Vaccine Coverage Among People With Cystic Fibrosis: A National Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study in Israel Open
Background Vaccines are a cornerstone of modern medicine, however, in some regions, low coverage is reported in patients with chronic diseases, including people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), compared to the general population. Methods This …

Bone Mineral Density and Trabecular Bone Score in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults with Familial Dysautonomia Open
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is characterized by skeletal morbidity, including osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. We aimed to assess bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in individuals with FD, and to explore cor…

A Novel Medical Device for Airway Clearance Open
Background: Airway clearance techniques are a key element in the daily treatment of people with bronchiectasis. There are several methods and devices to assist in effective airway clearance. We investigated LibAirty, a novel medical device…

12 Medical cannabis for children with autistic spectrum disorder: is there a difference between those treated with cannabis as monotherapy vs those treated with cannabis and concomitant conventional medications? Open
Background Use of medical cannabis in pediatrics is increasing. A number of trials have investigated the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for the treatment of co-morbid symptoms in children with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). Man…

Clinical impact of exome sequencing in the setting of a general pediatric ward for hospitalized children with suspected genetic disorders Open
Background: Genetic conditions contribute a significant portion of disease etiologies in children admitted to general pediatric wards worldwide. While exome sequencing (ES) has improved clinical diagnosis and management over a variety of p…

Medical cannabis for the treatment of comorbid symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder: An interim analysis of biochemical safety Open
Background: Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder and no effective treatment for the core symptoms is currently available. The present study is part of a larger clinical trial assessing the effects of can…

The Value of Measuring Inspiratory Capacity in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Open
Measuring IC in CF subjects may reveal silent worsening of lung function as indicated by a decline in IC < 50% predicted while FEV1 is still > 40% predicted. This condition may lead to inefficient breathing at high lung volumes, which may …

Omalizumab in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with cystic fibrosis Open
No benefits were detected on treating ABPA in CF with omlaizumb. Monitoring the total IgE was not helpful. A prospective randomized double-blind study is needed.

Nationwide genetic analysis for molecularly unresolved cystic fibrosis patients in a multiethnic society: implications for preconception carrier screening Open
Background Preconception carrier screening for cystic fibrosis ( CF ) is usually performed using ethnically targeted panels of selected mutations. This has been recently challenged by the use of expanded, ethnically indifferent, pan‐popula…
View article: The Short-Term Effect of Breathing Tasks Via an Incentive Spirometer on Lung Function Compared With Autogenic Drainage in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis
The Short-Term Effect of Breathing Tasks Via an Incentive Spirometer on Lung Function Compared With Autogenic Drainage in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Open
These 2 techniques may allow lower thoracic pressures and assist in the prevention of central airway collapse. The resistive-breathing incentive spirometer is a self-administered simple method that may aid airway clearance and has the pote…

Nocardia Colonization: A Risk Factor for Lung Deterioration in Cystic Fibrosis Patients? Open
The prognosis of lung disease in CF patients colonized with Nocardia does not seem to differ based on the persistence of growth on cultures, different treatment plans or risk factors. Apparently, Nocardia does not cause a deterioration of …
