A case is reported of a black youth whose marked diabetic lability was stabilized subsequent to establishing the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and treatment of the pancreatic exocrine deficiency. The patient had no evidence of pulmonary involvement secondary to cystic fibrosis, but had a partial immunoglobulin A deficiency. A possible common etiology for diabetes mellitus and cystic fibrosis is discussed.

Background: Males with cystic fibrosis (MwCF) face general and disease-specific sexual and reproductive health (SRH) concerns. Using concept mapping (CM), this study identified the SRH topics valued by members of the CF community.
Methods: MwCF 18 years and older, parents and partners of MwCF, and healthcare providers participated in an online CM study.

Purpose: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. Otolaryngological manifestations pose a significant impact on the quality of life of children with CF. The primary aim of this review is to provide a state of the art update of current literature on the otolaryngological manifestations of CF in children.

Pancreatic insufficiency is a major complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), which traditionally has been managed with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in the vast majority of CF patients, even in the era of highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator (CFTRm) therapy. We report on a 1.7 year old male infant with CF who was exposed to ETI both in utero and postpartum, via breast milk and oral granules.

Repeated use of nitroglycerin results in a loss of its vasodilatory efficacy which limits its clinical use for the treatment of angina pectoris. This tolerance phenomenon is a defining characteristic of all compounds classified as nitrodilators, which includes NTG as well as S-nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes. These compounds vasodilate via activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, although they do not release requisite amounts of free nitric oxide (NO) and some do not even cross the plasma membrane.
