Article Synopsis
- Diagnosis of Wernicke Encephalopathy (WE) is complicated due to variability in symptoms; this study updates how MRI can help identify typical and atypical imaging findings linked to clinical features.* -
- In a study of 47 patients with confirmed WE, strong interrater reliability for MRI findings was observed, and 77% of cases were determined to be MRI positive, especially with the FLAIR sequence.* -
- Atypical imaging findings were present in 23% of cases, often observed with typical findings, which included both alcoholics and non-alcoholics, indicating the necessity for thorough MRI assessment in WE diagnosis.*
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a higher incidence of depression and a worsening of psychiatric conditions, while pre-existing constraints of the healthcare system and safety regulations limited psychiatric care.
Aims: We investigated the impact of the pandemic on the clinical care of patients with a single episode (SE-MDD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) in Germany.
Methods: Nationwide inpatient data were extracted from the German Institute for Hospital Remuneration System for 2020 and 2021 (depression data) and the Robert Koch Institute (COVID-19 incidence).
