Megan Forziati Troy Antonucci CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Definition A life-threatening disorder that causes severe lung damage and nutritional deficiencies. Affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. A hereditary disorder characterized by lung congestion and infection, and mall-absorption of nutrients by the pancreas.

S YMPTOMS One of the first signs of Cystic Fbrosis is an excessively salty taste to the skin or dehydration. Also known as the Salty Kiss Fatigue One of the usual physical signs of Cystic Fibrosis is noticeable digital clubbing. Digital clubbing is where the tips of fingers or toes have an unusually large amount of excess tissue.

S YMPTOMS C ONTINUED Respiratory signs- Persistent cough Wheezing Repeated lung infections Repeated sinus infections Recurrent chronic cough, possibly with blood streaking Bronchitis Digestive signs- Poor weight gain and growth Foul-smelling, pale, greasy stools Distended abdomen from constipation Intestinal blockage, particularly in newborns

TREATMENTS There is not a cure for Cystic Fibrosis but treatments can reduce the symptoms. Medications- Antibiotics - Used to treat and prevent lung infections Mucus-thinning drugs - Drugs that reduce the stickiness of mucus make it easier to cough up the mucus, which improves lung function. Bronchodilators - Inhaler or a nebulizer relax muscles around the bronchial tube.

TREATMENTS CONTINUED Therapy- People with Cystic Fibrosis need a way to physically remove thick mucus from their lungs. This is often done by manually clapping with cupped hands on the front and back of the chest. Surgery- A feeding tube, lung transplant, or bowel surgery are only for worst-case scenarios.

Genetics In Cystic Fibrosis, a defective gene alters a protein that regulates the normal movement of salt (sodium chloride) in and out of cells. The affected gene, which is inherited from a child's parents, is a recessive gene.  The gene is found on chromosome 7

“Sixty-five Roses” Since 1965, the term "65 Roses" has been used with children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. “Mary G. Weiss became a volunteer for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1965 after learning that her three little boys had CF. Her duty was to call every civic club, social and service organization seeking financial support for CF research. Mary's 4-year-old son, Richard, listened closely to his mother as she made each call. After several calls, Richard came into the room and told his Mom, "I know what you are working for." Mary was dumbstruck because Richard did not know what she was doing, nor did he know that he had cystic fibrosis. With some trepidation, Mary asked, "What am I working for, Richard?" He answered, "You are working for 65 Roses." Mary was speechless. He could not see the tears running down Mary's cheeks as she stammered, "Yes Richard, I'm working for 65 Roses.“”
