Two books with my chapter contributions received

Yesterday I got hold of Organ Crosstalk in Acute Kidney Injury: Basic Concepts and Clinical Practices, edited by Carlo Guido Musso & Adrian Covic, which includes my introductory chapter "Nosology and Semiotics". 

Today, back in office after a week in Colombia, I had another book waiting in my mail shelf, namely volume 4, "Life and its extensions", of Open Semiotics (L’Harmattan 2023), edited by Amir Biglari, which includes my chapter "Umwelt theory for practitioners: Semiotic guidelines for application in a more-than-human descriptive phenomenology".

Chapter "Nosology and semiotics" available for reading via Google Books

My introductory chapter "Nosology and semiotics" is available in full for reading in Google Books, as part of the book Organ Crosstalk in Acute Kidney Injury: Basic Concepts and Clinical Practices.

Book chapter "Nosology and Semiotics" published

The book Organ Crosstalk in Acute Kidney Injury: Basic Concepts and Clinical Practices, with my introductory chapter "Nosology and Semiotics", was published online yesterday.

There are now some descriptions of the forthcoming book Organ Crosstalk in Acute Kidney Injury: Basic Concepts and Clinical Practices, where I contribute with the opening chapter, "Nosology and semiotics". I found a book description on the webpage of Amazon Australia, the bookshop Lavoisier, and GoodReads. At Lavoisier, publication date is said to be in September 2023.    

Description:

This is an original work dedicated to an important and current topic in nephrology: organ crosstalk in acute renal injury. Acute kidney injury is a prevalent and serious syndrome. The related mortality to this syndrome has not been significantly reduced in the last decades despite the advances in renal replacement therapy technology. For this reason, a new approach to obtain an effective treatment is urgently needed. The organ crosstalk perspective could be useful in order to achieve this objective since it implies a very early acute kidney injury diagnose and treatment. This book includes a comprehensive review of the organ crosstalk perspective in acute kidney injury. Organized in two parts, the chapters in the first part present general subjects as an introduction to analysing the crosstalk concept. These chapters give an overview of the concepts of biosemiotics, hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines, signalling and adhesion molecules, organ intercommunication, and epigenetics. The second part gathers chapters on the different kidney crosstalk, such as brain, lung, heart, liver, gut, and placenta. Finally, there is a chapter dedicated to the influence of renal replacement treatment on kidney crosstalk. Since acute kidney injury is a topic of interest to many health professionals, this work will be a useful resource to general practitioners, internal medicine physicians, geriatricians, nephrologists, critical care therapists, immunologists, and also biologists and bioengineers.

#31,5; chapter "Nosology and semiotics" revised and resubmitted

Today I have had an article writing day devoted to planning for the time ahead and finishing revising my book chapter "Nosology and semiotics". I added some 50 words to the text in the process of completing reference reformatting. This was writing day no. 31,5 this Spring. 

I had 7,5 writing days in April, and wrote some 3.200 words.

Plan; reference for chapter on biosemiotic medicine for book on organic crosstalk in acute kidney injury

I am about to formalize, by way of a written agreement, my planned writing of a chapter on biosemiotic medicine for a forthcoming book on organic crosstalk in acute kidney injury.
