Alzheimer’s disease is a lifelong condition that deteriorates one's memory, mental abilities, and capacity for simple tasks. It is a prevalent type of dementia that causes memory loss and the loss of other crucial cognitive abilities severe enough to affect a person's everyday life.

This year's theme is centred on post-diagnosis support for dementia. After being diagnosed with dementia, many things come to mind. The unmet support needs that resulted from this diagnosis demonstrate the importance of providing all-encompassing care for the physical, mental, and social wellness of those who are living with dementia. Only so much can be done by the medical staff. It is up to us to reassure them that they are not alone and to encourage them to find meaning in life despite their condition.

This day aims to combat the widespread stigma associated with dementia related to Alzheimer's and to promote people's awareness of persons in their communities who are suffering from the disease or other forms of dementia. Despite the fact that there are still certain unclear regions in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, any action is better than none.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
