Presentation transcript:

 The first known definition of Cystic Fibrosis was written in 1938 by Dr. Dorothy Anderson, a pathologist in the New York Babies Hospital.  In the 17 th century, there were several reports of babies clearly having Cystic Fibrosis.

 very salty-tasting skin  persistent coughing, at times with phlegm  frequent lung infections  wheezing or shortness of breath  poor growth/weight gain in spite of a good appetite  frequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty in bowel movements

 Mucus-Thinners: by thinning the mucus in the throat, coughing it out becomes easier.  Antibiotics: slow or kill bacterial growth (TOBI ® or “Tobramycin for Inhilation”)  Anti-Inflammatories: decrease tissue swelling and inflammation – inflammation causes lung damage.  Bronchodilators: medicine that opens airways to make breathing easier.

 There is no cure but certain treatments and medicine can enhance the quality of life for those with Cystic Fibrosis.  The severity and how early the disease is diagnosed determines the life expectancy. › 45% of US citizens with Cystic Fibrosis are over the age of 18. › The life expectancy, as of 2009, was for the patient to live until their mid 30s.

 Cystic Fibrosis is passed on through a defective gene and its protein.  This causes an abnormally gooey mucus that can clogs airways and lungs and lead to lung infections that can be life threatening.  This gooey mucus can also block the pancreas and prevent natural enzymes from helping the body digest and absorb food.

 People with Cystic Fibrosis inherit a detective gene on the 7 chromosome.  It affects the lungs, pancreas, and small intestine.  There are more than 1,000 different mutations in the CFTR gene that have been identified in Cystic Fibrosis Patients.  In the US, about 2,500 babies were born with Cystic Fibrosis.
