A Genetic Connection To Kidney Disease: How Kidney Disease Can Impact You, Your Kidneys And Your Family By Family Features May 15, 2024 Share A genetic condition that can cause Kidney Failure, APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD) represents a group of Kidney Diseases associated with mutations (changes or variants) in the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) Genes. Typically, the APOL1 Genes - of which every person has two, one from each parent - create proteins that play a role in immunity. However, some people are born with mutations in one or both genes, and having mutations in both can increase the risk of developing Kidney Disease and even Kidney Failure. In honor of National AMKD Awareness Day, consider this information from the experts at the American Kidney Fund to better understand the disease and become APOL1 aware. Understanding Risk Factors Research shows Black people with Kidney Disease are more likely to develop Kidney Failure than any other Racial or Ethnic Group. The reasons for these health disparities include social determinants of health, a higher burden of Diabetes and High Blood Pressure in the Black community, barriers to health care access and genetics. The APOL1 Gene Mutations evolved over the past 3,000-10,000 years in people who lived in Western and Central Africa and are associated with increased protection from a parasite carried by the Tsetse Fly that causes African sleeping sickness. While protecting from one disease, the mutation - if inherited in both APOL1 Genes - is more likely to lead to Kidney Disease in those of certain African descent, including people who identify as Black, African American, Afro-Caribbean or Latina or Latino. In fact, an estimated 13% of Black Americans have two APOL1 Gene Mutations, according to the American Kidney Fund. While not everyone who has two APOL1 Mutations will get Kidney Disease, there is a 1 in 5 chance they will go on to develop AMKD. Identifying Symptoms If you have Kidney Damage, symptoms may not occur until your Kidneys are close to failing. As Kidney Damage worsens, one or more of these symptoms may occur: • Protein in Urine • Swelling in legs or weight gain • Feeling weak or tired • High Blood Pressure Should these symptoms occur and you have a family history of Kidney Disease, talk to a doctor about getting tested for Kidney Disease, as testing is the only way to determine Kidney Function. AMKD can cause damage to parts of the Kidney that filter blood or, in some cases, cause cells in the Kidneys to die, which can lead to damage and scarring that may eventually lead to Kidney Failure. Getting a Diagnosis The only way to know if you have APOL1 Gene Mutations is to do Genetic Testing via a Blood or Saliva Sample. Genetic Testing may be considered if you have Kidney Disease and don't know the cause or if you're considering donating a Kidney. Testing may also be considered if a family member is a carrier for the mutation. If you have questions about Genetic Testing, discuss your options with a doctor or ask for a referral to a Genetic Counselor. Taking Steps To Prevent Kidney Disease There are currently no treatments available for AMKD. However, there are steps you can take to protect your Kidneys and promote general health. Work with your doctor to create a plan to prevent or delay the progression of Kidney Disease, which may include: • Doctor visits to check how your Kidneys are working through Urine and Blood Tests • Checking for and managing Diabetes and High Blood Pressure • A healthy eating plan, which may involve limiting things like Sodium (Salt) • Taking prescription medications as directed • Being active at least 30 minutes each day of the week • Quitting Smoking or using Tobacco If you have the APOL1 Gene Mutations, you may be able to take part in Clinical Trials. Trials could provide an opportunity for researchers to develop and test safe treatments for AMKD. Also speak with family members about having genetic testing done if you have the mutation as they may also have it.

South Florida Hindu And Jewish Communities - Rally Against Pakistan-Sponsored Islamic Terrorism, Urge Global Accountability Jewish Connection News Jun 4, 2025 On Sunday May 4th, 2025 A Diverse Crowd Of Hindu And Jewish Community Members Gathered At The Torch Of Friendship In Downtown Miami For A Peaceful Rally To Honor The 26 Victims Of The brutal Islamic Terrorist Attack In Pahalgam, Kashmir, On April 22nd, 2025. Organized By The Kashmir Solidarity Foundation And Supported By The Hindu American Political Action Committee Of Florida (HAPAC of FL), Hindu American Foundation (HAF), Gummakonda Reddy Foundation, HinduAction, Dharmansh USA, And Kashmir Solidarity USA, The Rally Unequivocally Condemned Pakistan-Sponsored Islamic Terrorism And Called For Decisive Global Action. The rally’s objectives were to: • Educate South Florida communities about the atrocities in Kashmir. • Raise awareness among political leaders about the threat of Islamic Terrorism in India and the world. • Unite communities worldwide suffering from Radical Terrorism, including Jewish, Druze, Yazidi, Christian and other targeted groups. • Express solidarity with all victims of such violence and reject media narratives that obscure, deny or equivocate these acts. • Urge the U.S. Government to strengthen partnerships with India to combat Terrorism. • Expose Pakistan as the epicenter of Islamic Terrorism and demand accountability for its decades-long support of violent extremism. Participants stood in solidarity, condemning the attack perpetrated by The Resistance Front, a proxy of the Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba. The rally honored not only the Pahalgam victims but also countless others globally affected by Islamic Terrorism. Attendees observed a moment of silence, prayed for the grieving families and heard impassioned remarks from community leaders. The event concluded with a keynote address by Florida Congressional Nominee Joe Kaufman, who delivered a powerful call to action: “The 26 lives lost in Pahalgam were stolen in a sacred place of peace by terrorists backed by Pakistan’s military and intelligence services. This was not an isolated act—it is part of a global pattern of Islamic Terrorism that threatens Hindus, Jews and all who cherish freedom. We demand that the United States, India, and the international community hold Pakistan accountable and dismantle the networks fueling this violence.” The rally sent an unequivocal message to leaders in the U.S., India, and around the world: Islamic Terrorism must be confronted without hesitation, and Pakistan’s role as a state sponsor of terror can no longer be ignored. The Hindu and Jewish Communities of South Florida stand united in their resolve to seek justice and build a safer future. Previous Next

