cystic fibrosis: an inherited disease in which a thick mucus clogs the lungs and blocks the ducts of the pancreas
cystic fibrosis: A genetic condition characterized by thickened secretions in the lungs, bronchiectesis (see above) and repeated pulmonary infections Some patients have digestive problems, resulting in difficulty absorbing food
cystic fibrosis: A potentially lethal human disease of secretory cells, showing excess lung mucus secretion, and inherited as an autosomal recessive on chromosome 7 CF is caused by mutations in a gene encoding the cystic fibrosis membrane conductance regulator, a transmembrane protein involved in ion transport
cystic fibrosis: In the western world the most frequently determined genetic illness (autosomal recessive inherited) The gene for a chloride channel (CFTR) is affected, whose function is then limited and leads to mucilaginization, particularly in the respiratory tract Secondary infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently result from that Other organs are also affected (intestine, pancreas) The quality of life of patients is very restricted and the life expectation currently extends to the age of 30
cystic artery: a branch of the hepatic artery; supplies the gall bladder and the surface of the liver
cystic duct: The duct that conveys bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct
cystic fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis is a serious disease of the glands which usually affects children and can make breathing difficult. A hereditary disease of the exocrine glands, usually developing during early childhood and affecting mainly the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat glands. It is characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucus by the affected glands, usually resulting in chronic respiratory infections and impaired pancreatic function. Also called mucoviscidosis. a serious medical condition, especially in children, in which breathing and digesting food is very difficult (fibrosis 1800-1900 , from fibra; FIBER). or mucoviscidosis Inherited metabolic disorder characterized by production of thick, sticky mucus. It is recessive (see recessiveness) and the most common inherited disorder (about 1 per 2,000 live births) in those of European ancestry. Concentrated mucous secretions in the lungs plug the bronchi, making breathing difficult, promoting infections, and producing chronic cough, recurrent pneumonia, and progressive loss of lung function, the usual cause of death. The secretions interfere with digestive enzymes and block nutrient absorption. Abnormally salty sweat is the basis for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Treatment includes enzyme supplements, a diet high in calories, protein, and fat, vigorous physical therapy, and antibiotics. Persons with cystic fibrosis once seldom survived beyond childhood; now more than half reach adulthood, though males are usually sterile
