Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Uncovering Cystic Fibrosis Carrier: Insights From a Heterozygous CFTR‐F508del Rabbit Model

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 788-796, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disorder frequently associated with impaired mucociliary clearance and bacterial infection. Individuals carrying a single cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation exhibit partial CFTR dysfunction and are increasingly recognized as being at risk ...

Impact of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor on the small airways in cystic fibrosis. [PDF]

J Bras Pneumol
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) combination on the small airways in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder that primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to progressive lung disease. In CF, the small airways play a critical role, contributing to chronic symptoms such as cough,

Successful Rapid Desensitization to Ceftazidime/Avibactam in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis and Multidrug‐Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ‐AVI) is an important therapeutic option for multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections; however, hypersensitivity reactions may preclude its use and create significant therapeutic challenges. We report a 21‐year‐old woman with cystic fibrosis and recurrent MDR P.

Polymicrobial Extracellular Vesicles Reduce the Innate Immune Response of Human Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic antibiotic‐resistant cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections are the leading cause of death in adults with CF. Despite advances in highly effective modulator therapies, microbial communities persist in the CF lung. The pathogenesis of CF airway infections can be exacerbated by pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which communicates ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Utilization of Des‐Gamma‐Carboxy‐Prothrombin in Estimating Vitamin K Status in People With Cystic Fibrosis: A Single Center Retrospective Review

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background People with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk of fat‐soluble vitamin (A, D, E, and K) deficiencies secondary to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Estimation of vitamin K deficiency in routine clinical practice is challenging, and no uniform consensus exists due to lack of an accurate clinical test for the evaluation ...

Triple combination cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor modulator effects on glycaemia and insulin kinetics in cystic fibrosis with and without diabetes

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 8, Page 1356-1360, August 2026.
Abstract Background Greater insight into the effects of cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane modulators such as elexacaftor‐tezacaftor‐ivacaftor (ETI) on glucose metabolism can support a more dynamic and individualised approach to CF‐related dysglycaemia.

Investigating the Association Between Cystic Fibrosis and Colorectal Neoplasia: A Matched Case–Control Study

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that has been associated with increased risk of colorectal neoplasia and cancer (CRC). Current consensus statements recommend early screening and surveillance colonoscopies for CRC in CF, though high‐quality data supporting this remains lacking.
