A 17-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis (forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, 36% and 14% of predicted values, respectively) developed severe right-sided lung infections with abscess formations and complete atelectases unresponsive to medical therapy. In both patients, unilateral

Mutation analysis was performed on 42 unrelated Israeli Arab CF patients. The previously known mutations in this population, โ โF508, N1303K, G542X, 4010delTATT, and S549R(T>G), were identified in 57 CF alleles, leaving 28 CF alleles with unknown mutations. Screening of the coding sequence of the CF
Several studies have demonstrated ongoing oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis (CF). With the complexity of the antioxidant network, measurement of individual antioxidants does not necessarily assess how they work in combination. One measure that has been proposed as a gauge of total plasma antioxida
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced from three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), neuronal (nNOS), endothelial (eNOS) and inducible (iNOS). Cystic ยฎbrosis (CF) patients have an increased bacterial load in the airways which stimulates iNOS and therefore NO production. Upregulation of iNOS in normal e
