Topic Requests (updated)

I've got a bit of writer's block when it comes to my Understanding CF blog. In the last year I've written just over 100 articles about CF stuff. I'm wondering what else to add. I know there's plenty more topics I can address, but they're not springing to mind.

Here's how you can help me out. Go to <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://understandingcysticfibrosis.blogspot.com">Understanding Cystic Fibrosis</a> and type in a key word or topic in the search bar (top left) to see if I've already addressed your topic. If not, then let me know what you'd like to read about, and I'll put an article together.

Here are some that I'm in the process of writing this week:

1. Nasal Irrigation

2. Pancreatitis

3. Tips for Staying Healthy Around People who Don't Understand CF


Also, here's a link to what I wrote at Fred's request for cepacia info

This may or not pertain to your topic, but I had given a question in chat today, which was received in "awe", but no answer.

I had a concern that B. Cepacia can be found in Japan, or anywhere outside the states for that matter and was wondering if there was some way of giving the history to it, and maybe its origin, what it was used for, possible causes for CF patients to catch it, and perhaps precautionary steps for those who have not been affected by it to stay unaffected?

Hmmm, I couldn't find a key word for an article on air filters/purifiers and how to choose one, what not to get (and why)...are you still planning on doing that one? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Good suggestions folks! AnD, that one got eaten by my computer a few months ago. I'll have to redo it! Thanks for the reminder.

Fred, when you ask about B. Cepacia, do you mean as an infection control issue during hospitalizations, or B. Cepacia in general, which is found in soil and water. Good idea to give some history of it. I hadn't tackled that before because I was afraid my "science girl" persona would take over and I wouldn't be able to write something most people would understand.

In Japan, the prevailing source of B. cepacia is in crops Back in the 1940s, here in the US, there was an outbreak of cepacia in NY, which devastated onion crops and infected people as well. For some reason onions are a favorable growth medium for the bacteria. It can spread to susceptible humans when they come in contact with irrigation water. In nature there are more than 100 strains of cepacia that divide into different "flavors" almost all of which can be found in soil. Different types of soil can affect how readily cepacia grows and spreads.

From what I can tell, most humans who get infected with cepacia (in Japan) get it from contaminated groundwater. Since I'm only familiar with the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act here in the US, I can't comment on the risk of contracting cepacia in Japan.
