Hello people,
for this request you can to click www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
it is the site of National Library of Medicin.
So click on PubMed ( upwards on the left ), and now write
after "for": "thiamin deficiency parenteral nutrition encephalopathy",
and you'll have a list of medical articles about non-alcoholic WKS.

Greetings, G
