The Association of Women Surgeons Wants Your Photos
The Association of Women Surgeons often uses photos in its various projects, and we'd love to have access to your real-life moments.
Share your pics with us by attaching them to an e-mail you send to aws.member@kee.ps. Anything that says "woman surgeon" to you is helpful. (Please make sure you have the rights to the photos before you share them with us.)
You're amazing and we want the world to see you in action.
2013 Association of Women Surgeons American Journal of Surgery Request for Manuscript Submission
AWS is pleased to announce that starting October, 2013, we will have an annual issue of The American Journal of Surgery devoted to papers from our members. Our ultimate goal will be to have about 20 original manuscripts from AWS members. Original research is preferred, but well-written and timely review articles are also appropriate for submission. Invited manuscripts on topics mutually agreed upon by AWS and AJS may be solicited individually where appropriate.The AWS/AJS Editors -- Amalia Cochran, MD; Marie Crandall, MD; Celeste Hollands, MD -- will serve as guest editors of The American Journal of Surgery to coordinate this process.
We ask that you consider if you have a project or manuscript you would like to submit. Please e-mail Celeste Hollands if you have questions about submitting a manuscript and to indicate your intention to submit. Please respond by March 1, 2013 if you are considering submitting a manuscript so that we can coordinate our review process with the AJS. The manuscript submission deadline to the AWS/AJS editors is June 1, 2013
Call for Papers: American Journal of Clinical Medicine
For Fall 2013 – Vol. 10, No. 4 submit by Aug. 1, 2013
The American Journal of Clinical Medicine (AJCM) is the official, peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Physicians Specialists, Inc. (AAPS) an organization dedicated to promoting the highest intellectual, moral and ethical standards of its members. Its diversity incorporates physicians that represent a broad spectrum of specialties including anesthesiology, dermatology, diagnostic radiology, disaster medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine/OB, family practice, geriatric medicine, hospital medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, psychiatry, radiation oncology, general surgery and urgent care medicine.
To further the goals of AAPS, which includes providing education for its members and promoting the study research and improvement of its various specialties, the AJCM invites submissions of high-quality review articles, clinical reports, case reports or original research on any topic that has potential to impact the daily practice of medicine.
Publication in the AJCM is one of the criteria to qualify for the prestigious Degree of Fellow within the AAPS Academies of Medicine.
Call for Manuscripts on Integrative Aspects of Energy Homeostasis and Metabolic Diseases for the American Journal of Physiology—Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology
The American Journal of Physiology—Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology is soliciting original manuscripts and review articles addressing the physiological and metabolic factors involved in the three major components of energy homeostasis: intake, expenditure, and storage. Specific emphasis will be on those integrative factors that are either affected by or contribute to the development and maintenance of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.
The organizing editor is Dr. Barry Levin. Each component of energy metabolism will have two or three guest editors who will help to identify potential authors of reviews in these areas, as well as encourage researchers within their areas to submit original publications. The guest editors are listed below. Appropriate topics in the energy intake area include central and peripheral factors involved in regulating feeding, including but not limited to, gastric bypass and pharmacotherapy. Energy expenditure topics may include, but are not limited to, surgically, pharmacologically, exercise-, and diet-induced changes in expenditure and sources of expenditure. Energy storage topics can involve any factor having to do with adipocyte biology and regulation but may also include ectopic storage in muscle and liver and other organs. These topics should relate in some way to metabolic diseases. Finally, this Call for Papers is especially meant to address the integration of different levels of scientific analysis, from molecular to cellular, systemic to behavioral, as well as the connections among homeostatic and reward-based, peripheral, and central factors involved in energy homeostasis regulation.
Note to Authors: All manuscripts should be submitted online via eJournal Press. During the online submission, under the “Keywords, Categories, Special Section” tab, please choose “Energy Homeostasis and Metabolic Diseases” under “category.” Indicate in the cover letter that the submitted manuscript is in response to the “Integrative Aspects of Energy Homeostasis and Metabolic Diseases” Call for Papers and also indicate the specific area of energy homeostasis at which it is aimed. Because some papers will involve more than one area, authors should provide a priority list of the areas in which they would like the paper to be reviewed.
Manuscripts will undergo normal peer review. If accepted, the article will be highlighted simultaneously with other papers appearing in response to this announcement, if possible. Submissions will be reviewed as they are received and will be published online immediately upon acceptance. While most reviews will be solicited by the guest editors, we will also accept suggestions from authors who wish to write a relevant review and submit this request by e-mail to an appropriate guest editor.
