Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction brought on by the body's immune system reacting to infection. Although the chances of recovery and survival are better with early diagnosis, there is no guarantee for a favourable outcome. Antibiotic-resistant microbes in particular can make treatment difficult. So, our goal is to prevent infections. World Sepsis Day is an annual event for everyone to help save lives by raising awareness of one of the leading causes of deaths.

As a result, raising awareness mostly involves educating the public on ways to prevent infections, particularly in vulnerable groups (those with underlying chronic illnesses). This includes, among other things, proper personal hygiene, particularly hand hygiene, lifestyle changes (healthy eating and exercise), immunizations, and prompt hospital visits when ill for early diagnosis and treatment.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

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

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
