Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial investigating the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.
Haworth CS, Jones AM, Adams JE, Selby PL, Webb AK. Haworth CS, et al. Among authors: webb ak. J Cyst Fibros. 2004 Dec;3(4):233-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jcf.2004.08.002. J Cyst Fibros. 2004. PMID: 15698940 Free article. Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Calcium and vitamin D supplementation reduced the rate of bone turnover and bone loss in adult patients with cystic fibrosis, but these changes did not reach statistical significance. These data suggest that a longer term trial of this simple intervention woul …

Treatment of urinary incontinence in cystic fibrosis.
McVean RJ, Orr A, Webb AK, Bradbury A, Kay L, Philips E, Dodd ME. McVean RJ, et al. Among authors: webb ak. J Cyst Fibros. 2003 Dec;2(4):171-6. doi: 10.1016/S1569-1993(03)00088-2. J Cyst Fibros. 2003. PMID: 15463869 Free article.
CONCLUSIONS: PFME are effective at improving endurance and reducing leakage over the short-term. Women are reluctant to be assessed and the CF team should provide support and encouragement with treatment. Long-term outcome and the mechanisms of UI in this group of p …
