	eMedicine - Cystic Fibrosis, Thoracic : Article by Eleni Giannouli
		CF is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across the epithelium in all exocrine tissues, leading to thick viscous secretions in the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestine, and reproductive tract and to an increased salt content in sweat gland secretions.
		CF is caused by mutations in a single large 250,000–base pair gene on chromosome 7 that encodes the CFTR protein.
		The diagnosis of CF is occasionally suggested by the histologic appearance of an appendix removed from a patient with acute or recurrent/chronic abdominal pain, which is characterized by an increased number of goblet cells distended with mucus and eosinophilic cast of the crypts extruding into the lumen.

	CompactFlash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CF was among the first flash memory standards to compete with the earlier and larger PC Card Type I memory cards, and was originally built around Intel's NOR-based flash memory, though it switched over to NAND.
		CF is among the oldest and most successful formats, and has held on to a niche in the professional camera market especially well.
		CF devices are used in handheld and laptop computers (which may or may not take larger form-factor cards), digital cameras, and a wide variety of other devices, including desktop computers.

	Cystic Fibrosis - pulmonologychannel
		CF causes the body to produce abnormally thick and sticky mucus in several different parts of the body, most prominently in the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system.
		CF is a genetic disease resulting from the inheritance of a defective autosomal recessive gene (see Genetics of Cystic Fibrosis).
		Variations in the severity of CF symptoms probably result from variation in the particular mutation that causes the protein abnormality and (as of yet unknown) environmental factors that may influence how the genetic defect is manifested.

	Cystic Fibrosis
		Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that particularly affects the lungs and digestive system and makes kids who have it more vulnerable to repeated lung infections.
		Because CF produces thick mucus within the respiratory tract, a child with CF may suffer from nasal congestion, sinus problems, wheezing, and asthma-like symptoms.
		Treating Kids With CF When kids are first diagnosed with CF, they may or may not have to spend some time in the hospital, depending on their condition.

	[No title]
		In patients who are compound heterozygotes for CF, the "milder" mutation acts in a dominant fashion; this is analogous to the normal health status of carriers of the CF gene.
		CF has been considered a good candidate for gene therapy because most of the morbidity and mortality are due to CF lung disease, and airways cells are readily accessible to gene delivery by aerosol therapy or via bronchoscopy.
		Current human gene therapy trials for CF use a variety of vectors attached to the CF gene to allow the gene to be carried across the cell membrane and into the nucleus.

	Cystic Fibrosis
		Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that causes the body to produce mucus that's extremely thick and sticky.
		This means that the parents of kids with CF are usually both CF carriers — that is, they have one normal and one defective gene — but the parents may not have CF themselves because their normal gene is able to "take over" and make the necessary CFTR protein.
		Adults with CF may also develop other illnesses, such as diabetes (a disease in which a person's blood sugar is too high) or osteoporosis (a weakening of the bones).

	Altus Pharmaceuticals
		CF is a genetic (inherited) disorder in which mucus secretions become abnormally thick.
		CF can have serious effects on the digestive system, primarily due to the clogging of ducts within the pancreas by thick, sticky mucus which then blocks the release of pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum.
		A major consequence of CF and chronic pancreatitis is pancreatic insufficiency, where the ability of the pancreas to generate and secrete these enzymes to the intestine for digestion is decreased or eliminated entirely.

	The Facts about Cystic Fibrosis
		CF does not follow the same pattern in all patients, but the basic problem is the same — an abnormality in the glands that produce or secrete sweat and mucus.
		If there is another child with CF in the family, the expectant mother may ask for a prenatal test to see if the fetus has CF genes from both parents, is a carrier for one gene, or is free of the CF genes.
		CF education helps patients and their families face the physical and emotional effects of the disease and encourages CF patients to lead active, fulfilling lives.

	CF Gene Mutation: The Test
		CF gene mutation testing can be done to screen the general population or to screen a targeted (higher risk) subset of the population for carrier status.
		CF gene mutation testing can also be used for prenatal diagnosis if both parents are known to be carriers and if their gene mutations have been previously identified.
		CF gene mutation testing may also be ordered to confirm a CF diagnosis following a positive sweat chloride or IRT test.

	Cystic Fibrosis
		Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that particularly affects the lungs and digestive system and makes a child more vulnerable to repeated lung infections.
		In CF, the inherited CF gene directs the body's epithelial cells to produce a defective form of a protein called CFTR (or Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) found in cells that line the lungs, digestive tract, sweat glands, and genitourinary system.
		CF carriers do not show CF symptoms themselves, but can pass the problem CF gene to their children.
