2010-12-0235 mineCysticFibrosis ReviewFeatured Cases: State-of-the-Art Treatment for CF Lung DiseaseVolume 2, Issue 10.Clinical practice guidelines have become a regular component of health care. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has supported the development of several recent clinical practice guidelines to review the evidence that endorses many of the therapies currently in use.Although numerous clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) exist, the principal causes of disease-related morbidity and mortality are due to pancreatic insufficiency and chronic airway infection. Recommendations are now available on the assessment and treatment of nutritional disease, use of airway clearance therapies, and use of chronic medications to maintain lung health.

2010-09-1441 mineCysticFibrosis ReviewFeatured Cases: Vitamin D and Bone HealthVolume 2, Issue 8.In 2002, the CF Foundation convened a consensus conference.

And at this time we are actually trying to test these guidelines to see if they hold true in those with cystic fibrosis. Since patients with cystic fibrosis are living longer, they are developing more complications, such as bone disease, and insuring...
