2024.05.01 Risk for Dehydration and Fluid and Electrolyte Disorders Among Cystic Fibrosis Carriers
American Journal of Kidney Diseases
It concerned an interpretation of the Michelson–Morley experiment and the properties of light and time. Special relativity incorporates the principle that the speed of light is the same for all inertial observers regardless of the state of motion of the source.

2024.01.17 Cystic Fibrosis Carrier States Are Associated with More Severe Cases of Bronchiectasis
Open Forum Infectious Diseases
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by loss-of-function mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a chloride and bicarbonate channel.1,2 CFTR is expressed in many different organ systems, including sweat glands.3,4 Although people with CF secrete normal primary sweat,3,5 they fail to reabsorb chloride (and sodium), resulting in sweat sodium and chloride concentrations 3-5 times higher than in people without CF.6 Accordingly, excessive sweating, without replenishment of fluids and electrolytes, can result in profound sodium and chloride depletion, secondary hyperaldosteronism, and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis.7

2022.09.30 The Rapid Reduction of Infection-Related Visits and Antibiotic Use Among People with Cystic Fibrosis After Starting Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor
Clin Infect Dis
People with cystic fibrosis (CF) routinely suffer from recurrent sinopulmonary infections. Such infections require frequent courses of antimicrobials and often involve multidrug-resistant organisms. The goal of this study was to identify real-world evidence for the effectiveness of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) in decreasing infection-related visits and antimicrobial use in people with CF.

Urology
To evaluate possible risk factors for complications following primary hypospadias repair relative to factors associated with timing of hypospadias repair in terms of case order, morning or afternoon scheduling, perioperative delays, and surgeon's daily work schedule as well as individual operative techniques.
