I'm miffed at the ampersands inserted there instead of the 'and's. I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but "coma &, if untreated, death." is kinda silly.. Could we please change it back? Tarek 04:06, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Korsakoff's psychosis is the correct terminology.

Squatted

The website http://www.wernicke-korsakoff.com/ has been squatted by godaddy so it should be removed idk how —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.195.32 (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Carl Wernicke and Sergei Korsakoff "popularized" the respective illnesses? I didn't know an illness could be popularized... and I'm pretty sure it ain't popular. Extenebris 07:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ever heard of SARS? Bird Flu? Mad Cow disease? Now how many people do you know that have been aflicted by any of these diseases? I'm betting you can count them all on no fingers. Yet you know these diseases quite well. Why? The media "popularized" them. 140.146.194.5 17:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Alright, "popularized" in that sense. Wernicke and Korsakoff weren't journalists, though. The present version of the article is phrased much more carefully..nice job, whoever it was. Extenebris (talk) 14:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The structure of thiamine (B1) is wrong on this page--129.109.6.47 (talk) 14:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

"Popularized the definitions" of the illnesses, not the illnesses themselves. Surely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.90.168 (talk) 11:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment

This section worries me, it provides information that is unsubstantiated not written in balance and unreferenced. This needs to be corrected ASAP! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyrewldn (talk • contribs) 22:49, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article merge?

Is this the same syndrome as the page for "Korsakoff's syndrome"? Should these articles be merged?
