Our interest in rectal prolapsed was aroused in the course of a study of patients with Cystic Fibrosis. Patients have been aware of this complication for sometime know. However they think they had no appreciation of the frequency of this complication. The information in this journal is helpful to patients with Cystic Fibrosis.

    Care Plan Template NSG 1705: Student Resuscitation Status Full Code

    This patient has cystic fibrosis. cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system it is usually caused by a defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. The mutated gene is the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This gene is required to regulate the components of sweat, digestive juices, and mucus. Although most people without CF have two working copies of the CFTR gene, only one is needed to prevent cystic fibrosis. CF develops when neither gene works normally and therefore has autosomal recessive…

    Cystic Fibrosis Research Paper

    Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal (not sex linked), hereditary disease caused by a mutation in the gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, or the CFTR gene. This CFTR gene belongs to a group of genes called ABC (ATP-binding cassette). These are transport molecules for molecules such as phosphate, glucose, chloride, and peptides. Specifically for the CFTR gene, the molecules transported are chloride and sodium. The CFTR protein, which is created by the CFTR gene, has a molecular weight of 168,173 daltons and in length, is 1480 amino acids long. This variation in genes is located in chromosome 7 of humans. Because most people have two of the CFTR gene which creates the CFTR proteins, a person can be completely healthy with a mutation in the gene, as long as at least one of these genes are unchanged from the normal state. Without the cystic fibrosis variation of the CFTR gene, the CFTR proteins created by the gene act as a channel protein which can be found in the membranes of cells which line the passageways of organs such as the pancreas, lungs, and intestines. The CFTR protein can be modified in numerous ways to give the host cystic fibrosis; in fact, over 1000 transformations of the CFTR gene have been recognized. One of the most common of these mutations is a deletion of a single amino acid from the long chain of 1480 in the CFTR protein. This causes a breakdown of the channel made with the missing amino acid, which means that it never transports chloride ions, like it was made to do, because it never reaches the cell membrane. This mutation is delta F508, because the deletion occurs at position 508 on the CFTR protein. These sorts of mutations work to deteriorate and destroy the efficiency of the CFTR protein by changing or replacing parts of the protein’s amino acid order. This order chooses the way that the protein is folded, and if this order is…

    Cystic Fibrosis and the Resulting Damage to the Lungs and Digestive System

    Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening condition that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. Developing this condition can change a person's entire life. Depending on the severity of the condition a person can be affected by mild symptoms such as shortness of breath, all the way to severe symptoms such as rectal prolapse, or even death. Screening is done on infants in all 50 states; therefore if a child has inherited Cystic Fibrosis it will be known in the first months of life. As professional staff members of a nursing community it will be necessary to help prepare the child and the family for the life of Cystic Fibrosis.…

    Cystic Fibrosis

    Cystic fibrosis (CF) also known as mucoviscidosis is an inherited disease that causes the body to produce mucus that's extremely thick and sticky. The mucus in people with CF is thicker than normal because CF affects cells in the epithelium, the layer of cells that lines the passages in the body's organs. In a person who does not have CF, the epithelial cells produce a thin, watery mucus that acts like a lubricant and helps protect the body's tissues. In a person with CF, however, the thicker mucus doesn't move as easily. This thick, sticky mucus clogs passages in many of the body's organs and infection sets in.…

    The prognosis of Cystic Fibrosis is best during childhood. As children with CF reach adulthood the disease worsens and more complications arise (“Cystic Fibrosis” 2012). The most common cause of death in Cystic Fibrosis patients is due to lung function complications (Falvo 486). Currently there is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis and the average life expectancy is mid to late thirties (“Cystic Fibrosis” 2011). There have been many advances in medicine and treatment methods and because of this many people live well into their adult life (Falvo 486). There…

    Cystic Fibrosis Research Paper

    Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening disorder. Symptoms can begin during infancy and vary from child to child. The symptoms of each case are different because a person that has CF can do better or worse each day. One of the first signs of CF is excessive amounts of salt in sweat. The rest of the symptoms generally involve the respiratory system. A persistent cough and wheezing is caused by a clogged air tube in the respiratory system. In the digestive system, poor weight gain and greasy stools can be a sign of CF. If a child ever has any of these symptoms, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible.…

    MRSA was first identified in the 1960's and was mainly found in hospitals and nursing homes. This occurred because antibiotics were being given to people when they were not needed, and patients were not taking antibiotics as directed. This type of MRSA is referred to as HA-MRSA (Healthcare-Associated MRSA). In the late 1990's, a new type of MRSA was identified. This new type is referred to as CA-MRSA (Community-Associated MRSA). This new type of MRSA is becoming more common among children and adults who do not have medical problems.…
