CII written by resident in hospital that uses Hospital's DEA#
The other day I received an oxycodone 10mg script #360 pills. After putting it in our system, the system flags that the DEA # isn't matching to the prescriber. I checked PMP but couldn't find anything on the patient since the Rx was from another state. When I called the hospital, I found out that the DEA number is active but it belongs to the hospital and that the patient has pancreatic cancer. At that point, I didn't feel comfortable filling the prescription because 1) patient is new to us...

Annular Pancreas causing bilious or nonbilious vomit
On pg 339 of FA 2016 states that annular pancreas cause non bilious vomit
However, multiple sources says that it causes bilious vomit.

I just cannot ignore FA.

Metabolic acidosis 2 questions
Hi there folks!
After passing through the review books for answers (both BRS and Rapid Review) I have decided to take off the gloves and ask my comrades for help!
I have 2 questions regarding Metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap originating from Diarrhoea.
1. The colon & pancreas secrete actively HCO3- thus when we have diarrhoea we lose this HCO3-(Rapid review): My question is: WHO CARES? this HCO3- is already secreted from the blood, and it is no reabsorbed excessively in the...

Taking advantage of death of a family member
I don't want to seem like I'm taking advantage of my grandfather and uncles death, but since they already died, I don't want them to die in vain and have them dying for nothing. So I plan to take full advantage of it in essays and interviews.
So anyways, my uncle and my grandfather died of cancer about 1.5 years apart, my uncle died of pancreatic cancer around winter 2012 and my grandfather died of colon cancer around summer 2013, I was only close to my grandfather it did sadden me that I...

Trigger: amnio diagnosed cf positive
In 2010 my husband and I found out we were carriers. We were trying to get pregnant and were screened. Because we both screened positive as carriers we were sent to a fertility clinics to get info on ivf/pgd. We didn't know we were already pregnant. Our first son was born after a complicated pregnancy and premature delivery. He tested negative in new born screen for cf and was declared healthy. Fast forward July 2012 we found out we were pregnant again had an amnio at 15 weeks and our second son was also part of the sacred 25% that didn't carry either gene. Now here we are 2015 and pregnant with our third. We found out af...

Pancreatic Sufficient and Kalydeco
Hello,
Well by some miracle (namely our saintly CF doc) my older son got Kalydeco off label despite only having one known CFTR mutation. He starts tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone else like him (Pancreatic Sufficient) has taken Kalydeco? If so, have you found that eating certain foods with it make it more effective? My son does not have a problem keeping on weight (he is on the chubby side) but he does have intestinal issues when he has a high carb, low fiber diet. He has been doing well with a low Glycemic Index diet when he complies with it (when he doesn't he is on the toilet a lot). But I was wondering what k...

Pancreatic sufficient, but losing weight
Quick recap: My DS, 12 years old, was diagnosed with CRMS because of one mutation & one variant (DF508 & 5T/12TG) and borderline sweat tests (40/41). He has chronic constipation and wasn't gaining weight steadily on a growth curve so his Dr prescribed enzymes as a "trial" to see if they would help. He did begin to gain weight but I couldn't help but wonder if he was just catching up with a normal growth spurt or if the enzymes were actually doing something. The Dr that started him on enzymes left her practice and the new Dr agreed that we could do a little testing to see if he actually needed them or not...

How positive have the tests been?
My son is 7 weeks old. He had a sweat test two weeks ago and it came back at 81. since then, his other tests results have been as follows:
Throat culture - normal
pancreas - well above normal and dont need to give him the creon anymore
live level - normal
white blood cells - normal
chest x-ray - clear
all other blood levels - normal.
we are waiting for them to finish the genealogy on his blood to find the other mutation and go back on wed for another sweat test.
how likely is it that he doesn't have CF or is just borderline????? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Newly Diagnosed Forum)

New Site Coming Soon
Hi my friends!
As I was reading through the threads this morning (my initial activity for the last 20 years!) I came across CFinTX question and I thought this would be a good time to reply to his question about the Pyrtze email sent out so here goes:
Great Question CFinTX!
Back in 1996 when I bought the domain: CysticFibrosis.com and (my partner had CF), I imagined a center for everything CF.
That would include patients, caregivers, family members, partners, HCPs and Industry Leaders.
We started with pretty simple message boards. The threads were entitled Patients and Families.
In 2003, we got ...

Pancreatic Issues and Orkambi
So I am having stomach issues since I started taking Orkambi. It seems that when I increase my dosage of zenpep these issues subside on their own. Yesterday, I asked my doctor if I could up my dosage of zenpep, currently 13 per meal, by 1 or 2 pills and was told that I could not. His response was that I would go over the maximum amount of Lipase per day and would scar my colon. However, I have done some research on my own today and have found that the dosing info says 2,500 units of lipase per kg per meal OR 10,000 units of lipase per kg per day. If I use the daily calculation I still have another 11 pills I could actually...
