(LML) The utility of the Pressure Specified Sensory Device TM (PSSD) in Hansen's Disease

 

Leprosy Mailing List – October 9,  2015

Ref.: (LML)  The utility of the Pressure Specified Sensory Device TM (PSSD) in Hansen's Disease

From:  Eric Lee Wan, Ecuador and USA


Dear Pieter,

I believe that these articles (LML, September 30, 2015) are important because I would like for LML readers to read the papers, and not all of the readers have free access to these papers. So it would be a nice gesture to share the papers with them.


Best regards,
