Hypertension is a silent killer. High blood pressure, often known as hypertension, is a medical condition that typically has no symptoms. Older age, being overweight or obese, not exercising regularly, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, and eating too much salt are all risk factors for hypertension.

Millions of people die from heart and blood vessel diseases, with hypertension being the leading risk factor. To educate the general people about the serious medical repercussions of uncontrolled hypertension on the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels, as well as the significance of routine blood pressure checks, we raise awareness of this disease today. It can result in cardiac attacks, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness if left untreated.

We advise the general people to frequently check their blood pressure, eat natural, healthy meals, exercise regularly, stop smoking, and consume less alcohol. Numerous programs are also available to aid in stopping certain bad habits. Government, volunteer organisations, and health care professionals must all work together to accomplish this. The focus is on increasing awareness globally, particularly in low-middle-income communities, and encouraging people to check their blood pressure.

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
