The code is 11644 and 12052-51.

<h3>What are lesions?</h3>

An aberrant region of tissue inside or outside the body that could expand or alter in appearance, and which might or might not be malignant.

It is possible for lesions to have sources other than underlying diseases. Birthmarks, bug bites, and scars are a few examples.

Cancerous malignant tumors exist (ie, they invade other sites). They spread through the lymphatic or blood systems to distant locations. We refer to this spreading as metastasis. Although the metastatic disease can spread to any part of the body, it most frequently affects the liver, lungs, brain, and bones.

11644 (Excision, malignant lesion including margins, face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips; excised diameter 3.1 to 4.0 cm),

12052-51 (Intermediate repair; 2.5 cm or less; face, ears, eyes, nose, lips, and/or mucous membranes).

51 modifier is for numerous processes

Dahasolnce [82]
<span>The salmon is among the most revered of coastal animals, for its cultural and spiritual importance to First Nations, its world-famous tasty flesh, and its role in the historical economy of BC. The most common salmon in our local waters are Chum and Coho. All Pacific salmon species are anadromous, meaning they spend most of their life in the ocean but migrate to fresh water to breed. Consequently they interact with several different ecosystems, and play important roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine food webs.</span>

Jonas Salk was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering a way to vaccinate against
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Jonas Salk was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering a way to vaccinate against  polio in the United States in the 1950's. This allowed millions of school-age children to  avoid crippling disease, and to swim during summer again, as polio was often spread in public swimming areas before.

The statement that best describes how the polio vaccine works is:

It triggers the immune system to produce antobodies to fight the disease-causing agent.

Explanation:

There are two main reasons for this answer. The first one is that every vaccine is aimed to introduce a controlled amount of antigenes to be accepted by the organism. These antigens are made after some studies were conducted in a lab and were obtained from substances that the human body can accept to train the immune system to develop an effective defense for the virus or bacteria on the matter. In our case, the polio vaccine works the same way and allowed to save many lives.
