World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day – Focus on Leishmaniasis

January 30th marks Neglected Tropical Diseases Day. This collection of diseases encompasses a wide variety of illnesses which primarily affect tropical regions of the world. Some, like leishmaniasis, are parasitic diseases. Some, like dengue and chikungunya, are transmitted by mosquitoes. Collectively, neglected tropical diseases (or NTDs) likely affect more than a billion people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization—and NIAID is committed to researching better ways to fight against them. Learn more about NIAID's work on leishmaniasis.

Let’s champion empowerment, advocacy, justice, and more

Dear Hcis,

Individuals with Autism and other developmental disabilities face gross inequities related to health, safety, education, employment, and well-being.

Our new Autism Justice Center works to ensure that everyone in the Autism community has access to the resources and supports they need in order to fully participate in our society — free from abuse, neglect, and discrimination.

If you don’t know Reginald “Neli” Latson — one of our advocates— please take 45 seconds to watch his story and learn more....

As a supporter, you help individuals like Neli and others nationwide through our new Autism Justice Center and all of the Autism Society’s resources and programs. Will you make your gift and help expand our positive impact in 2024?

Give Today

With your generosity, we can continue to champion empowerment, advocacy, and justice for all people with Autism.

With gratitude,

Carlean Ponder

Director, Autism Justice Center

Autism Society of America

P.S. There is an enormous gap between the needs and resources available for Autistic people in regards to criminal justice, healthcare equity, services, and support. When you make your gift, the Autism Society can close that gap and create life-changing connections — empowering every individual in the Autism community to access the support they need, when they need it. Thank you, Hcis

Make Twice the Impact in the Fight to End Diabetes

We’re on the front lines in the fight to make diabetes a thing of the past—and your matched donation can get us closer to a cure.

Let’s work together to make a meaningful impact in the fight to end diabetes.

Dear Friend,

We can achieve more in 2024 when we work together. Our mission at the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. But to do that, it takes all of us. And thanks to an anonymous donor, your donation will be matched up to a campaign total of $100,000 to double your impact.

Please, will you donate today to support critical diabetes research, education, and advocacy?

Over 38 million Americans are living with diabetes and nearly 98 million have prediabetes. Many people impacted by diabetes experience financial burdens from health care costs and insulin affordability, discrimination due to their diabetes diagnosis, and challenges from the daily responsibilities of diabetes management. Let them know you stand with them.

Taking a stand puts your name in the fight to make a difference in the lives of millions. Can we count on your matched donation today to help the ADA continue this lifesaving work?

Switching to Vegan or Ketogenic Diet Rapidly Impacts Immune System

NIH Study Finds Distinct Immune Responses Occur Quickly When Diets Change, More Research Needed to Determine Health Effects

Switching to Vegan or Ketogenic Diet Rapidly Impacts Immune System

NIH researchers observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a keto diet. Scientists closely monitored various biological responses of people sequentially eating vegan and keto diets for two weeks, in random order. They found that the vegan diet prompted responses linked to innate immunity—the body's non-specific first line of defense against pathogens—while the keto diet prompted responses associated with adaptive immunity—pathogen-specific immunity built through exposures in daily life and vaccination. Metabolic changes and shifts in the participants' microbiomes—communities of bacteria living in the gut—were also observed. More research is needed to determine if these changes are beneficial or detrimental and what effect they could have on diseases such as cancer or inflammatory conditions.
