Diagnosis and Treatment in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Is and inherited disease that first appears in childhood and is characterized by chronic lung disease, a dificiency of pancreatic enzymes and an abnormally high concentration of salt In the sweat. Although it is a generalized body disease, it was misnamed cystic fibrosis of the pancreas because it changes in th pancreas attracted the attention of the early investigators Tecnically. the disease is known as mucoviscidosis. In cystic fibrosis, the products of the exocrine glands have a variety abnormalties. In…...

An Overview of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disease of Caucasians. which causes certain glands to malfunction. In CF mucous glands produce a thick. sticky mucus which interferes with breathing and digestion. Mucus clogs passages in lungs and ain/vays. causing breathing difficulty. chronic coughing, and sometimes heart failure. Mucus also blocks ducts in the pancreas. preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines. and it may also clog the liver and digestive tract. Today about 30.000 people in the United…...

A Study on the Hereditary Disease Called Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is a lifelong, hereditary disease. It usually affects the lungs causing thick, sticky mucus to form, making it difficult to breathe. It also blocks the pancreas pathways leading to the digestive system, which causes problems for properly digesting food. Cystic Fibrosis, also known as CF, is the second most life-threatening disorder, occurring in childhood. Some symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis include, salty-tasting skin, wheezing or shortness of breath, persistent cough, frequent lung infections (such as pneumonia or bronchitis), poor…...

A Discussion on the Effects of Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is characterized by a build-up of thick, sticky mucus that can bring about the onset of progressive damage to the respiratory system and chronic digestive system debilitationst. The abnormal mucus can clog airways, which may lead to respiratory conditions and bacterial infections in the lungs, causing chronic coughing, wheezing, and inflammation. Accumulation of mucus and infectious agents results in permanent lung tissue damage, formation of fibrous scar tissue, and the development of cysts in the lungs. Due to…...

An Examination of the CRISPR Cas9 Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7 which damages the lungs and digestive systems. As scientists have aimed to cure and prevent cystic fibrosis, distinctive technology CRISPR Cas9 has been introduced which allows scientists to make changes to DNA in cells that could cure genetic disorders. The development of inquiry question ‘does CRISPR Cass have the potential to accurately prevent and cure cystic fibrosis? ',…...

A Clinical Description of the Causes and Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common life-threatening disease in North America. One in every twenty-five hundred children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis what is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic Fibrosis is a disease with no cure and the disorder itself is inherited. It affects the lungs and the digestive system. Cystic fibrosis affects the lung severely causing serious respiratory problems. Also affecting the pancreas liver sweat glands and salivary glands in the mouth are affected. All these organs and…...
