Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. The increasing recognition and targeting of genetically defined DLBCLs highlights the need for robust classification algorithms. We previously characterized recurrent genetic alterations in DLBCL and identified five discrete subtypes, Clusters 1-5 (C1-C5), with unique mechanisms of transformation, immune evasion, candidate treatment targets and different outcomes following standard first-line therapy.

Background And Objectives: In patients with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), impaired cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is related to worse concurrent SVD burden, but less is known about cerebrovascular reactivity and long-term SVD lesion progression and clinical outcomes. We investigated associations between cerebrovascular reactivity and 1-year progression of SVD features and clinical outcomes.

Methods: Between 2018 and 2021, we recruited patients from the Edinburgh/Lothian stroke services presenting with minor ischemic stroke and SVD features as part of the Mild Stroke Study 3, a prospective observational cohort study (ISRCTN 12113543).

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) retinal imaging enables visualization of the retinal microvasculature that is developmentally related to the brain and can offer insight on cerebrovascular health. We investigated retinal phenotypes and neuroimaging markers of small vessel disease (SVD) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We enrolled 44 participants (mean age 50.

Article Synopsis
  • A significant portion of ischemic strokes are classified as lacunar subtypes, often characterized by recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSIs), but the long-term effects of these conditions are not well understood.
  • In a study involving 108 participants, hemosiderin deposits (HDs) were found in over half of them within 3 months, and in about 77% within 12 months, with a notable "rim" pattern suggesting they could resemble primary hemorrhage.
  • The study highlighted that the volume of the infarct and a higher total small vessel disease (SVD) score are predictive of the presence of HDs, emphasizing the importance of not misinterpreting these deposits as signs of bleeding in chronic
