MR in a patient with Wernicke encephalopathy showed enhancement in the mamillary bodies and inferior quadrigeminal plate. These findings pointed to the correct diagnosis, which can be difficult to make in patients who are not alcoholics.

A case of Thiamine refractory Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, successfully treated with the combination of magnesium sulphate and thiamine is presented. The role of Magnesium Sulphate in such cases has been discussed.

To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent publication by Zheng published in the November 2015 issue of the American Journal of Therapeutics which reports a case of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) 7 weeks after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The author describes a rare case of WE resulting from thiamine deficiency in a 42-year-old female patient who underwent SG. According to the article, WE ...

Summary: Motifs are small connected subnetworks that a network displays in significantly higher frequencies than would be expected for a random network. They have recently gathered much attention as a concept to uncover structural design principles of complex biological networks. FANMOD is a tool for fast network motif detection; it relies on recently developed algorithms to improve the efficie...

The age and gender of a series of patients with different types of aphasia were analysed. Regardless of gender, patients with Broca and conduction aphasias were significantly younger than those with Wernicke and global aphasias. Considering the established cerebral localisation of each of those aphasia types, it appears that, with age, stroke in the territory of the middle cerebral artery will ...

A contemporary view of conceptual representation in the brain holds that conceptual knowledge is distributed throughout the cerebral cortex, localized to cortical regions involved in their initial processing, and functionally interconnected through synchronized associative processes that are mediated through "convergence zones". The primary goal of the present paper is to point out that Carl We...
