Answers from Peter C. Amadio, M.D. Probably not. When used alone, carpal tunnel exercises aren't likely to relieve symptoms, such as pain and numbness. And they don't replace other carpal tunnel treatments, such as surgery, behavior modification or wrist splints.
The cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a defect in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of the cells in your body.
Usually this is what happens: the thick mucus buildup in the lungs, caused by the defective CF genes, leads to a lot of lung infections over the course of a CF patient's life.his causes excess salt to be lost in sweat and also causes mucus to thicken up :) this causes thick mucus to clog up lungs and lead to suffocation. IT also causes malnourishment as the mucus prevents food from being absorbed.
