		<description><![CDATA[Warm greetings from the United States! First let me say that I’m honoured to author a guest editorial in the British Journal of Nursing. When Ian Peate extended this kind invitation, I immediately considered what subject matter would be relevant to a UK nursing audience.

		<description><![CDATA[The recent West Nile Virus outbreak represents the highest number of cases ever recorded to date since 1999, the year the disease was first detected in the United States. West Nile Virus continues to be active in the Delaware region with multiple confirmed cases here and in surrounding states. While most people infected by the West Nile Virus experience mild symptoms or none at all, a few can experience severe symptoms that can lead to death. Marci Drees, M.D., Christiana Care’s hospital epidemiologist and infection prevention officer, is reminding people that there are steps they can do to avoid West... <a href="http://news.christianacare.org/2012/08/protect-yourself-from-west-nile-virus" class="readmore">read more</a> &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new drug that helps the heart contract more easily shows promise for people with stable systolic heart failure, according to an international study that included Christiana Care. The results of trials involving omecamtiv mercarbil show the drug improves cardiac function by safely triggering a protein that aids in heart-muscle contraction, according to an article published in the Aug. 20 issue of The Lancet, the prestigious British medical journal. Mitchell Saltzberg, M.D., medical director of the Heart Failure Program at Christiana Care’s Center for Heart &#38; Vascular Health, is an author. Systolic dysfunction of the heart is due to poor... <a href="http://news.christianacare.org/2011/10/christiana-care-plays-key-role-in-heart-failure-trial" class="readmore">read more</a> &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few life-threatening conditions for women that are particularly responsive to screening and treatment in order to prevent death or long term disability. Osteoporosis screening is a rare exception. Along with pap smears, lipid screening, mammography and colonoscopy, appropriate use of dual x-ray absorptiometry—“DEXA,” or bone density scan—can help confirm the diagnosis of low bone mass or osteoporosis and can even help predict women’s risk for fracture during her next 10 years of life. This information is important because 80 percent of all osteoporosis fractures occur in women. We now recognize that women’s bones are smaller than those of... <a href="http://news.christianacare.org/2011/09/bone-density-scans-for-women-can-save-lives" class="readmore">read more</a> &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common reason women see their doctors. Abnormal bleeding can occur at any age of life and has many causes; some are easily treated, while others are more serious. Women should consult with their health care providers if ever they have bleeding concerns. The first step in diagnosing abnormal bleeding is to recognize normal and abnormal menstrual patterns for women in their reproductive years. Normal menstrual cycles usually start every 21 to 35 days; that is, a woman gets one period every three to five weeks. Bleeding that is more or less frequent than this is... <a href="http://news.christianacare.org/2011/09/diagnosing-and-evaluating-abnormal-uterine-bleeding" class="readmore">read more</a> &#187;]]></description>
