Hufeland Klinik, Bad Ems.

In a multicenter group comparative study with 51 patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung diseases, efficacy and tolerance of physiotherapy with the VRP1 Desitin was investigated. In comparison with the control group (concomitant respiratory physiotherapy) a statistically significant increase in the lung function parameter VC, FEV1 and PEF was demonstrated in the VRP1 Desitin-group after 2 weeks of investigation. Auscultatory findings as well as the clinical symptoms cough, sputum and dyspnea were clearly improved. The patients observed an improvement in their condition and capability.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
