Common anti-convulsant drug may help slow the progression of dementia

ing toxic effects in the brain.

Many HIV and AIDS patients are living significantly longer, more productive lives, but HIV-related dementia is a growing public health concern and a very common neurological illness in people aged 25 to 50. It's estimated up to 25 percent of the 50 million HIV patients worldwide will live long enough to develop HIV-related dementia.

"The University of Rochester and UNMC have accomplished something remarkable," Dr. Gendelman said. "We've gone from bench to bedside in just two years. And with further clinical studies, we hope to prove we can develop useful therapies more rapidly and efficiently for HIV-related dementia and perhaps for other neurological conditions as well."
