NEW ORLEANS — In addition to news on the latest in clinical care and drug development, some eyebrow-raising findings that challenge long-held but untested assumptions are promised from the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology.
The conference starts in New Orleans on Saturday, but a sample of what is to come was given last week in a preview media briefing, moderated by Mikkael A. Sekeres, MD, from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Best New Coupes of 2022 and 2023The second-generation Toyota GR86 is due for the 2022 model year, and although it's completely new, it follows the same rear-wheel-drive formula as the first-gen car. Developed again in conjunction with the Subaru BRZ, the 2022 GR86 will be powered by a horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine and a standard six-speed manual transmission. This time around, Toyota has addressed our principal complaint with the last generation and has given the GR86 more horsepower for 2022. The new model is powered by a 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that makes 228 horsepower, which is 23 hp more than the outgoing model's 2.0-liter mill. The result is a phenomenal driving experience for the price, a combo that's worthy of spots on our 10Best and Editors' Choice lists.Review, Pricing, and Specs
