A talk about the future of cardiology (also medicine in general) given on the 28th april 2014 in the Medical University of Silesia in Poland to doctors and students. It shows the trends of medicine and medical technology development with the biggest potential.
Significant unprotected left main (LM) coronary artery disease is present in <10% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. In autopsy research, a mean LM length of 10.8 mm ± 5.2 mm (range 2–23 mm), mean LM diameter 4.9 mm ± 0.8 mm and mean angle between the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) of 86.7° ± 28.8° has been described. This angle value positively correlated with LM length.2 Further studies showed that long LM developed stenoses more frequently near the distal bifurcation compared to near the ostium (77% versus 18%).7 It is also worth emphasising that LM bifurcation disease is rarely focal and that both sides of the carina are almost never disease-free. Furthermore, continuous plaque from the LM into the proximal LAD artery has been reported in 90% of cases.8 Summarised below are the most crucial LM peculiarities (in comparison with non-LM bifurcations), which should be taken into consideration when distal LM stenosis PCI is planned:
A sample of my pitch-deck writing and related market research for a revolutionary and next-generation micro cardiovascular stent, which incorporates nanotechnology, MEMS, computer controlled surgery algorithms, and MRI. I conducted this work for a client, an inventor and scientist who gave me permission to make this sample public.
Angioplasty uses imaging guidance to insert a balloon-tipped catheter into a narrow or blocked blood vessel where the balloon is inflated to open the vessel and improve blood flow. It may be done with vascular stenting – the placement of a small wire mesh tube within the blood vessel to help keep it open. The procedure is much less invasive than other surgical interventions and usually does not require general anesthesia.

This issue discusses the code structure for the ICD-10 PCS Medical and Surgical Section. It also differentiates between a valid and an invalid PCS code.
Codes 518.81 (ICD-9 CM) and J96.00-.02 (ICD-10 CM) may be assigned as the principal diagnosis when it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission to the hospital and if the selection is supported by the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List for both nomenclatures.
The January 2015 issue of the CCHIS Newsletter "Coding Yesterday's Nomenclature Today" discusses Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection coding guidelines in both ICD-9 CM and ICD-10 CM.
Sometimes the difficulty in medical coding can be traced back to the lack of understanding of what is taking place during the encounter. For instance, knowing the difference between the types ostomies can assist the coder in assigning both the correct diagnosis codes and the procedural codes. This slideshare is an effort to illustrate the coding for some of the more common ostomies. There are certainly others to consider.
. In ICD-9 CM codes can be found in Chapter 11 Complications of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium (630-679). Any conditions which occur during or affect the pregnancy and puerperium periods MUST be preceded by a code from this chapter with the use of additional codes from other chapters to further described the condition when needed. ICD-10 CM codes can be found in Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium (O00-O9A).
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defines a debridement as “the removal of infected, contaminated, damaged, devitalized, necrotic, or foreign tissue from a wound (CMS.gov, 2014). Debridement may include the following: skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle, bone and the removal of foreign material (CMS.gov, 2014).
Atherosclerosis of the extremities (Monckeberg’s Sclerosis) is a peripheral vascular disease (PVD) that occurs in the arteries of extremities; which is why it is sometimes referred to as peripheral artery disease (PAD). The coder however, must have the physician’s documentation indicating the PAD is due to atherosclerosis to ensure correct code assignment.
The presumption behind spaced repetition is simple. When we first learn a fact, the memory of it is fresh, but subject to change or it simply disappears. Each time we encounter that fact again, however, the memory becomes a more established part of our knowledge, especially if the encounters are spread out over time. In other words, exposing your mind to that same fact multiple times over weeks or months fixes it firmly in your brain.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
1. Your arteries carry life-sustaining oxygen and nutrients
along with blood cells and platelets throughout the body. On
occasion plaque buildup forms in these arteries. Plaque is a
substance made up of cholesterol, fatty deposits, calcium and
other materials in the body. To rid the artery of the plaque an
angioplasty which may include stent placement is sometimes
required. This means a balloon with a stent wrapped around it is
inflated to push the plaque back against the artery wall.
In ICD-9 PCS adjunct codes describing the number of stents
inserted and the number of vessels treated are needed to capture
the complete procedure. The adjunct codes are documented in
addition to the primary angioplasty code for coding accuracy.
In ICD-10 PCS the rules are just the opposite. Every ICD-10
PCS code is a complete code which does not require an additional
code. In other words, adjunct codes are not used. A separate
ICD-10 PCS code must be used for each vessel treated and for each
type of stent (drug-eluting, non-drug eluting or radioactive).

ICD-9 CM & ICD-10 CM
CODING NEWSLETTER FOR HEALTHCARE
CODING PROFESSIONALS
2. Page 2 Coding Yesterday’s Nomenclature Today
72-year-old man with an unruptured aneurysm in the right
middle cerebral artery and total occlusion of the left vertebral
artery is referred for endovascular treatment of this high-grade
(93% diameter, 4-5 mm length) eccentric stenosis. The patient
underwent cerebral angioplasty and stenting (CAS) under local
anesthesia. A 6F guiding catheter with 0.064-inch inner diameter
was selectively placed via a femoral arterial route into the right
vertebral artery. Low-molecular-weight dextran (1000 mL per day)
was started 1 hour before CAS and continued until the next day.
Heparin (10,000 U) was administered intravenously to avoid
thrombus formation during the procedure, and isosorbide dinitrate
(2.5 mg) was injected into the right vertebral artery through a
guiding catheter to prevent balloon catheter-induced vasospasm. A
0.014-inch guidewire was navigated across the stenosis. The very
flexible balloon catheter with a 2.5-mm diameter and 20-mm
length was guided over the wire and then inflated twice at 6 atm
for 60 seconds to predilate the lesion. The balloon catheter was
replaced by the balloon-expandable coronary stent (gfx) with a
3.0-mm diameter and 12-mm length with the 0.014-inch 300-cm
exchange guidewire. The stent was deployed at 9 atm for 15
seconds. The lesion was sufficiently dilated very easily and the
stenosis was reduced from 93% to 0%. No complications occurred
during or after the procedure, which was finished within 60
minutes. ONLY PROCEDURE CODES WILL BE CODED IN THIS CASE.
ICD-9 PCS: 00.62; 00.65; 00.40; 00.45
ICD-10 PCS: 037G3DZ
In ICD-9, 00.62 represents the angioplasty of intracranial
vessel (intracranial portion of vertebral artery) which can be found
in the alphabetical index by going to the terms “angioplasty,
intracranial.” The coder is further instructed in the Tabular List to
code also any percutaneous intracranial stent insertion (00.65,
Percutaneous Insertion of Intracranial Vascular Stent(s)); the
number of vessels treated (00.40, Procedure on Singe Vessel); and
the number of stents inserted (00.45, Insertion of One Vascular
Stent).
In ICD-10, there is one code which will capture the complete
procedure, 037G3DZ. It can be found by going to the PCS Tables:
Medical & Surgical (0); Upper Arteries (3); Dilation (7) and then
Intracranial Artery (G) (Vertebral Artery is Intracranial in this
case); Percutaneous (3); Intraluminal Device (D); No Qualifier (Z).
