Improving the Rate of Sufficient Sweat Collected in Infants Referred for Sweat Testing in Michigan
Objective . Sweat collected for testing should have quantity not sufficient (QNS) rate of ≤10% in babies ≤3 months of age. Michigan (MI) cystic fibrosis (CF) centers’ QNS rates were 12% to 25% in 2009. This project was initiated to reduce sweat QNS rates

Mechanisms of endothelial cell dysfunction in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Although cystic fibrosis (CF) patients exhibit signs of endothelial perturbation, the functions of the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) in vascular endothelial cells (EC) are poorly defined.

Bacteria in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis are genetically capable of producing VOCs in breath. [PDF]
Breath contains hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the composition of which is altered in a wide variety of diseases. Bacteria are implicated in the formation of VOCs, but the biochemical mechanisms that lead to the formation of breath VOCs ...

Early diagnosis from newborn screening maximises survival in severe cystic fibrosis
Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been gradually established in several countries, but scant data are available on its long-term effects on survival. Our objective was to evaluate the long-term effects of CF NBS on survival.
