Diabetes is a common age-dependent complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) that strongly influenced by modifier genes. We conducted genome-wide association study in 3,059 individuals with CF (644 CF-related diabetes [CFRD]) and identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 5′ to the SLC26A9 gene associated CFRD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.38; P = 3.6 × 10−8). Replication was demonstrated 694 (124 CFRD) (HR, 1.47; 0.007), combined analysis significant at 9.8 10−10. an epithelial...
Objective The aim of this study was to examine and report 4 patients who developed symptomatology shortly after gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) administration. Materials Methods History taking targeted physical examination were performed on subjects reported development new disease features within hours weeks having received an intravenous administration GBCA. Results Two assessed at 2 months (patient P2mo) 3 P3mo) GBCA (early stage), 7 years P7yr) 8 P8yr) (late stage). Clinical...
Abstract Genetic studies of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) are hampered by the lack a severity measure that accounts for chronic progression and mortality attrition. Further, combining analyses across requires common phenotypes robust to study design patient ascertainment. Using data from North American Cystic Fibrosis Modifier Consortium (Canadian CF Studies, Johns Hopkins University Twin Sibling Study, Carolina/Case Western Reserve Gene Study), authors calculated age‐specific...
Variability in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is partially due to non-CFTR genetic modifiers. Mucin genes are very polymorphic, and mucins play a key role the pathogenesis of CF disease; therefore, mucin strong candidates as DNA from patients recruited for extremes phenotype was analyzed by Southern blot or PCR define variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) length polymorphisms MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC7. VNTR were tested association with severity linkage disequilibrium (LD) flanking single...
Abstract Background There is a lack of registry studies about transradial access (TRA) outcomes. This prospective evaluated the TRA and procedure outcomes visceral embolizations performed via with 30-day follow-up. Material & methods Prospective, multicenter included uterine fibroids (UFE), prostate artery (PAE), liver tumors (LT), other hypervascular (OHT) embolization in six US hospitals. Between February 2020 January 2022, 99 patients underwent one radial intervention (RAVI); 70 had...
To evaluate the utility of immediate post-procedure computed tomography (IPP-CT) and routine one-hour chest radiography (1HR-CXR) for detecting managing pneumothorax in patients undergoing (CT)-guided percutaneous lung biopsy.All CT-guided biopsies performed between May 2014 August 2021 at a single institution were included. Data from 275 procedures on 267 (147 men; mean age: 63.5 ± 14.1 years; range 18-91 years) who underwent 1HR-CXR reviewed. Incidences procedure-related complications...
