Cystic Fibrosis

I'm doing this in my lesson of health & social but I'm confused on which p.i.e.s these would effect?? xx] reply back PLEASE!!!

b

It would affect them socially and Emotionally, as they always have to attend hospital appointments so they wont get to go out with friends like everybody else. this in turn would then affect them emotionally as they never get to go out, as they're always out of breath and find it hard to exercise.

A genetic defect of the CFTR gene affects how the cells in the body distribute sodium. There are different mutations, but all allow too much sodium to leave the cell. Thus, the mucus in a person with cystic fibrosis loses it's fluidity and becomes very thick.

No-False

they haven't been able to pinpoint an exact percentage, but it is a known fact that about 1 out of every 3,000 people will have cystic fibrosis and that over 10 million people are carriers of the cystic fribrosis mutation.

I believe that it is beneficial to be heterozygous for the condition, since a slight mutation of the CFTR protein still occurs, provinding resistance to diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera. This is because the pathogens for the fever cannot enter through the mutated CFTR protein in the intestinal epithelium. This has increased (or rather "not decreased") the rate of carriers, and therefore the faulty recessive allele is "still around"

only half of the carrier's gametes contain the cystic fibrosis gene because they only inherit one gene from either the mother or father, not both. For someone to have cystic fibrosis they must have inherited a faulty gene from each parent.

There will be a cure when there are more people with it and there is alot more funding for research. As for now, people are busy trying to find cures for cancer. The numbers of patients with cancer out weigh those with Cystic Fibrosis, therefore Cystic Fibrosis research is given less financial aid. It has to do with numbers. Also waiting on improved technology as always.

Yes but unfortuently this only delays their death. It is possible that people with Cystic Fibrosis are unable to have a lung transplant. My friends mom had Cystic Fibrosis and moved to get a transplant but couldn't and was suffering couldn't live with it anymore, so she passed.

A cystic foci, or cystic focus, is when an ultrasound identifies a finding that is cystic-like. It mean there's a tiny collection of fluid wherever the cystic focus was found.

Mainly the lungs and pancreas. For males it clogs tubes in the testes.

The environment can have an effect on someone's disorder, and depending on the disorder, and the person, altering the environment could help. However, some disorders are not able to be helped through any means.

Cystic Fibrosis is caused by the gene which codes for the protein CFTR--Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator, which is found on chromosome 7. The protein transports chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes.

About one of every 30 white people (about 3 in 100 or about 3%) carries the gene. If a relative of yours has CF, or is known to be a carrier of CF, your chance of being a carrier is greater based on your family history than your ethnic background. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-shortening, childhood-onset inherited diseases. In the United States, 1 in 3900 children are born with CF. It is most common among Europeans and Ashkenazi Jews; one in twenty-two people of European descent are carriers of one gene for CF, making it the most common genetic disease in these populations. Ireland has the highest rate of CF carriers in the world (1 in 19).

a person with CF has to take anywhere from 10-30 pills a day. Time in the hospital depends on the severity. They can and often do live normal lives. Exercise and overall good general health has a lot to do with how easy things can be for them

The mucus that forms from cystic fibrosis affects the gas exchange in humans. The build up from cystic fibrosis can affect the gas exchange by increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen.

Dear Sir, My mom 75 presently facing acute ILD with Lung function 25-30%. Oxygen full day . Having 15 mg Steroid ( 10 mg morning + 5 mg in the evening) per day. She is not having regular food. Right now she is bed ridden. I would like to know what is the remedy for this. I shall be highly obliged if you can reply to me by mail . My mail id : natarajan17@gmail.com Mobile : 91+ 097730 49050

well it is normally black children who get it because of insufficient nutrition. It weakens the bones and joints in the limbs of the children so that they have random but frequent pain spasms that effect walking and movement all together. The families can be supported by specialists but there is no cure for the disease and it shouldn't get better or worse.

Cystic fribrosis is an inherited disease of the secretory glands, including the glands which produce sweat and mucus.

Cystic fibrosis has no cure. However, treatments have greatly improved in recent years. Early treatment for cystic fibrosis can improve both quality of life and lifespan.

Septal Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, in which child suffered from lung infection and kidney enlargement problems.

For a baby to be born with Cystic Fibrosis, both parents must be carriers of the faulty CF gene. Where both parents carry the faulty gene, each child has a one in four chance of having CF, a two in four chance of being a carrier and a one in four chance of not having any CF genes.
