The authors of a new Perspective argue that despite recognition that racial and ethnic categories are poor proxies for genetic diversity, race is still used to guide pharmaceutical use, posing risks of ineffectively low or dangerously high dosing. Learn more: nej.md/3RVMAJ7

Presented at #EHA2026: Talquetamab–daratumumab, with or without pomalidomide, led to longer progression-free survival than daratumumab-based standard care in relapsed or refractory myeloma. More than 75% of patients had grade 3 or higher adverse events. Full phase 3 MonumenTAL-3 trial results: nej.md/4ojBcCL @EHA_Hematology

In a new Perspective, Debi A. LaPlante, PhD, and Heather M. Gray, PhD, argue that clinicians might dismiss excessive gambling as a behavior outside the scope of medical care. But screening for gambling disorder and other psychiatric conditions could help mitigate related harms. Learn more: nej.md/4exMW1h

A 38-year-old pregnant woman at 30 weeks’ gestation was referred to the dermatology clinic for evaluation of an itchy lesion on her abdomen that had first appeared 9 years earlier and subsequently slowly expanded. The lesion first appeared after the patient had emigrated from Honduras, where she had worked in agriculture. Physical examination of the 15-cm lesion and the histopathological analysis of a skin-biopsy sample are shown. What is the most likely diagnosis? Submit your answer: nej.md/IC06112026

Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital (@MassGeneralNews): A 14-year-old girl was admitted to this hospital because of hypertension. The patient had been in her usual state of health until 10 days before the current admission, when malaise, myalgias, and nausea developed, with five episodes of vomiting. The patient’s parents took her to the emergency department of another hospital. On evaluation, the blood pressure was 125/85 mm Hg and the heart rate 120 beats per minute. The patient was actively vomiting and had dry mucous membranes. She appeared to be well developed and nourished. Intravenous fluids were administered. The symptoms abated slightly, and the patient was discharged home. During the next 10 days, the vomiting continued, and intermittent fever, epigastric pain, nasal congestion, and cough developed. When the episodes of vomiting increased in frequency, the patient’s parents took her back to the emergency department of the other hospital. The blood pressure was 162/112 mm Hg and the heart rate 98 beats per minute. The patient reported nausea; mild tenderness was noted in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. The blood level of potassium was 2.7 mmol per liter (reference range, 3.5 to 5.1). Tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, influenza A and B viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus were negative. Intravenous ondansetron, fluids, and potassium were administered, and the patient was transferred to this hospital for further treatment.

Osborn et al.: nej.md/4ojdoiA 💡 Tip: Try asking AI Companion to break this article down into teaching points for you.
