Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a complex clinical-imaging pathological syndrome caused by small vessel lesions in the brain, which is characterized by aging-related, insidious onset and slow progression. Apathy is a key component of the common neuropsychiatric symptoms among CSVD patients, severely affecting their daily lives and social functioning. Moreover, there are fewer studies on CSVD-related apathy, and greater attention should be paid to this condition in clinical practice. This article describes the latest research advances in the concept, epidemiological features, pathogenesis, assessment and diagnosis, imaging and biomarkers, and treatment of CSVD-related apathy, aiming to serve as a reference for the clinical diagnosis and prevention of CSVD-related apathy.

Introduction: Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a small-vessel inflammatory condition that can rarely occur as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). Vancomycin-induced LCV is an uncommon but potentially serious complication, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment.
Reason For The Report: This case report describes a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who developed LCV following vancomycin therapy for a catheter-related infection.
This review focuses on the anatomic and radiographic characteristics of the pediatric proximal femur and the advantages and disadvantages of different protocols for the management of pediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNFs) in terms of fracture classification, reduction methods, reduction quality and fixation methods, with the goal of proposing an optimal treatment protocol for PFNFs to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. The anatomic and radiographic characteristics of the pediatric proximal femur, including the presence of an active growth plate, an immature femoral calcar, greater trabecular density and plasticity and a relatively immature blood supply are very different from those of the adult proximal femur. Treatment protocols for PFNFs must differ from those for adult femoral neck fractures.

The lack of sensibility of traditional ultrasound (US) imaging to the slow blood flow in small vessels resulted in the development of microbubble (MB) contrast agents. These MBs are given intravenously, and US imaging can detect them quite effectively. This noninvasive imaging method, known as contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), now makes it possible to accurately assess tissue perfusion and blood flow.

Objectives: Both temporal artery biopsy (TAB) and imaging are widely used to support the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). The objective of this study was to compare the use of TAB and imaging.
Methods: This article was based on a debate presented at the 21st Vasculitis Meeting, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of using TAB with histology vs imaging for the diagnosis of suspected GCA.