The Coconut Grove Arts Festival: Aims to Make A Collector Out Of Children February 16, 2023 Share In keeping with the Coconut Grove Arts Festival’s new theme, a different kind of hue, approximately 100 new artists have been added to the roster. While they aren’t new to the art world, their vision and works of art will certainly add a lot of novelty to this year’s show. Some of those artists have even agreed to “donate” art, which will be earmarked for the Young Collectors Club, a place within the show where kids armed with a few dollars can go inside without their parents to purchase their first work of art. Over 100 artists have agreed to donate at least one of their pieces to help kickstart the next generation of art collectors. “The most enthusiastic patrons of the Coconut Grove Art Festival are under the age of 12. Early impressions and memories of the experience of seeing and buying original art last a lifetime. We are proud of our young collectors and love to connect with them,” said Diane French whose work involves dry pigment painting. For years, artists have left an impression on art lovers of all ages. Painter and printmaker Ronna Katz knows too well that there’s nothing quite like the thrill of buying your very first piece of art. “There’s the feeling of empowerment in knowing you have selected and have a say in the matter of adopting the art that resonates for you. It’s a feeling of independence, adulthood, and coolness,” says Katz who cherishes those moments when a kid collector returns to her booth ‘to meet the artist’ and asks questions or requests an autograph as evidenced by these pictures and a note that one young collector left behind. One well-known bronze sculptor started his collection at age 12. John Vise is a testament to the importance of encouraging children's sense of wonder. “There was a famous artist who had a studio in our small town and my father was buying one of his pieces. While he browsed these big, elaborate constructions, I wandered the shop. Tucked along one windowsill, the artist's wife had little cast dragons that she made. Not nearly as detailed and not nearly as expensive. Both my dad and I walked out with a piece that day. It didn't matter that mine was twenty dollars and his was several hundred. I still have that piece and maybe more importantly I have the memory of discovery, of wonder and of pride of finding this treasure,” said Vise. Some of the art that will be on display has a direct link to the artist’s unique story and their work centers around an important theme. Whether it was a way to protect endangered species, sound the horn on slavery or come out of hiding, it’s clear that these artists have something to say. Take for instance, Edwin Lester from Philadelphia who’s participated in the past. He brings a very sophisticated and technically advanced style of realism to his figurative, atmospheric paintings, his work reflects what’s important and personal to him. Spending a few minutes speaking to artists at their respective booths could make the difference between just having a nice piece of art or proudly owning a true masterpiece. The following artists are just a small example of what organizers have known all along – that The Coconut Grove Arts Festival is truly special in every sense of the word. Jeribai Andrew-Jaja Originally from Nigeria, Africa, Jeribai came to the U.S. to study and has a Master's Degree Graduate in cyber security. His strong passion and fascination with Art and storytelling led him to his Art practice. He created a series of artworks documenting his journey of self-love and acceptance after being diagnosed with a skin condition called Vitiligo. His works seek to capture deep emotions and express strength. "I create hyper-realistic drawings using charcoal and graphite and generously spend about 150 hours on some drawings. My goal is to capture the entire essence and tell that story because we all have stories," said Jeribai Andrew-Jaja. (Texas) www.instagram.com/kiingjaja/ https://www.andrewjajaart.com/ Lisa Kristine For more than 30 years she has documented indigenous peoples and social causes as an internationally renowned photographer in more than 150 countries across six continents. Her work navigates the emotional landscapes of her subjects and their environments, driving awareness around causes such as human trafficking, indigenous wisdom and global unity. She is the recipient of a Lucie Humanitarian Award, presented at Carnegie Hall, honoring the greatest achievements of master photographers. “I use a 19th-century 4x5" field camera and Hasselblad. I wish to encourage a dialogue about our interlocking world's beauty, diversity and meaning. The photographic artworks are printed in my studio using a state-of-the-art Chromogenic printer,” said Lisa Kristine. (California) https://www.instagram.com/lisakristinephotography /https://lisakristine.com Anne London Career artist for 48 years, Anne started as a storyboard artist in Hollywood where she met Tippi Hedren, founder of Shambala, a sanctuary for retired movie animals. There, she began sketching the lions, elephants, tigers and others that became her life's focus; endangered species. Her passion has taken her to Africa more than 25 times, among other places. She founded a nonprofit to use art as a teaching tool for children in rural communities, mostly about the beauty of their wild surroundings. As a result, she’s been able to fund over a dozen scholarships sending women and men to ranger and wildlife college.

