Abstract:
Thirty patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) were diagnosed of the otolaryngological outpatient clinic, a part of Department of Otorhinolaryngology Medical Academy in Warsaw, in 1996-1998. The control group was formed by thirty patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Computed tomography (CT) scans were estimated in all cases. Results showed, that inflammatory changes are more advanced in patients with cystic fibrosis than in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The high progression of inflammatory changes in patients with cystic fibrosis, observed in CT scans, caused: disturbed development of a frontal and maxillary sinuses, destruction of bony structures formed the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, medical bulging of the lateral nasal wall.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
