Unlike other dementias, the first signs of behavioural variant frontotemporal #dementia tend to be personality changes and inappropriate behaviour, rather than memory loss. @brien_terence spoke with @NareldaJacobs10 @10NewsFirstMelb about our sodium selenate clinical trial with @AlfredHealth, the world's first potential treatment for bvFTD. He said the biggest roadblock is getting the diagnosis right. "Patients can often get diagnosed as having a mental illness or breakdown, and they don't get a diagnosis and offered a trial like this". The phase 2b trial is open to anyone eligible for Medicare. Contact selenate@alfred.org.au #Monash #TranslationalMedicine #Neuroscience #Dementia #EndFTD Tune in at 17:48 bit.ly/48cR3LH

Another potential game changer for epilepsy treatment led by @patrick_kwan and Stan Skafidas. A new medtech innovation to deliver anti-seizure medications through the skin!
In a world first, Australian scientists have developed new technology to treat epilepsy. The medical breakthrough allows doctors to administer medication remotely helping thousands of sufferers avoid the risk of life threatening seizures. youtu.be/VJmcAnHLBDM @ijmullen #7NEWS
