I've seen this in the hospital more than once: consult for altered mental status in a patient with alcohol use d/o who walks well and has no nystagmus, and no thiamine onboard. A few references: https://t.co/rEygjNCOQH https://t.co/OPU7WkwF1L https://t.co/q6SS5hMsxZ

What people are saying
This collection of discussions demonstrates moderate interest through mentions of clinical cases and diagnostic challenges, such as a comment about hospital experiences with altered mental status, and some engagement with potential causes like alcohol use and vitamin supplementation. The tone varies from casual remarks to medical observations, resulting in an overall neutral view of the publication's impact.
The discussions show mixed opinions; some posts acknowledge the importance of the publication while others highlight personal experiences or question the emphasis on severity, leading to a neutral stance overall.
Many posts discuss intriguing aspects like the connection between alcohol use and neurological symptoms, indicating moderate interest, though some comments are more casual or tangential.
Posts include references to clinical observations, calls to consider vitamin intake, and mention of diagnostic processes, showing a decent level of engagement, but not deeply critical or analytical.
While some posts recognize the relevance of early diagnosis and treatment, overall discussions don't demonstrate significant shifts in understanding or practice, reflecting a modest impact.
Abstract in brief
- Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) includes Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff psychosis, both linked to thiamine deficiency, which affects the body's ability to utilize carbohydrates.
- Thiamine deficiency can arise from genetic factors or conditions like alcoholism and often leads to symptoms that are similar to other neurological disorders, making WKS difficult to diagnose.
- Timely diagnosis and treatment of Wernicke encephalopathy are crucial to prevent the severe memory loss associated with Korsakoff psychosis, and this review highlights research on the causes, identification, and treatment options for these conditions.

@DougStanhope Imagination must not be too reliant on dendrites, I imagine? 100 billion brain cells in a brain, that gives you some wiggle room to play around an experiment. Taking those multi-vitamins helps too https://t.co/EyYmUGGwPs
