Download or read book Cystic Fibrosis in Primary Care written by Douglas Lewis, MD, FAAFP and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects the entire body. It tends to be thought of as primarily a pulmonary disease since pulmonary decline is the main factor in early mortality. Because of the multi-system nature of the disease, a better understanding of cystic fibrosis expands the family physician's understanding of subjects ranging from genetics to pulmonary function to nutrition to colon transport to hydration to electrolyte management. The primary care philosophy is unique in that it always considers how a narrow problem can affect an individual globally. Cystic Fibrosis care can often feel fractured to patients as they are sent to multiple specialists to deal with problems outside of the comfort level of a prior or current specialist. With a broad medical philosophy, care is more inclusive as clinicians can manage topics such as diabetes and preventive care without multiple referrals and additional appointments. Family physicians are well-positioned and well-qualified to competently meet many of the care needs of those with cystic fibrosis. This book is edited by a family medicine physician who has specialist level experience with the disease. It opens with a background on cystic fibrosis foundations and centers to familiarize the reader. The next chapter gives a basic overview of the disease. Each of the subsequent chapters provide a comprehensive look at how cystic fibrosis affects other areas of the body that the primary care physician should be familiar with. Major components of cystic fibrosis such as physiology, spirometry, inflammation, airway clearance, chronic infection, cystic fibrosis related diabetes and pancreatic insufficiency, among others, are thoroughly explained. Written by experts in the field, Cystic Fibrosis in Primary Care appeals to all family physicians as well as specialists, residents, medical students physician assistants and nurse practitioners alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of its direct influence on respiratory health, nutritional status, and general wellbeing, diet plays a significant role in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF). The role of nutrition in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) is highlighted here. - Nutritional status: People with cystic fibrosis often have problems digesting food because of pancreatic insufficiency. Poor weight gain, malnutrition, and vitamin shortages are all possible results of this. They need a high-calorie, well-balanced diet to keep up with their rapid growth and development. - Nutrition and lung function: CF patients who eat well have better lung function. The risk of respiratory infections can be reduced by eating healthily and keeping one's muscles strong, including those used for breathing. Better lung health and respiratory function are among the many benefits of a nutritious diet. - Digestive health: dietary therapies can help with CF-related digestive disorders such malabsorption and intestinal blockage. A high-fat, high-calorie diet is recommended to make up for poor absorption, and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is frequently administered to aid in digestion. Optimizing digestion, avoiding vitamin shortages, and boosting digestive health are all goals of nutritional interventions. - Maintaining a healthy weight might be difficult for many people with cystic fibrosis because of their increased metabolic rate. They can satisfy their energy needs and avoid losing weight or becoming malnourished if they eat a diet rich in calories from protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Those who are very malnourished or have trouble getting enough calories may benefit from nutritional support, such as oral supplements or tube feeding. - The risk of bone damage and osteoporosis is increased by CF-related variables such as chronic inflammation, decreased physical activity, and poor nutrition absorption. Bone health can be maintained and the likelihood of fractures reduced by eating a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and other bone-supporting elements and engaging in regular physical activity. - An individual's overall health and happiness might benefit from a carefully considered diet that is suited to their specific requirements. It has the potential to improve vitality, mental and emotional well-being, and disease control. The mucus in your respiratory system can be thinned out and dehydration avoided if you drink enough water. Individuals with CF should consult with a licensed dietitian or nutritionist who has experience with CF care to create a tailored dietary program. Adjusting the diet and improving CF care requires regular monitoring of nutritional status, growth, and lung function.
Download or read book Nutritional Management of Cystic Fibrosis written by Maria R Mascarenhas and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that starts in utero. It is caused by a defective protein called the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and while the effects are seen throughout the body, changes in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and liver primarily impact nutritional status. Survival and pulmonary function have been linked to nutritional status. Malnutrition and growth failure were historically the hallmark of disease. Patients with pancreatic insufficiency require pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and fat-soluble vitamin supplements. With improvements in many areas including newborn screening, nutrition supplements, pancreatic enzymes, CFTR modulator drugs, inhaled antibiotics and mucolytics, life expectancy has increased. In this issue, we will review the latest information in children and adults regarding important factors that play a role in optimizing nutrition status, including body composition, the gut microbiome, food security, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, growth and bone health, and micronutrient abnormalities. Pediatric and adult providers both need to be aware of the nuances of care as more patients with CF become adults. Optimizing nutritional status, anticipating and preventing the complications of CF will result in best management practice.

This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines health trajectories and health transitions at different stages of the life course, including childhood, adulthood and later life. It provides findings that assess the role of biological and social transitions on health status over time. The essays examine a wide range of health issues, including the consequences of military service on body mass index, childhood obesity and cardiovascular health, socio-economic inequalities in preventive health care use, depression and anxiety during the child rearing period, health trajectories and transitions in people with cystic fibrosis and oral health over the life course. The book addresses theoretical, empirical and methodological issues as well as examines different national contexts, which help to identify factors of vulnerability and potential resources that support resilience available for specific groups and/or populations. Health reflects the ability of individuals to adapt to their social environment. This book analyzes health as a dynamic experience. It examines how different aspects of individual health unfold over time as a result of aging but also in relation to changing socioeconomic conditions. It also offers readers potential insights into public policies that affect the health status of a population.
