Description: Brunella Longo brings once again the light of art and the clarity of an expert in science communication into a complex medical subject: revolving around self-care, health and dysfunctions of the exocrine glands, Secretions is a collection of poems with an introductory essay and an essential bibliography.
The volume, part of "The Sicca Messenger" series on knowledge for and about autoimmune diseases, focuses on these pivotal and yet almost neglected minimal aggregations of cells and tissues of the human body so critical in Sjögren's and other autoimmune diseases. The author's drive motivates learning, research, advocacy. She shares lessons learned to improve quality of life with chronic conditions as well as ideas and suggestions to innovate or speed up medical research. Secretions does not offer medical advice and the author does not have any competing interests to declare.
