Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disease in the Caucasian population. Survival has improved dramatically with expected median survival in the UK now 41.4 years. In CF, a vicious cycle of mucus stasis, chronic inflammation and recurrent infection leads to respiratory failure and death in the majority of patients. CF is a multisystem disease with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency occurring in the majority of patients. Treatment involves airway clearance techniques, inhaled muco-active therapies and the prevention and control of respiratory infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common respiratory pathogen. In 2011, a mutation-specific therapy (VX-770) demonstrated efficacy for the first time. A number of other similar compounds are in the pipeline. With these treatments we are potentially entering a new era of CF care in which we may expect even longer survival. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Hurt K, Bilton D, 2012, Haemoptysis: diagnosis and treatment., Acute Med, Vol: 11, Pages: 39-45
Haemoptysis is a common symptom in clinical practice, which requires further investigation. Fortunately, massive haemoptysis only accounts for a small proportion of these episodes. It is a medical emergency that carries a high mortality rate. There are no agreed management guidelines. This review discusses proposed methods of resuscitation as well as outlining a diagnostic algorithm and discusses treatments including bronchial artery embolization, endobronchial therapy, surgery and medical therapies.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive inherited disease of Caucasian populations. As a result of a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies there has been a dramatic increase in the life expectancy of patients with CF in the last decades and 50% of patients are now adults. This review will focus on the disease in adults and the provision of appropriate care. The complex care required to improve the survival and quality of life in the adult patients can best be provided in a dedicated adult cystic fibrosis unit. These units currently exist in many European countries, but more are needed in Italy.

Adler AI, Shine B, Haworth C, et al., 2011, Hyperglycemia and Death in Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes, Diabetes Care, Vol: 34, Pages: 1577-1578, ISSN: 0149-5992
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is common in cystic fibrosis and increases the risk of death, yet the role of hyperglycemia remains unproven. An association between glycemia and mortality would provide compelling evidence to support glucose lowering in cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using the U.K. Cystic Fibrosis Registry, we analyzed longitudinal data from 2006 to 2009 in 520 individuals with diabetes. We tested the association between HbA1c and mortality.RESULTS During a median follow-up of 2 years, 36 patients died. The median value of HbA1c was higher in those who died (7.3%) than in those who did not (6.7%). An HbA1c value of ≥6.5% was associated with a threefold increased risk of death (hazard ratio 3.2 [95% CI 1.4–7.3]; P = 0.005) independent of potential confounders.CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia trebles the risk of death in patients with CFRD. These findings provide epidemiologic support for continued efforts to improve glycemic control.Diabetes frequently complicates cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) has an incidence in teenagers of up to 6% per year and a prevalence in adults of >30% (1,2). Diabetes further elevates the already high mortality rates in cystic fibrosis (3–5). In individuals without cystic fibrosis, diabetes increases the risk of death, and in individuals with diabetes, hyperglycemia increases the risk of death (6,7). However, no study of CFRD using national data has investigated whether hyperglycemia, per se, increases the risk of death; likewise, no trial has tested whether controlling blood glucose prolongs survival. Proving an association between glycemia and mortality in cystic fibrosis would provide compelling observational evidence to inform clinical practice. Using the U.K. Cystic Fibrosis Registry, we performed longitudinal analyses to test the association between glycemia, as measured by HbA1c, and mortality in individuals with CFRD.
