Vitamin E status was compared in 69 children (7.0-10.0 years) with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III sample (6.0-11.9 years). With median vitamin E intakes of 6 mg/day (dietary) and 224 mg/day (supplemental), children with cystic fibrosis had higher serum alpha-tocopherol:cholesterol ratios, higher alpha-tocopherol, and lower cholesterol levels than in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Background: Whether improvements in gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms observed with Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) treatment are sustained in the longer-term requires exploration. This study investigated how GI-symptoms change with longer-term ETI use in pancreatic insufficient adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF).
Methods: Participants completed up to three abdominal symptom questionnaires, employing the validated CFAbd-Score.

The issue of a possible association between Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome and diabetes has been debated for many years. This review updates the Italian Shwachman-Diamond registry, confirming our previous findings that suggest that these patients might be at higher risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 1. These data are of relevance in the clinical follow-up of patients in everyday life, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Objective: Surgical resection remains the gold standard treatment for bronchiectasis in patients who present with hemoptysis or suppuration, as well as in those who do not respond to clinical treatment. We sought to investigate the efficacy of sublobar resection (segmentectomy) and compare it with that of lobar resection (lobectomy) in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Methods: Patients undergoing lobectomy or segmentectomy between 2019 and 2023 were included in the study.

The epidemiology of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in the United States is not well-described. To estimate national ABPA prevalence among patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis, characterize ABPA testing practices, and describe ABPA clinical features, treatment, and 6-month outcomes. We used the 2016-2022 Merative™ MarketScan® Commercial/Medicare and Multi-State Medicaid Databases to identify cohorts of patients with 1) asthma, 2) cystic fibrosis (CF), and 3) ABPA.
