Do you know HOW and WHEN to use the to help someone who is choking? 😦 It's important that you don't try the abdomina-thrust maneuver on someone unless you're sure they're choking.

Is the person conscious? ✅
Are they giving you the universal choking sign (reaching for their throat)? ✅
Can they talk, cough, or breathe? ❌

If the person is unconscious, you should call 911. If the person can cough, try letting them cough out the object and call 911 if they start having breathing trouble.

If the person is conscious but can't cough, and you're sure they're choking, doing the Heimlich to try to get the object out of their throat can be a life-saving measure.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs when the immune system attacks the protective layer around nerves. The inflammation damages the nerves and disrupts signals throughout the central nervous system.

can have periods of worsening symptoms and few or no symptoms (relapsing-remitting) or get steadily worse over time (primary progressive). Some patients with MS start out with relapsing-remitting, but develop progressive (secondary progressive) disease.

There's no cure for MS, but there are many disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) used to treat the different forms.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that causes mucus build-up in the organs. When someone has mutations in the CFTR protein, the body doesn't produce chloride, which is needed to move water to the cell surface. The result is sticky, thick mucus that can accumulate in the lungs, pancreas, liver, GI system, and other organs. People living with CF often develop respiratory issues, infections, and trouble absorbing nutrients.

CF is progressive and cannot be cured. However, many people with CF can live longer today than in the past thanks to improved treatments.

Did you know there are over 100 different types of primary brain tumors? About 74% of them are not cancer. The tumors that are cancerous are usually glioblastomas (52% of all malignant brain tumors). 🧠

Primary brain tumors aren't staged like other cancers. Instead, a grading system is used depending on how aggressive the tumor is.

Treating brain tumors is complex and not curative, so many patients take part in clinical trials.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that has widespread effects on the body. The most common form is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It can be hard to diagnose lupus because many of the symptoms are common to other conditions, and they range in severity.

One of the more recognizable symptoms of an acute lupus flare is a malar rash on the face. The distribution gives it a "butterfly" appearance. It can occur spontaneously or after sun exposure.
