: Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in oncology patients independent of alcohol use, likely resulting from poor dietary thiamine intake. High metabolic demands, such as those in acute illnesses seen in the emergency department (ED), can exacerbate thiamine deficiency. In this study, our objective was to assess the incidence of thiamine deficiency in ED oncology patients, which could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy or other thiamine deficiency disorders if left untreated.

Anti-dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein 6 antibody-mediated disease is a rare autoimmune encephalitis typically presenting with diarrhoea and/or weight loss, central nervous system hyperexcitability and cognitive dysfunction. We present a case of a young woman with 10 days of diplopia and unsteadiness in the context of dysthymia and significant weight loss over 2 months. Initial examination demonstrated mixed dysconjugate nystagmus and ataxic gait.

Article Synopsis
- In patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis, brain complications like Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome and uremic encephalopathy can develop, with their potential reversibility depending on early detection and treatment.
- Neurological symptoms can range widely from mild consciousness disturbances to coma, and imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing the specific underlying issues.
- Complications linked to dialysis include Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome and Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome, each showing unique imaging patterns, but accurate diagnosis often requires a detailed clinical history and lab results due to occasionally overlapping features.
