		<description><![CDATA[For more than 20 years the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) has provided leadership in major topics surrounding pressure ulcers, including standardization of the staging system and introducing useful additional classifications of Unstageable and Deep Tissue Injury. However, recent changes on their website show new nomenclature that, in my opinion, risks introducing confusion for caregivers and policy makers. It looks like NPUAP is adding <a href="http://www.shcny.com/pressure-ulcer-staging/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After two dozen years of living in New York City I have experienced how city life can wear down the spirit. The intense competition, the bustle of streets and subways, and the ever-spiraling expenses take a toll on many people. But there is always the promise of renewal, particularly in the spring when the weather turns fair and the flowers bloom.

When Megan McCutcheon, Managing Editor of The Gerontologist, asked me to contribute a cover photo to a special Baby Boomer issue, I knew right away whose picture I wanted to take.

		<description><![CDATA[I am writing this blog post while sitting in an al fresco restaurant in the area known as the Meatpacking District of Manhattan.  Twenty-five years ago I photographed this place, never imagining that it would transform into a glitzy international tourist destination. I moved into New York City in 1985 to study geriatrics at the Mount Sinai Medical Center.  Back then, the International Center for Photography (ICP) <a href="http://www.shcny.com/meatpacking-district-vintage-views/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>

Each day at dawn I went to the riverbanks, also called Ghats, and returned with hours of video.  I edited the best clips together to recreate the magic of the Ganga at dawn.  Benares, also known as Varanasi, is the holiest city <a href="http://www.shcny.com/dawn-on-the-ganges-river/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thing I love most about Manhattan is that it is endlessly photogenic.  This past weekend my wife and I went to Manhattan’s Chinatown to watch the New Year’s parade in celebration of the Year of the Dragon – one of the most revered years of the Chinese calendar. The Chinese zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, and calculated according to a lunar calendar. <a href="http://www.shcny.com/year-of-the-dragon-in-manhattans-chinatown/" class="continue">...Read More</a>]]></description>
