I love your video series. Definitely going to be using for national boards prep more. So simplistic! I was frustrating when I examined my education of the subject matter that I am in debt for now.
Once again you rock, thanks for this informative video. It makes me having Ahhhhh moments particularly the motor ( Broca's) and sensory ( Wernicke's) explanation. Great to learn new vocab ! Hope u have a great day!
I especially liked this video since it helped me to understand this much better and I never learned to differentiate the two when each stop working. The example for Wernicke's aphasia drove the point home. The pics with the Broadmann areas was super helpful, too! Overall the whole video was brilliant, even if there was 1 little mistake. Thanks so much, once again!
My father (lifelong excessive beer drinker), stopped eating and slipped into a severely declining state over the pandemic resulting in him being unconscious on the ground for 2 days having lived off beer for a few weeks. He was diagnosed with WKS and spent 54 days in hospital (was stable and could've been released 2 weeks earlier but he was still recovering and his final discharge assessment would determine if he kept his medical power of attorney, so we kept him there hoping to get him over the bar).
Luckily his organs recovered quickly in hospital but his walking (ataxia) and his memory (new short to long term memory) were severely compromised. We were told he would likely need full time care for rest of his life and he may never walk. I worked with him daily starting on day 15 in hospital through discharge for 60 days both physically and mentally and slow recovery was noticed, i got him to shuffle walk and remember things for 1 hr, then 2 then a day, but progress started to noticeably taper and was almost stagnant at around day 120.
All the research I did basically said there is basically no treatment (given neuron brain damage) other than 100% no alcohol and vitamin B. But then I started looking into TBI and stroke recovery since there are some parallels and found some recent stem cell trial results that looked very hopeful. I tried to contact several research doctors but no response and there weren't any new trials soon or that i wanted to risk him being in the 50% placebo group so I looked for clinics internationally and found a few. after looking up reviews and distances we ended up choosing Bioexcelerator in Colombia. The clinic didn't have any experience treating his condition and was hesitant because of the rate of progression from continued alcoholism, but I advocated hard and they accepted him as a patient. 6 months after his hospitalization we were in Colombia and he got 110 million stem cells injected via IV(Not as needed) and 40 million stem cells injected intrathecally into his spinal cavity fluid to migrate to the brain (this was the main hopeful treatment). 48 hrs later he was noticeably sharper and clearer eyed, 72 hrs later he could remember details from earlier in the day or a movie he was watching much better, 2 weeks later he could still remember his trip to Colombia and what connecting flights he was on and where we stayed on the route from Colombia to Canada, etc. 3 weeks later he drove himself to his dental appointment, settled the bill and drove back home all on his own with his face frozen! and now he recites summaries of articles he read in the paper 1-3 days before.. It's been like a miracle. I felt like I needed to share my experience in case it helps even one other person, we still have a long road ahead and we pray his recovery continues at the current pace, we are now on week 4 after treatment. As positive as my father's response has been, I can't say it would be the same in all cases (i don't want to give false hope, but I do want to give hope and credit where it's due) we also don't know yet how far the treatment will help him get back to his former baseline, as you may know, WKS is considered as a spectrum from acute /temporary(Wernicke) to more chronic/permanent (korsakoff), FYI in my dad's case the doctors indicated based on his clinical diagnosis and MRIs he was likely mid spectrum with some definite permanent damages but hopeful prognosis on some recovery over many mths/yrs.
It's a theory about the fact that you use both hemispheres in every aspect of your life and it's easier for our brain to understand and integrate all the stimuli that comes to us. that's why we have a corpus callosum, so both hemispheres communicate better. So when one of our hemisphere is somehow damaged, the other hemisphere can take in time the control of that part.
Love your vids. My Mom is experiencing dementia and often says she can't understand what I'm saying. So it's the broca which isn't working at 100%. Thank you.
@@MedicosisPerfectionalis God. She's 86 and has only ever taken one medication her whole life, for blood pressure. I find speaking slower and waiting for her to figure out the context helps a lot. Once again thank you.
About 9 months ago I had a hemorrhage and it affected my wernicke's part. So after the bleeding, I had some progress started from zero (one word, often incorrect) to now that I am able to make this comment. Mostly my difficulty is finding the right words in a conversation so I have to pause and think. My reading is also quite slow if I have to focus but it's easier to just skim and get the general point. Also I have difficulty with focus and short term memory, or maybe it's more correct to say bad working memory but not sure if that's related to aphasia.
there is no relationship between wernicke's encepholopathy and wernicke's area it is a common mistake you will get the question wrong on the board exam
If I were to make my mother take a vitamin B1/Thiamine supplements while continuing her alcoholism would she still develop this type of dementia? I believe she is already showing signs of brain damage she acts drunk even when she is not. I heard this is the only type of dementia that can be reversed so there is hope but she will never stop drinking she sees nothing wrong with it.
You’re right...The title should’ve been more accurate. I have many videos on vitamin B1 in my Biochemistry Playlist. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Whole grain 🥖 🌾 ua-cam.com/video/3ORfy5Eeefs/v-deo.html And Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS) | Biochemistry ua-cam.com/video/7zjABcYH3xI/v-deo.html
Dr. With all due respect to the line, Those that “think they are awesome”. The disease itself….the reasoning or logic behind “I am awesome” It’s more like “we cannot stress in the human language how important this is. That “we” need help.” “If I speak knowledgeable or do not retreat with my thoughts, You will give in. “ I win. So “we” are going to “wait” for a DR to make a verbal mistake so we can pounce logically, regardless of time, place or when. The appearance of ego, egotistical , alpha tendencies are more of survival techniques and is our way of our MIND specifically saying it’s in trouble let’s mate. Or eat, or fight! Self fake confidence sir. It’s a defense mechanism, a cry for help. It’s psychological sir, and neurological. I do not think I’m awesome. I think im me. Or full of “myself”. I apologize I cannot be full of anyone else, for now myself is all that will do……Language matters. Brains think in “cooking” or “baking”
When you speak, it is common men who are listening. So please speak slowly, clear prounciation and less medical terminoligies if your intention is people to really understand whatever you say. Thanks comments from Pune, India.

