Lifelogging, the practice of recording daily activities through photographs or videos, enhances memory in healthy individuals and those with memory disorders by aiding both memory consolidation and retrieval processes. This study, involving 32 adults in controlled settings, investigated its effectiveness on episodic memory from first and third-person perspectives. Contrary to expectations, perspective did not influence memory performance.

Article Synopsis
- Social cognition is crucial for interpreting social information, and this study examined its impairment in individuals with Korsakoff's syndrome (KS) and alcohol-related dementia (ARD) compared to healthy controls.
- The study included 30 KS patients, 10 ARD patients, and 74 matched controls, using the Social Norms Questionnaire to measure social cognition.
- Results indicated that both KS and ARD patients struggled more with judging social norms than controls, with KS patients making significantly more judgment errors, highlighting the social behavior challenges faced by these patients.

Article Synopsis
- The article aims to enhance the awareness and treatment of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, primarily caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency linked to chronic alcohol misuse.
- Symptoms of thiamine deficiency include appetite loss, dizziness, tachycardia, confusion, and can often occur alongside severe infections, making timely recognition crucial.
- Effective management may require understanding factors such as urinary bladder retention, comorbid infections, and the role of hypomagnesemia, particularly in patients undergoing alcohol withdrawal or certain medications.
