Irish Health Repository
Lenus is the Irish Health Repository which is an Open Access initiative. It has over 4,500 full-text resources encompassing clinical research, policy evaluation, statistics and official publications and is the only Irish resource of its kind.
The content includes 3 collections :
1. HSE (includes HSE publications categorised by broad subjects, theses, archive of former health board publications and minutes)
2. Other Irish health publications (includes DOHC publications and other Irish health organisations)
3. Research Articles (this is a work in progress with the intention of including up to date articles of interest to Irish health professionals).
This is a broad collection and it is not limited to the HSE; it is a national resource and contributions are most welcome.

One in the eye....
The inner blood-retina barrier currently blocks the vast majority of clinically validated drugs for treating degenerative eye disease. But the Trinity team has demonstrated a technique in pre-clinical models to open the barrier transiently to small molecules, such as therapeutic drugs, while keeping harmful substances out.

Twitter for beginners: 5 steps for better tweeting
INTUTE is changing - for the better
- The main change is that content will be organised around 19 subjects, making it much easier for students to find the resources they need for their studies.
- The Virtual Trainig Suite tutorials will be much more prominent, highlighting relevant titles from the new subject pages. The tutorials will also be shorter and easier to read.
- MyIntute personalisation service has also been simplified, making it easier to set up alerts by email and RSS, and export bookmarks to social bookmarking sites such as Delicious user friendly and subject specific than before. Keep an eye out at the Intute blog or Twitter sites.

Declaring war on MRSA & C.diff
A RESEARCH group in Cork has enlisted a new ally in the fight against hospital superbugs – designer bacteria. They are building tougher bacteria as a way to tackle the dangerous Clostridium difficile. It is germ warfare out there as researchers do battle against the new emerging superbugs, says University College Cork’s Dr Roy Sleator. Many have developed resistance to our best antibiotics leaving doctors without weapons that can stop C difficile and the infamous MRSA. He and colleagues at UCC’s Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre (APC) are taking an alternative approach, adding extra genes that will give their designer bacteria the edge over C difficile . Full details here.
