Researchers Find Immunity Protein That Ramps Up Inflammation, and Agents That Can Blo
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0331165601.htm "The research team, led by Bill B. Chen, Ph.D., associate professor, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine, conducted experiments in which mice that lacked the ability to make Fbxo3 were infected with a strain of Pseudomonas bacteria, and found that they had better lung mechanics and longer survival than mice that still made the protein."

Vest model 104(105,205) Hill-Rom - need help with configuration for 4years old CFboy
Hello, please can someone help us with configuration and adjusting Vest model 104 (105,205) Hill ROM for 4 years old boy with CF? My friends in Central Europe bought 104 model ...and doctors have no experiences with the vest system in our country. How setup (what values): oscillation frequency (5-20Hz), force (1-10) and duration of treatment (in minutes) for 4year old boy. How many times a day is the treatment ok for him? Should they buy for him Chest Vest or Full Vest? Thank you for any tips! (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Airway Clearance Techniques Forum)

Nothing coming up!
Is there anyone out there like this or is it just me! I'm not very productive at all! I bring tiny amounts up a day even after physio etc and I'm not sure weather this is good or bad and my lung functions around 55-58% so somethings wrong somewhere. My doctor always asks if I bring a tablespoon or teaspoon up but It's more like the size of a thumbnail I bring up a day! (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Airway Clearance Techniques Forum)

CPT Advice... Use a Regular Massager?
I have no insurance and am super duper "broke" thanks to tons of medical bills, so was thinking about using a regular percussive hand massager (meant for shoulders and neck) on my ribs and lung area to encourage cough when no one is available to help with CPT, and/or I'm doing my neb, and/or need to clear my airways. Thoughts? Has anyone ever used a non-medical type of tool just because it's better than nothing? xoxo : ) (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Airway Clearance Techniques Forum)

Is there a need for a nebulization guidance computer program?
When I was a child, I never used to focus much on doing my inhalations properly. I did them twice a day like I was told but the effect was probably small to nonexistent due to poor technique. I did know the correct technique but it was easier and more fun to do something else while inhaling and ignoring the effectiveness. Luckily, I did a lot of sports so it never really mattered but now when I am grown up I find it incredibly boring to do the inhalations effectively. It is possible to do the inhalations very effectively if there are no outer distractions but if I e.g. read my mail while inhaling this usually leads to very...

The best airway clearance for me..
is LAUGHTER! Honestly besides the acapella, laughter is the only other thing that gives me great clearance! I don't mean to sound crazy or dumb. I could sit and do the vest til the cows came home but it just doesn't do anything except make my cheeks shake. Plus laughter is good for the soul (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Airway Clearance Techniques Forum)
