Matrix metalloproteinase activation by free neutrophil elastase contributes to bronchiectasis progression in early cystic fibrosis

The aim of this study was to assess if MMP activation positively correlates with neutrophil elastase activity, disease severity and bronchiectasis in young...

House dust mite induced lung inflammation does not alter circulating vitamin D levels

We hypothesized that allergic inflammation decreases the level of circulating 25(OH)D and tested this using a mice model of house dust mite (HDM) induced...

Early respiratory infection is associated with reduced spirometry in children with cystic fibrosis

We hypothesized that the presence of these markers of cystic fibrosis lung disease in the first 2 years of life would be associated with reduced lung...

Early cystic fibrosis lung disease

This paper is about lung disease in patients with cyctic Fibrosis and prevention strategies to slow the onset of lung disease.

Parental experiences of early pulmonary surveillance for children with cystic fibrosis: A research proposal for improved family psychosocial outcomes

The proposed study intends to explore parental experiences, including coping, related to their child's involvement in the early surveillance program.

Protocol For Study Of Information Needs Of Parents Of Infants Newly Diagnosed With Cystic Fibrosis
