Background: Correct identification of those patients presenting with an acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) or an acute imbalance syndrome (AIS) that have underlying posterior-circulation stroke (PCS) and thus may benefit from revascularization (intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), endovascular therapy (EVT)) is important. Treatment guidelines for AVS/AIS patients are lacking. We reviewed the evidence on acute treatment strategies in AVS/AIS focusing on predictors for IVT/EVT and outcome.

Low free Tri-iodothyronine (FT₃) levels are generally associated with poor prognosis in patients with various critical illnesses. Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) represents the most lethal form of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with substantial short- and long-term mortality. This study was done to assess the association between FT₃ levels and in-hospital outcome of the STEMI patients treated with streptokinase therapy.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in up to 10% of treated cases, significantly increasing the risk of thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While thrombolytic therapy is commonly used in adult coronary syndromes, its application in pediatric KD remains poorly studied. We report a 9-month-old infant with KD and giant CAA complicated by a subocclusive thrombus in the left anterior descending artery (LAD).
