Improving global encephalitis care

How can we improve encephalitis care? A new therapy that could help toddlers who have gone blind, and are antidepressents really speeding cognitive decline in dementia patients?

Encephalitis can be a debilitating condition, but many people have never even heard of it. A new global report looks at how we can improve diagnosis and treatment.

Also on the program, new research seems to indicate that antidepressents might speed cognitive decline in dementia patients, but do they really? We take a closer look at some of the caveats. And a gene therapy for toddlers who have gone blind is showing some promise, we鈥檒l look into what this could mean for future treatments.
