Cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis
Across
- 4. due to obstruction of airways with viscid mucopurulent material and associated with areas of collapse
- 5. have a high concentration of CFTR
- 7. one of the basic mechanisms of pathophysiology behind bronchiectasis, e.g. a condition with decreased ciliary beat frequency
- 12. the defective protein produced by the gene in CF
- 14. symptoms include bowel obstruction with dehydration
- 16. frequent oily offensive stools
- 17. diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis
- 18. leads to pulmonary hypertension
- 19. effective, an essential part of ACT,
Down
- 1. CF requires high kilojoule, high fat diet
- 2. coughing up of blood, advanced disease clinical presentation
- 3. inherited as an autosomal recessive trait
- 6. characterised by irreversible dilation of the bronchial tree, affects different lobes with different conditions
- 7. one of the basic mechanisms of pathophysiology behind bronchiectasis, e.g. mycobacterium tuberculosis, repeated chest infections secondary to GOR
- 8. excessive, causing water to be drawn into cell
- 9. one of the basic mechanisms of pathophysiology behind bronchiectasis, e.g. tumour, foreign body
- 10. apical membrane surfaces have a high concentration of CFTR
- 11. symptoms include impaired mucociliary clearance
- 13. pre-natal screening using chorionic villus sample
- 15. gastro-oesphageal reflux
