The day is observed by medical professionals, public health advocates, exercise specialists, and rehabilitation specialists as back pain incidence and related disability are on the rise globally. This year's theme emphasises spine pain and impairment as a component of the global disease burden, acknowledges the need for access to high-quality, indispensable spinal health services globally, and preventive actions. In under-served neighbourhoods, there is a lack of access to high-quality spine care and rehabilitation, which can lead to irreversible deformity and the inability to work and support one's self and family. 

While efforts are made to increase the afflicted population's access to spine care, we should focus on preventing spine-related disorders and enhancing spine health by putting in place some measures, such as: 

-Avoid sedentary lifestyle which can result in decreased fitness. 

-Maintain good sitting and standing postures, particularly for people who spend a lot of time at a desk. Ergonomic modifications to the working environment to accommodate the employee.

-Sleep on a mattress firm enough to support your weight.

-Keep your weight under control, eat healthy foods, and lead an active lifestyle.

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
