Note editor:  maybe some of you did receive this message already, but because of the problems we had not everyone on our LML list.

Ref.:  (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy - Sep '21 

 

From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

 



Dear colleagues, 

From now on Boolean operators can be used when searching the Infolep database! You can use operators, such as AND, OR, NOT, including truncation, wildcards and proximity, to make your search more specific. The "old" way of searching, by entering key words and using the filter boxes on the left, will still work as well. If you have any questions, feedback or need any help using this new functionality, please let us know.

A new 
Rehabilitation Resource Repository has been launched by the Learning, Acting and Building for Rehabilitation in Health Systems (ReLAB-HS) consortium. The repository provides an online portal that catalogues evidence-based rehabilitation resources, such as manuals, toolkits, policies, protocols, and guides that inform and support service development and delivery.

PerMaTa South Sulawesi launched their own website. PerMaTa is a non-profit organization by and for people affected by leprosy in Indonesia. The website provides information about their activities to support and inform people affected by leprosy and their communities (in English and in Bahasa Indonesia). Take a look!

Below you will find the list with new publications on leprosy and interesting events. Feel free to contact me to receive full-text versions if these cannot be found through the Infolep portal. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches on Infolep.

Warm regards,

Anniek Akerboom
