Cystic fibrosis - Cross-infection.
In the past, CF patients often participated in summer "CF Camps" and other recreational gatherings. However, concern for cross-infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA, Burkholderia cepacia, and other bacteria have largely ended these social events. These infections thrive in the thick mucus of CF patients' lungs and cause complications and possibly death. Therefore CF patients who do not have a certain bacteria type cannot meet with those who do. Because of thi ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Cystic fibrosis - Symptoms The first manifestation of CF is sometimes meconium ileus, occuring in 16% of infants who develop CF. [1]
Other symptoms of CF usually develop during early childhood. Both lungs and pancreas produce abnormally viscous mucus. This mucus begins to build up and starts to clog the opening to the pancreas and the lungs. The mucus in the lungs can become a growth medium for bacteria, resulting in chronic respiratory infections and eventual permanent damage to the lung tissue. A chronic and loose sounding cough is common in people with CF. T ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Cystic fibrosis - Treatment Daily chest physiotherapy and aerosol breathing treatments are very commonly prescribed for CF treatment. Typical physical therapy involves manual chest percussion (pounding), positive pressure techniques and/devices or possibly using a device such as the ThAIRapy Vest or the Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilator (IPV) to achieve the same effect: loosening of the thick mucus. Aerosolized medicines commonly given include albuterol, ipratropium bromide and Pulmozyme to loosen secretions and decrease inflammation. It was found that CFers who sur ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Cystic fibrosis - Biological causes Cystic fibrosis is exclusively heritable as both parents must carry the recessive genes for a child to acquire the disease. At the genetic level, cystic fibrosis is most often the result of an in-frame deletion of three base pairs in the DNA. Cystic fibrosis results from the production of an abnormal form of a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR functions in transporting chloride ions across epithelial cells found in the lung and intestinal tract. In CF patients, CFTR does not function properly, ca ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Cystic fibrosis - History and statistics Cystic fibrosis was first described as a disease in the late 1930s by Dorothy Hansine Andersen. It is the most common genetic disease among people with European ancestry. Approximately one in every 25 people of European descent is a carrier of one of the cystic fibrosis mutations, having one normal gene and one CF gene. Since cystic fibrosis is recessive, both copies of the gene have to be CF genes to cause the symptoms that occur in about 1 in every 2500 children. The high incidence of this lethal gene can be explained by the fact that CF c ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Heterozygote advantage - Heterozygote advantage and cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis, or CF, is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease of the lungs, sweat glands and digestive system. The disorder is caused by the malfunction of the CFTR protein, which controls inter-membrane transport of chloride ions, which is vital to maintaining equilibrium of water in the body. The malfunctioning protein causes viscous mucus to form in the lungs and intestinal tract. Before modern times, children born with CF would have a life expectancy of only a few years, but modern medicine has made it possible for these people to ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - L.J. Hooker - History The company was established in 1928 by Sir Leslie Joseph Hooker in Maroubra, NSW. Leslie Joseph Hooker was born Leslie Joseph Tingyou. Believing his Chinese name would be a diadvantage when conducting business in Australia, he changed his surname by deed to Hooker, after his favourite position in Rugby. In 1935 he opened the first city office of L.J. Hooker at 12 O’Connell Street, Sydney. In 1936 the business expanded into Kensington, New South Wales, Kingsford, New South Wales and Randwick, New South Wales. By 1938 the company was in the ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Alpha Kappa Lambda - History and Tradition The Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda (AKΛ) was founded on April 22, 1914 by a group of outstanding young men attending the University of California, Berkeley. Its birth, however, dates back to 1906 when a group of friends discussed the "need of Christian men for a place to live and study that was within their (financial) means."
After assisting in the cleanup of the Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, four students re-addressed their desire to organize a house club during a YMCA conference in Pacific Grove, California. It was decide ...

Alpha Kappa Lambda - These Hands Don't Hurt.
Alpha Kappa Lambda realizes that sexual assault is a serious problem on college campuses and believes that it can be fought through education, service, and philanthropic projects. The philanthropic fundraising aspect is the most visible of the three. The fundraising is performed via a “Promise Wall.” The Promise Wall is displayed prominently in a high traffic area of campus. Students, faculty, and members of the community are asked to add their “hand” to the Pr ...

| | | | Cystic Fibrosis: Encyclopedia II - Heterozygote advantage - An example of heterozygote advantage in flies This sort of selection can be seen in all kinds of populations: human and non-human. In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, there is an autosomal, completely recessive gene that expresses ebony body-color. When there is a fly with two copies of the recessive allele, this homozygote expresses the dark ebony color, but is also terribly weak, and is placed at a harsh reproductive disadvantage. If this were the only effect of the gene, and only conveyed disadvantages, we would expect selection to weed out this gene until it became ext ...
