Elevation of ALP is an abnormal feature in TAFRO syndrome, but the cause is unknown. This article is the first report that histologically showed intrahepatic cholangitis may be the cause of ALP elevation in TAFRO syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wernicke encephalopathy is caused by vitamin B1 deficiency. It presents as a triad consisting of altered mental status, oculomotor dysfunction, and gait ataxia. Early vitamin B1 administration alleviates symptoms. We present a video of gaze‐evoked nystagmus in an elderly patient with Wernicke encephalopathy. It is often difficult to evaluate the mental and ambulatory states of frail elderly patients with dementia. In such cases, nystagmus is the only useful physical finding in the diagnosis of Wernicke encephalopathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses a case of Immunoglobulin-A vasculitis (IgAV) in an adult patient presenting with edema in the scalp, face, and sternocleidomastoid muscle. IgAV is a small-vessel vasculitis that primarily affects children and is characterized by IgA deposits in the vessel walls. While subcutaneous edema in the scalp and face is rare in adults, it has been occasionally reported in children. Muscle involvement in IgAV is also uncommon and typically occurs in the lower extremities. This case highlights the importance of considering exacerbating IgAV and intensifying treatment when adult patients present with edema in the head and neck. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and optimize treatments for similar cases. [Extracted from the article]
