Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It results in itchiness, inflammation, and dryness of the skin.
Chart review was conducted for 43 278 random patients that had associated ICD-9 codes of 691.8 or 692.9, 51,9, and 253 with 691.8 and 692.9. From the data analyzed it was found that there was a vast overlap: 34.3% had ≥1 incident of 691.8 and 692.9 and 25.6% had numerous incidents of both codes. Among patients with ≥1 incident of 691.8, 29.9% and 30.8% met the Hanifin & Rajka and United Kingdom Working Party criteria, respectively. Similarly, among patients with ≥1 occurrence of 692.9, 33.7% and 32.2% met the Hanifin & Rajka and United Kingdom Working Party criteria. Increased position predictive value was associated with concomitant diagnoses of asthma, food allergy, hay fever, and increased disease severity.

Answer:
Since this question has multiple subquestions in it, I will give you the answer to them as follows:
1. Which neuron would activate a muscle? They are called multipolar neurons, they are found mostly originating from the CNS itself and they are multipolar because when a neuron stimulates a muscle, one signal from just one terminal is not enough; it requires the stimulation from several neurnal terminals.
2. Which neuron would be found in the retina of the eye? A bipolar neuron. This is because these neurons will fulfill a double function: to activate the muscles of the retina, and also they will convey messages taken by the sense of sight, towards the brain for interpretation and integration.
3. Which neuron is a sensory neuron found in a reflex arc? The answer again is a unipolar neuron. These neurons will not reach the brain itself, but rather the reflex arc site on the spinal cord. Their task is to relay sensations from the site that has been stimulated to the spinal cord and from there to the affected place, with the correct response.
4. Which neuron is never myelinated? Again the answer is the bipolar neurons found connecting the retina and the eyes. The reason is that these neurons are capable of relying fast messages to and from the brain, whereas in myelinated ones, messages go slower due to the myeling sheaths.
5. Which neuron is typically involved in the special senses of sight and smell? Once more the answer is the bipolar neurons that are most commonly found connecting the different organs of these two senses. Since these have such unique capabilities: relying information for integration and sensory and motor responses, their action potentials travel fast, and have a short distance to go.
The CPT for a new patient office consultation Medicare-compliant billing that was formerly reported with E/M 99242 ranges from 99201-99205
Explanation:
During this outpatient office visit, a detailed patient history and examination is done, counseling with other healthcare providers provided if needed, and medical decision making done as per the condition, all of which takes around 30 minutes. Depending upon the complexity of the patient’s presenting complaint or condition, the codes and modifiers are chosen for billing. For example, if the presenting complaint is of moderate severity, then the CPT code is 99203.
I will say GUE because that test is done to confirm the findings of other tests or add information to a diagnosis.