4:06 not Broc's area but Wernicke dude
Yes!
My bad 🤗
But thanks for the video btw
Keep doing 🙌
I will...Thank you so much!
Can you please help me by sharing?
Love your vids. My Mom is experiencing dementia and often says she can't understand what I'm saying. So it's the broca which isn't working at 100%. Thank you.
You’re very welcome.
I am sorry to hear that.
How is your mother’s health otherwise?

Say Hi to your mom.
Very interesting and with good sense of humor! I love it👍
4:03 it would be wernicke's area, Not broca's. Love the explanations ❤

really amazing vídeo!

That’s true...They are not the same...I will talk about that in the next video...Thanks for clarifying!
Very well explained.
Thanks 😊
Wow this was so well explained :)
Thank you so much 😊
wonderfull !!
Thank you 🙏
By vitamin b1 suppliment, patient may get speech , etc. ??
If it’s an acute insult to the brain, then the answer is yes.
Chronic is much harder.
Thanks for continuing biochem 👍
My pleasure 😇
Implications for nonverbal classic autism? Very good explanation. Thank you.
You’re welcome 😇

'If it doesn't then you have wernicke's A phasia 😂😂😂'
Love your videos. Keep making more such videos😊
Thanks 😊
Title is about b1 diffieciency, but U really didn't touch on b1 but for a few seconds, or did I blink for too long of a x and missed it🤔
You’re right...The title should’ve been more accurate.

Yes
You are so funny 🤣
Thank you so much 😊
Are you trying to prove somebody wrong? There's a lot of frickings in here like you're upset.. but thank you. My mother has this 😟
Upset about what? 🤷♂️
I am not angry.
So sorry to hear that about your mom.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
Bro please just start neuroanat already!!!
Please check your emails I purchased your electrolyte course and can’t even access it now...
What’s your email? And what’s your order number?
Was he teaching this to his girlfriend?
HAHAHA
