On World Stroke Day, we discuss strategies to lessen the burden of stroke by increasing public knowledge of the risk factors, symptoms and complications of a stroke. It is also a chance to push for regional, national and international decision-makers to take the necessary steps to enhance stroke prevention, access to immediate, long-term post-stroke care, and support for survivors and caregivers. 

When your brain's blood supply is interrupted, it can lead to a stroke, which damages your brain cells either permanently or temporarily. After a stroke, the affected person may recover completely, but those who do not recover fully experience one or more disabilities while in the worst situation, a stroke can lead to death. Stroke is a leading cause of disability which can be prevented. We can lessen our risk of developing various illnesses that can cause a stroke by exercising frequently, eating healthily, staying hydrated, and getting regular medical checkups to manage established diseases. 

This day is dedicated to recognising and appreciating the contributions of all medical and non-medical professionals who have helped to lower the incidence of stroke and to advancing research in this field that will enhance the care of stroke victims globally.

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

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 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
