Inhalation of sugar helps the patients to improve lung function in cystic fibrosis, say Australian researchers. Cystic fibrosis - an inherited chronic disease that contributes to the sticky mucus in the lungs, to life-threatening lung infections and digestive problems what. Scientists believe that the positive effects of the inhalation of sugar by the fact that the liquid enters the lungs and liquefies sticky mucus can be explained in the airways. In this condition the patient is easier to remove the lungs of mucus. Experts examined the effects and safety of inhalation of 39 patients with a mild form of cystic fibrosis. Within two weeks of the patients received inhaled sugar and other inhaled placebo. The results showed that participants breathe that uses the sugar inhalation can, much better than the control group. Such therapy has improved the quality of life, especially in terms of respiratory health. No serious side effects were observed, the scientist says.
