Trauma can be physically harmful as well as psychologically distressing. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, violence, conflict, and a variety of accidents, with road crashes being the most frequent cause, can all result in trauma. 

The goal of World Trauma Day is to lessen trauma-related incidents' negative impacts, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as injuries and deaths. This year, the emphasis is on raising awareness of trauma and instructing the public on how to deal with traumatic events. Oftentimes, traumatic injuries occur suddenly and require urgent medical attention. Some might even need life-saving interventions. After sustaining a traumatic injury, a lot of survivors experience disabilities. Others suffer devastating injuries that result in death. The patients have a better chance of recovery the sooner they receive medical care. Sadly, there are usually few options for quickly transporting patients to a hospital. Most hospitals also lack the necessary medical tools for providing emergency care. 

The ideal way to celebrate this day is to become familiar with the fundamental life-saving techniques for you and your neighbour. You never know when it will be useful.

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
