The transition to ICD-10-CM/PCS has expanded educational opportunities for educators and trainers who are taking on the responsibility of training coders on the new system. Coding education currently faces multiple challenges in the areas of how to train the new workforce, what might be the most efficient method of providing that training, how much retraining of the current workforce with ICD-9...

Bone disease with persistent reduced bone mineralisation is common in premature infants. To test the hypothesis that enhancement of nutritional intake after discharge from hospital improves bone mineralisation, 31 formula fed preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive standard or multinutrient enriched milk from the time of discharge. The calcium and phosphorus contents of the enriched m...

The FT-microwave spectrum of cyclobutylcarboxylic acid chloride, c-C4H7C(O)Cl, has been recorded and 153 transitions for the (35)Cl and (37)Cl isotopologues have been assigned for the gauche-equatorial (g-Eq) conformation. The ground state rotational constants were determined for (35)Cl [(37)Cl]: A = 4349.8429(25) [4322.0555(56)] MHz, B = 1414.8032(25) [1384.5058(25)] MHz, and C = 1148.2411(25)...

A 35-year-old woman presented with left upper quadrant abdominal pain for one year. There were no gastrointestinal symptoms. Ultrasonography showed a cystic lesion in the left renal area. A computed tomography scan revealed a 10.5 cm × 9 cm × 8.5 cm heterogeneous cystic mass, occupying the superior pole of the left kidney. There were areas of calcification in the lower portion of the cyst. The ...

The fine lunar surface material at the Surveyor 3 landing site has about 3 X 108-dyne/cm 2 cohesion, 35 ø angle of internal friction, 3 X 105-dyne/cm ' static bearing capacity. A small rock withstood a local pressure of 2 X 107 dynes/cm -ø. Soil strength and density increase significantly at depths of a few centimeters. Exposed surface has a considerably higher albedo than the material just bel...

A full term female newborn, weighing 2 Kg, was born with severe shortening of limbs with bilateral postaxial polydactyly. Chest was very narrow. There was polysyndactyly of right and left toe (Fig. 1) and anthropometry revealed a length of 40 cms, upper segment 28 cm, arm span 35 cm and chest circumference 21 cm. The neonate had respiratory distress since birth and died after 5 hrs. A clinical ...

Intracranial pressure was estimated by a new pneumatic applanation fontanometer in babies in intensive care. A close correlation with cerebrospinal fluid pressure was found on 35 separate occasions. In 12 control babies the mean (SD) fontanelle pressure was 5.2 (2.2) cm H2O, in eight with a hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy it was 12.6 (4.3) cm H2O, and in nine with post-haemorrhagic hydrocephal...

Captain Basile is a robot inspired from the cockroach and built to participate at the SAE Walking Machine Challenge 2004, an undergraduate competition of walking robots. The robot weighs 35 kg and is 86 cm long, 58 cm wide and 38 cm tall. Initially validated by the use of dynamic simulations, this pneumatic actuated hexapod is characterised by specialized legs, passive visco-elastic elements an...
