17 The 10 golden rules of CF care Maintain good nutrition Daily chest physiotherapy Pharmacological enhancement of mucociliary clearance Avoid pseudomonas infection Early diagnosis and prevention of non-apparent lung damage Early and aggressive antibiotic therapy of respiratory infection Anti-inflammatory therapy Identify and treat complications Centered care Regular and frequent routine evaluation

19 Causes of malnutrition in CF Pancreatic insufficiency Chronic lung disease Malabsorption fat, micronutrient energy Chronic cough Dyspnea Recurrent infections Vomiting Fatigue Anorexia Increased losses Increased needs Decreased intake Malnutrition

21 Physiotherapy Retained purulent secretions have etiologic role in airway disease Variety of techniques: Postural drainage and percussion (CPPT) Percussive vest Airway maneuvers (PEP) Flutter valves / airway occlusion devices (AOD) Aerobic exercise

22 Physiotherapy routinely used: 1-3 times daily Meta analysis 35 studies: PT better than no PT for clearance No long term evidence of therapeutic effect No evidence one technique superior to others

53 CFTR mutations vary in their frequency and distribution in different populations

54 Cystic fibrosis birth rate in Canada Decreasing trend since the onset of genetic testing 1/3608 in /2714 in Dupuiset et al., 2000

55 Number of new cases/year in the USA age of diagnosis < 1 year Provided by Bruce Marshall, NACFF

56 CF rate in North Italy - Veneto/Trentino Incidenza x A significant decrease, ~4/10,000 to ~1.5/10,000 Anno Unpublished results by Castellani.Assael 2009; Castellani, WS18

57 Factors that led to the decrease in CF incidence 1. Carrier testing (pre-conception, prenatal diagnosis) and the option of pregnancy termination 2. Newborn screening resulting in decision of parents: Not to have other children Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) Prenatal testing and pregnancy termination

58 CF birth rate in Brittany, France Brittany (1990 to 2005) Scotet et al., J of Pediatr 2008

59 CF birth rate among Ultra Orthodox Jews Culture - arranged marriage (prearranged marriage) Preventing program - obligatory pre-arranged genetic testing?? Bride Groom

60 CF birth rate among Ultra Orthodox Jews ,614 individuals were screened 8,400 carries were identified, (4.4%) 312 potential couples with 1 - in - 4 risk Consequence None of these potential couples married. No more CF births in this population since the initiation of the program Provided by Rabbi Ekstein, Dor Yeshorim

61 Cloning of the CFTR gene - new era in CF research Therapeutic approaches based on CFTR knowledge a. Gene therapy b. Activation of non-cftr chloride channels c. Mutation specific therapies

64 Identification of Ca 2+ - activated Cl - channels CaCC Cl - epithelial cell Cl - CFTR Ca 2+ -activated Cl - channels (CaCC) are present in the apical membrane of CF and non-cf epithelial cells. Activation of CaCC may compensate the deficit of Cl - transport in CF.
