00001). Patients needing intravenous therapy decreased from 23 to 5 of 26. The mean (SD) sweat chloride level decreased from a baseline of 79 (22.3) mmol/L to 65 (30.6) mmol/L, but this variation was not significant (p=0.26). No safety concerns were registered.

In patients with CFTR mutations that confer RF with severe lung disease, treatment with Ivacaftor is safe and results in a clinically significant improvement that was evident at 1 month and maintained at 12 months.

Beneficial effects of pulmonary rehabilitation at high-altitude (HAPR) in patients with severe refractory asthma have been reported earlier, but evidence for the effectiveness is limited.

To investigate the effectiveness of high-altitude pulmonary rehabilitation to comparable treatment at sea-level (LAPR) on patient outcome parameters.

Adults with severe refractory asthma living in The Netherlands were included. Treatment consisted of a 12-week personalized multidisciplinary rehabilitation program either at high-altitude (Davos Switzerland) (n=93) or in a tertiary lung center at sea-level in The Netherlands (n=45). At baseline, after treatment, and during 12 months follow-up asthma related quality of life (AQLQ), asthma control (ACQ), pulmonary function and OCS-dose were assessed. Patients could not be randomized resulting in different asthma populations. Groups were compared using linear regression analysis (ANCOVA) adjusted for baseline values, in addition to age, atopy, smoking history, BMI and gendesymptoms and lower maintenance OCS-dose persists. Underlying factors that explain this observed effect need to be investigated.

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experience of people who stutter as they navigate through the growth process from concealment to openness.

Twelve adults who stutter who are active in self-help/support groups for stuttering described their experiences of concealment and openness in a semi-structured interview. Purposeful selection was utilized to recruit participants who could comment thoughtfully on previous concealing, but became more open about their stuttering. A phenomenological approach was utilized to gain a deeper understanding of how people who stutter experience the transition from concealment to openness regarding their stuttering and identity. Thematic analysis contributed to identification of themes and subthemes describing participants' experiences.

Participants described precursors to concealment that led to hiding and avoidance, which grew in strength until they reached a turning point. They then changed how they related to their stuttering by changing their behaviors and perceptions of stuttering, which led to increased openness about their identity. This process of continued adaptation to stuttering was ongoing and non-linear, but suggested general trends from concealment to more openness over time. Level of openness was impacted by situational context and individual differences.

The findings extend our understanding of how people who stutter navigate transitions from concealment to openness. This deeper understanding could be helpful in explaining the complexities involved in managing the identity of a person who stutters, and the process of adapting to living with stuttering over time.

Stress perfusion imaging plays a major role in non-invasive detection of coronary artery disease. We compared a compressed sensing-based and a conventional gradient echo perfusion sequence with regard to image quality and diagnostic performance.

Patients sent for coronary angiography due to pathologic stress perfusion CMR were recruited. All patients underwent two adenosine stress CMR using conventional TurboFLASH and prototype SPARSE sequence as well as quantitative coronary angiography with fractional flow reserve (FFR) within 6 weeks. selleck Coronary angiography was considered gold standard with FFR < 0.75 or visual stenosis >90 % for identification of myocardial ischemia. Diagnostic performance of perfusion imaging was assessed in basal, mid-ventricular and apical slices by quantification of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) analysis utilizing the signal upslope method and a deconvolution technique using the fermi function model.

23 patients with mean age of 69.6 ± 8.9 years were enrolled. 46 % werereliable detection of myocardial ischemia.This is a case of a premature infant with stridor, supplemental oxygen requirement, and dysphagia refractory to anti-reflux and anti-inflammatory medications. Endoscopy revealed postcricoid fullness with MRI showing submucosal lobulations. Microscopic resection of an obstructive postcricoid mass resulted in immediate resolution of stridor and oxygen requirement with mild improvement in dysphagia. Pathology demonstrated submucosal fibrosis, edema, and vascularity with no evidence of malignancy, fibromatosis, or cystic/polypoid components. Review of the literature shows that lesions in postcricoid region include amyloidosis, lymphatic malformation, and normal-variant hypertrophy. Surgery should be considered for atypical postcricoid lesions with symptoms refractory to medical management.Religions' food practices can illustrate a lot about religions, and can raise new research questions. I will give examples of ways in which religious food practices are reflections of broader religious ideals. Foods contain essences and are religiously symbolic; foods are a window into how people understand the necessity to obey God; food practices relate to health outcomes; and food practices reflect and inculcate social structures and worldviews. The article will go on to consider some broader questions raised including the origins and cultural evolution of food rules, and how food practices relate to group differences and individual differences.
