					  <description><![CDATA[Electrolyte imbalances within the body can occur in response to many factors.

					  <description><![CDATA[Many of the malpractice suites against doctors and nurses have to do with medication errors.  Prescribing is the first point in the drug administration process at which drug error can arise.  Hospitals invest millions of dollars in training nurses and doctors to help prevent sentinel events from occurring.  <BR>
<BR>
In looking at how medication errors arise, it is first necessary to look at the steps that are followed to prescribe a medication.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Patients are often prescribed medications for different diagnoses that they may have.  Having multiple diagnoses and or aliments is not uncommon.  However, in this day and age of specialization, patients are required to see a different doctor for each diagnosis.  This is not only time consuming for the patient, it is also very expensive.  <BR>

Most specialists charge more than general practitioners.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Alternative medication can be defined as those compounds that are intended for use in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of disease but are not approved or recognized as medication by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

					  <description><![CDATA[It's always amazing to learn what kinds of things passed as medicine before - and even during - the birth of modern science. In colonial times, for example, American medicine used such "cures" as the moss from a dead man's skull - thankfully, though, the moss was applied, not to the wound, but to the weapon that caused it. And as recently as the beginning of the twentieth century, we have evidence of alcohol being prescribed to reduce asthma attacks.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In Woody Allen's classic comedy Sleeper, the main character - played by Woody Allen himself, of course - wakes up in a twenty-third century where everything bad is good for you. Steak, ice cream and beer are the ultimate in health food, and good-tasting indulgences are widely agreed to have medicinal value. <BR>
<BR>
But you don't need to go far into the future to enjoy such a world.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Along with emotional issues such as mood swings and the urge to hibernate, the dark winter months also bring changes in the look and feel of an individual's skin due to the wind and coldness of the late fall and winter months.<BR>
<BR>
Cold weather can wreak havoc on a person's skin, including dry chapped lips, wind-burned cheeks and shedding skin from exposure to different temperatures.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Cigars are part of the world of music - or vice versa. After all, a lot of great pop and jazz music has been created by people who cut their teeth playing in ultra-smoky bars, and Cuban folk music features an entire tradition of songs about cigars. Such musicians as Miles Davis and, more recently, Arturo Sandoval have smoked cigars, and legendary cigar maker and connoisseur Avo Uzevian is, in his turn, a jazz pianist.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Photo albums can bring a tear to your eye and family videos can stir up deep emotions - yes, because you may be remembering the good times of the past but also because you may be "mourning" the difference in your appearance today compared to when you were in your prime.  Who among us hasn't looked at a picture taken just five or six years previously and wondered how and why we have changed so noticeably?<BR>
<BR>
More often than a receding hairline or a small change in weight, we're subconsciously noticing changes in our skin.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[When patients and visitors enter the Van Elslander Pavilion at St. John Hospital & Medical Center (SJH&MC), they are greeted by warm reception and waiting areas. Above, natural light floods through the three-story atrium windows.
