Advances in the treatment of cystic fibrosis: CFTR modulators
Cystic fibrosis is a severe genetic disease caused by variants in the CFTR gene. Although it is a multisystem disease, respiratory involvement is the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator (CFTRm) therapies have advanced the treatment of this disease by improving function of this protein ...

Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27

Clinical Use of Home Spirometry in Children With Cystic Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Background The use of home spirometry (HSPIR) has increased in pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) care, but how it has been used clinically and its impact on clinical care have not been described. The purpose of this study was to address this knowledge gap through a secondary analysis of data from a HSPIR quality improvement project to ...

ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...

Pregnancies in women with rare diseases: Selected maternal and perinatal outcomes
Pregnancies in women with rare diseases carry substantial disease‐related (23.2%) and pregnancy‐specific (25.1%) risks. Complication rates drop markedly when conditions are stable before conception. Abstract Introduction Rare diseases (RD) are characterized by chronicity and may be associated with reduced life expectancy and quality of life.
