A patient presented with a right ankle fracture. after induction of general anesthesia, the right leg was elevated and draped in

the usual manner for surgery. a longitudinal incision was made parallel and posterior to the fibula. it was curved anteriorly to its distal end. the skin flap was developed and retracted anteriorly. the distal fibula fracture was then reduced and held with reduction forceps. a lag screw was inserted from anterior to posterior across the fracture. a 5-hole 1/3 tubular plate was then applied to the lateral contours of the fibula with cortical and cancellous bone screws. final radiographs showed restoration of the fibula. the wound was irrigated and closed with suture and staples on the skin. sterile dressing was applied followed by a posterior splint. what cpt® code is reported?

The patient has right ankle fracture with distal fibular fracture. The procedure that was done is open reduction with internal fixation of the right ankle fracture as well as the distal fibular fracture. The CPT code under fracture or dislocation procedures on the leg (tibia and fibula) and ankle joint is CPT 27792.

Answer:

27792-RT

Explanation:

A patient presented with a right ankle fracture. after induction of general anesthesia, the right leg was elevated and draped in the usual manner for surgery. a longitudinal incision was made parallel and posterior to the fibula. it was curved anteriorly to its distal end. the skin flap was developed and retracted anteriorly. the distal fibula fracture was then reduced and held with reduction forceps. a lag screw was inserted from anterior to posterior across the fracture. a 5-hole 1/3 tubular plate was then applied to the lateral contours of the fibula with cortical and cancellous bone screws. final radiographs showed restoration of the fibula. the wound was irrigated and closed with suture and staples on the skin. sterile dressing was applied followed by a posterior splint. what cpt® code is reported?

if the patient has fraction in the right fibula the , the right medical procedure to treat this condition can be found in the code index 27792-RT. it deals with fibula/open treatment/fraction.

A purple flower with an unknown genotype is crossed with a white flower. Determine the genotype of the purple flower if purple (
Furkat [3]
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.

Using the Gizmo, figure out what bears prefer to eat most. Write your results and reasoning in the space below.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Alright, sure thing.

Explanation:

Grizzly bears, like black bears, eat a lot of vegetation, but they also eat more meat than their cousins. Grizzly bears hunt deer, elk, moose, and bison regularly, along with fish like salmon and trout. When meat is not available, they prefer to eat wild beans, nuts, grass, and tubers (a thickened underground part of a stem).

If two orange heliodors have a child, what is the probability their child would be red?
Stels [109]

Answer:

25% or 1/4

Explanation:

The gene for colour in Heliodors is controlled by two contrasting alleles that codes for Red (R) and Yellow (Y) colours. However, these two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, which is a phenomenon whereby a combination of both alleles gives rise to a third intermediate phenotype that is a blending of the other two parental phenotypes. In this case, both colours gives rise to a heterozygous Orange coloration (RY) in Heliodors.

However, if two orange Heliodors (RY) are crossed, four possible offsprings will be produced with the genotypes: RR, RY, RY, YY. This shows a phenotypic ratio of 1 red: 2orange: 1yellow. Hence, the probability of having a child with red coloration is 1 out of 4 possible offsprings i.e. 1/4.

Expressing this in percentage, we have 1/4 × 100 = 25%.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The term secretion refers to the cell that releases a substance into the extracellular space.

Explanation:

When a cell or organ or gland produce and secretes substance in to extracellular space,this biochemical process is called as secretion.

The secretory products may be hormone, enzymes etc.

This process facilitates the movement of material from one place to another place.

For example, Pituitary gland produce and release prolactin hormone that induces breast cells to produce lactation during sucking process done by baby.

Pituitary gland also secrete different hormones that acts on different glands like adrenal, testes, ovary, thyroid gland etc that in turn produce different hormones like adrenaline,testosterone,estrogen,progesterone, TSH,T3, hormone etc.
