Today’s featured artist is Chelsea Newman with her submission titled “A Part Time Job”.
“A Part Time Job” is available in both Italian and English versions.
“PCD is a progressive disorder, meaning it will get worse over time, for which no cure currently exists. For most patients, it is thankfully very slowly progressive. There have been limited clinical trials of therapies conducted for PCD, and there are no ‘approved’ treatments at this time. However, because PCD shares some features with cystic fibrosis (CF), a more widely-known lung disorder for which there are many tested and proven therapies, much of the current PCD treatment protocol mirrors that of CF. While CF-type disease management may benefit those affected by PCD as the primary focus in both disorders is to prevent disease progression through aggressive treatment of infections, it is important to remember that these disorders are genetically distinct and there is no actually evidence to suggest that what works in CF is the best option for PCD. More PCD-specific research is desperately needed to determine best practices for PCD.” ~ American PCD Foundation
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD family member.