He made a full recovery and went on to win Best of Show in The St. Louis Art Show, a rare feat for a jeweler. “I am a contemporary jewelry artist that uses traditional metalsmithing techniques as well as modern technologies to create edgy, one-of-a-kind designs. Nature is a constant source of my designs,” says Oliver Schnoor.

Monkeypox: A Vaccination Site Has Opened in Hollywood August 18, 2022 Share The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has declared the Monkeypox Outbreak as a Public Health Emergency. The City of Hollywood has been monitoring the outbreak and in partnership with the Florida Department of Health, is responding by opening a FREE Vaccination Site in Hollywood. Vaccinations are taking place Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the David Park Community Center, 108 North 33rd Court, Hollywood, Florida 33021. The Site will be open Monday, August 15th, 2022 through Friday, August 26th, 2022. The Vaccination Site is by appointment only, walkups will not be accepted. Those 18 years of age and older wishing to be Vaccinated with the JYNNEOS Vaccine are encouraged to schedule an appointment online here. Please note: if the link to schedule an appointment is inactive, that means all available appointment times have been filled. You can check the appointment site frequently, as new appointment times become available. Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for The JYNNEOS Vaccine to allow Healthcare Providers to use the Vaccine by intradermal injection for individuals 18 years of age and older who are determined to be at high risk for the Monkeypox Infection. JYNNEOS, The Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Vaccine, was approved in 2019 for the prevention of The Smallpox and Monkeypox Disease in adults 18 years of age and older determined to be at high risk for The Smallpox or Monkeypox Infection. JYNNEOS is administered beneath the skin (subcutaneously) as two doses, four weeks (28 days) apart. For individuals 18 years of age and older determined to be at high risk of The Monkeypox Infection, the EUA now allows for a fraction of the JYNNEOS dose to be administered between the layers of the skin (intradermally). Two doses of the Vaccine given four weeks (28 days) apart will still be needed. There is no data available to indicate that one dose of JYNNEOS will provide long-lasting protection, which will be needed to control the current Monkeypox Outbreak. It takes 14 days after getting the second dose of JYNNEOS for its immune protection to reach its maximum. Consult your Healthcare Provider if you think you have been exposed, are at a high risk for exposure, or to see if you should get Vaccinated. The CDC recommends Vaccination for people who have been exposed and people who are at higher risk of being exposed. People more likely to get Monkeypox include: Prople who have been identified by Public Health Officials as being in contact with someone with Monkeypox, people who are aware that one of their sexual partners in the past 2 weeks has been diagnosed with Monkeypox, people who had multiple sexual partners in the past 2 weeks in an area with known Monkeypox, people whose jobs may expose them to Orthopoxviruses, such as: laboratory workers who perform testing for Orthopoxviruses, workers who handle cultures or animals with Orthopoxviruses and some designated Healthcare or Public Healthcare workers. If you or your Healthcare Provider suspect a possible case of Monkeypox, please call the 24/7 Disease reporting hotline at: (850) 245-4401. Frequently Asked Questions What is Monkeypox? Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the Monkeypox Virus. Monkeypox symptoms are similar to Smallpox symptoms, but milder and Monkeypox is rarely fatal. Am I at risk of getting Monkeypox? People can get Monkeypox if they have close, skin-to-skin contact with someone who has Monkeypox. Early indications are that events with activities in which people engage in close, sustained skin-to-skin contact have resulted in cases of Monkeypox. If you plan to attend an event, consider how much close, personal, skin-to-skin contact is likely to occur there. Some of the symptoms of Monkeypox include: Fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion. Symptoms can also include a rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appear on the face, inside the mouth and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet, chest, genitals or anus. The rash goes through different stages before healing completely. The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks. Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others only experience a rash. Symptoms usually appear one to two weeks after infection. What should you do if I have symptoms? First, see a Healthcare Provider if you notice a new or unexplained rash or other Monkeypox symptoms. Try to avoid close contact (including intimate physical contact) with others until a Healthcare Provider examines you. Avoid close contact with pets or other animals until a Healthcare Provider examines you. If you’re waiting for test results, follow the same precautions and if your test result is positive, stay isolated until your rash has healed, all scabs have fallen off and a fresh layer of intact skin has formed. How can Monkeypox be prevented? Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like Monkeypox. Do not share eating utensils, cups, handle or touch their bedding, towels or clothing. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. CDC tips to lower your risk are below.
