Encephalitis is a potentially fatal brain inflammation due to various factors that need to be treated right away to lower the risk of death or long-term effects. The key to controlling disease is early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The preventive advice includes using excellent hygiene and sanitary practices, getting the required immunizations for diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, and seeking medical attention as soon as you become ill to allow an early diagnosis and course of treatment.

The goal of World Encephalitis Day is to raise awareness of encephalitis on a global scale, prevent deaths, and create better futures. The objective is to remind people of the progress that has been made in battling encephalitis, to celebrate the achievements, and to inspire everyone to get involved in the expanding effort to completely eradicate the disease.

To realise our goal of a society where everyone is aware of encephalitis, its effects, and the support services available, we must change the fact that many people are uninformed of the disease. You are encouraged to participate in learning about the disease and assist us in enacting change and sparing lives.

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
