Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by several microbes. As pneumonia can cause death if left untreated, this day serves as a chance to emphasise the need for prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. It is desired to have no more pneumonia-related deaths in future.

This illness can manifest in a variety of ways, from fever to respiratory problems. It is possible to both prevent and treat pneumonia. The mortality toll from pneumonia is increasing despite the availability of therapy, and the COVID outbreak has made matters worse. Use of nose masks, keeping a safe distance from other people, maintaining good personal cleanliness, washing your hands regularly, and receiving the required vaccinations are all protective measures. To lessen microbial transmission through aerosol, people with coughs are recommended to cough into their elbow.

We increase public awareness of this respiratory infection and its preventive measures to lower the risk of respiratory infection and mortality. Additionally, we urge public and private organisations to disseminate these preventive measures at the community level, especially to those at high risk, and to offer resources for immunizations and treatment to those who have already been affected.

Female Medical Doctors and Fashion

Female Medical Doctors And Fashion A Standard Dress Code Is Relative Photo credit: istock Each professional’s clothing style has a significant impact on their presentation, reliability, and look.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you ar...

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
