World Brain Tumor Day 2026

Brain tumors can be benign or malignant. Knowing the warning signs such as persistent headaches, seizures, vision changes, weakness, or changes in thinking and behavior can help people seek medical attention early.

Today, we stand with patients and families, celebrate survivors, and support research that continues to improve care and outcomes.

For organizations, research is a starting point.

A study can identify a problem.
Data can reveal a gap.

Evidence can point toward a solution.
But impact happens when that knowledge changes what people do next.
The organizations creating the greatest impact today aren't simply generating evidence.

They're using evidence to:
• improve patient outcomes
• redesign services
• strengthen health systems
• inform policy
• guide investments
• build scalable solutions

Research creates insight.
Innovation transforms insight into action.

This June, we're exploring how organizations can move beyond producing knowledge, and toward creating measurable impact.

Because the future of health isn't built on evidence alone.
It's built on what we do with it.

World Environment Day 2026: What signal are you sending back? 🌍

The planet doesn't negotiate; it sends signals. From rising temperatures to shifting weather patterns, the environment is speaking to us clearly. For World Environment Day 2026, the global community is rallying under the theme of Climate Action, calling on everyone to step in and act .

At 101 Health Research, we know that environmental health is deeply intertwined with human health. Protecting our planet means protecting our communities, our families, and our future. In fact, taking decisive action on climate change right now could prevent millions of deaths globally by 2050.

Every action we take is a signal. Here is how we can send positive signals back to the Earth to foster healthier environments:
• 🌱 Embrace Urban Nature: Supporting green infrastructure and urban nature can cool city temperatures by up to 4°C, vastly improving air quality and local quality of life.
• 🔄 Reduce Food & Plastic Waste: Cutting down on waste and single-use plastics directly minimizes the environmental degradation that impacts our resource systems.
• ⚡ Shift to Cleaner Habits: Choosing energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, or supporting renewable solutions helps lower the emissions driving global temperature rises.

Building a safer, healthier, and more resilient future starts with the moves we make today.

What climate signal will you send this World Environment Day? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

After risk of bias, the next question is:
“How confident are we in the evidence as a whole?”

That’s what GRADE addresses.

GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) is a structured framework used to rate the certainty of evidence across studies for a specific outcome, most commonly for quantitative effect estimates.
But evidence is not always quantitative.

For qualitative evidence syntheses (QES), confidence is assessed using GRADE-CERQUAL, which applies similar principles to themes and findings derived from qualitative research.

Different methods, same goal:
making transparent how much trust we place in the evidence.

We’ll unpack both in this Guide

Before asking “What are the results?” ask: “Can we trust them?”
That’s the purpose of risk of bias assessment.

Bias refers to systematic errors in how a study is designed, conducted, analyzed, or reported, errors that can distort the estimated effect in a particular direction.

Risk of bias assessment does not ask whether a study is “good” or “bad.”
It asks whether the study’s methods may have systematically influenced its findings.

In systematic reviews, risk of bias is used to:
• interpret individual study results
• inform synthesis and meta-analysis
• support certainty of evidence judgments (e.g., GRADE)

We assess risk of bias using structured tools, applied domain by domain, not by intuition or scoring.

Software platforms and AI can assist with screening and extraction, but judgment remains essential.

Next: we’ll show how risk of bias connects to certainty of evidence.

Starting a systematic review and wondering how to write it?
That’s where PRISMA and PRISMA-P come in.

PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and PRISMA-P (for protocols) are reporting guidelines. They help you clearly describe:
• what you planned
• what you did
• what you found
• and what the limitations are

They are not quality scores and not appraisal tools.

Important distinction:
🔍 Risk of Bias assesses how trustworthy individual studies are.
đź“Š GRADE assesses how confident we are in the body of evidence.
PRISMA simply ensures these assessments, if done, are reported transparently.
We’ll discuss Risk of Bias and GRADE in separate posts.
