Volumes 1 and 2 are discussed at length including discussion of the coding tables in Volume 2. Participants will learn the importance of coding to the "highest level of specificity" using practical examples and gain an understanding of the ICD-9 footnotes, symbols, instructional notes and conventions. Volume 3 is briefly discussed for Part A provi...
Make every effort to code to the highest level of specificity. Many office staff check th. alphabetical index (Volume 2) of the ICD-9 book for the patient's condition but do not cross-reference to the list of diseases (Volume 1) for the most specific code. This is considered a truncate...
professionalism, newest technology, heightened security measures, and up-to-date education to meet their criteria. Our goals include efficiency and accuracy of code assignments to the highest level of specificity to meet the standards of coding guidelines and be in compliance with all regulatory ...
By applying graph clustering algorithms to the connectome, we reveal that this naively disorganized structure hides a strongly modular hierarchical organization. At the highest level, we find two anatomically defined modules that are specialized for different behaviors: one for eye movements and the ...
This paper reports a loss of up to 1.2 dB, especially for the highest bit rates, between the pure encoder and decoder rate control solutions. An interesting improvement on decoder rate control without completely giving up on the feedback channel is hybrid rate control. For this case, rate ...
However, because the highest density of breakpoints lies between two long inverted repeats, the structural variants may have been induced by DNA secondary structure. The second SRB contains recurrent microdeletions (<50 kb) involving the 5′ end of BRD4 in ovarian (eight cases, P < 10−7) ...
Arrayed CRISPR libraries extend the scope of gene-perturbation screens to non-selectable cell phenotypes. However, library generation requires assembling thousands of vectors expressing single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs). Here, by leveraging massively parallel plasmid-cloning methodology, we show that arrayed libr...
Genetic studies have associated thousands of enhancers with breast cancer (BC). However, the vast majority have not been functionally characterized. Thus, it remains unclear how BC-associated enhancers contribute to cancer. Here, we perform single-cell C
and specificity is ensured by no labelling of vagal motor neurons (Extended Data Fig.1e–w). VSNs that project to adjoining regions between two organs, such as the oesophageal and pyloric sphincters, can be accurately identified with UPBs from both organs as AAVrg slightly diffuses to adjac...
Mito-SEPs are small open reading frame-encoded peptides that localize to the mitochondria to regulate metabolism. Motivated by an intriguing negative association between mito-SEPs and inflammation, here we screen for mito-SEPs that modify inflammatory outcomes and report a mito-SEP named “Modulator...
