Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), caused by a jolt or blow to the head, or penetrating injury, such as a gunshot wound, is a significant burden for patients and society as a whole. Certain individuals are more prone to experiencing TBIs than others, like those who participate in high-risk sports and activities, such as football, horseback riding, and motorcycling. Others with high-risk careers experience higher rates of TBI, like military servicemembers, first responders, and construction and manufacturing workers.

New research, diagnostics, and treatments are offering hope to people living with the long-term effects of TBI.

Heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States. More Americans die from Cardiovascular diseases each year, including stroke, than cancer and accidents combined, though overall, death rates are declining.

Promising new research into the causes of cardiovascular disease, as well as new therapies and approaches to research and diagnosis, have the potential to revolutionize patient care.

In 2026 there are many exciting clinical trials on the horizon that have the potential to advance research and improve patient care. From new approaches to cancer treatment, to first-in-class treatments for cardiovascular disease and promising drugs for treating long COVID, this year we hope to see study results that indicate progress in personalized medicine and accessibility of care.
