirect Fick (CO2) method in healthy children and children with cystic fibrosis (CF), and to develop a prediction equation for children for PaCO2, based on end-tidal PCO2 (P
