Cutaneous Collagenous Vasculopathy Treated With Pulsed Dye Laser: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV) is an underreported cutaneous microangiopathy that primarily involves the lower extremities. Optimal treatment of CCV has not been well-defined, which may be in part due to the rare nature of the condition; however, a few case reports have demonstrated a reduction in the appearance of CCV-associated telangiectasias with vascular laser therapy. Here, we present two cases of CCV successfully treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy and summarize the existing literature on this topic.

A systematic literature review of sex differences in childhood language and brain development.

The extent of sex differences in childhood language development is unclear. We conducted a systematic literature review synthesizing results from studies examining sex differences in brain structure and function relevant to language development during childhood. We searched PubMed and Scopus databases, and this returned a total of 46 published studies meeting criteria for inclusion that directly examined sex differences in brain development relevant to language function in children.
