In the Review titled “Prepregnancy Care and Counseling: A Review,” published in the May 19, 2026, issue of JAMA, a reference was incorrectly cited and another reference was inadvertently omitted from the article. In the fifth paragraph of the Cardiovascular Disease section of text, the sentence “Testing may include electrocardiography, echocardiography, exercise testing, electrophysiology studies, and genetic evaluation for conditions such as Marfan syndrome, long QT syndrome, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy” was revised to cite reference 74. Additionally, in the Cannabis subsection of the Substance Use section of text, the sentence “A systematic review and meta-analysis (51 studies; 21 146 938 patients) reported that cannabis use during pregnancy was associated with increased odds of low birth weight (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.41-2.18; 20 studies), preterm birth (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.26-1.83; 20 studies), small for gestational age (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.36-1.81; 12 studies), and perinatal mortality (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07-1.55; 6 studies)” should have cited the following study: Lo JO, Ayers CK, Yeddala S, et al. Prenatal cannabis use and neonatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. JAMA Pediatr. 2025;179(7):738-746. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2025.0689. Because of this additional study, the seventh sentence in the Methods section was revised to “This Review includes 119 articles, consisting of…16 systematic reviews and meta-analyses…” and references 114-118 were renumbered to 115-119. This article was corrected online.

This cross-sectional study assesses National Institutes of Health (NIH) data from fiscal years 2016-2025 comprising annual counts of principal investigators funded through research grants and fellowship grant recipients, stratified by self-reported sex, race, ethnicity, and disability status.
Diabetes incidence is rising in the US, with more than 40 million US residents living with this condition. Diabetes morbidity and mortality are unequally distributed, and new diagnoses are higher among American Indian/Alaska Native, Black, and Hispanic adults, compared with White adults. Managing prescription medications is critical to reducing diabetes morbidity, as is controlling risk factors and associated comorbid conditions. However, the cost of pharmacologic therapy has increased substantially, driven in part by the growing use of newer glucose-lowering agents. The high cost of these medications comprises a substantial portion of diabetes-related health care expenditure for individuals with diabetes and may result in restrictive coverage by health plans insuring enrollees with diabetes, further limiting access to care. The out-of-pocket costs faced by patients are particularly burdensome, because patients also face the consequences of adverse downstream outcomes that result from reduced medication adherence due to costs.
Poetry is inherently expressive and often subjective, making it a useful complement to stoically objective medicine. A reader may experience one viewpoint within a poem or even two or more perspectives living within the same verse. Because it can accommodate such divergences, poetry can help reconcile conflicting narratives, as may arise during clinical care. In particular, clinicians must often engage cultural beliefs that differ widely from their own; yet cross-cultural humility is often not adequately taught during medical training, resisting typical didactic approaches as not problems to be solved but worlds to be entered. The poem “Two Languages” illustrates what cannot be reduced to abstract statistics or checklist stereotyping, as the speaker grapples with depression amid rounds in the emergency department, ironically treating patients with depression while receiving unscientific, culturally based advice from his mother on how to best alleviate his own symptoms. Medication and other clinical interventions are set beside religiousness and home cooking. Data collide with the cultural differences inscribed upon the speaker’s illness experience, with its roots in war, displacement, and food insecurity in a distant country with another language. Yet a conversation that honors a “quiet kind of love” between mother and child provides a lifeline, through a poetry that ultimately informs the speaker’s dedication to, and empathy for, his patients. “She sends care the only way she knows…Mom, be beside me,” he says, lines reaching across cultural dissonance to show healing connection can triumph, even without completely shared ideologies.

To the Editor Dr Molyneaux and colleagues reported the CORAL randomized clinical trial evaluating nalbuphine extended release (ER) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)–associated cough, an area where evidence-based options remain limited. By pairing 24-hour digital cough monitoring with patient-reported measures, the study provides a useful template for antitussive trials in interstitial lung disease.

To the Editor In the CORAL randomized clinical trial, Dr Molyneaux and colleagues reported that nalbuphine ER reduced 24-hour objective cough frequency in patients with IPF and chronic cough. Higher doses led to more significant reductions compared with placebo after 6 weeks. Although this study addresses a critical unmet need, several aspects require clarification to facilitate its clinical application.
