Answer: If this is to measure the change in heart rate, I’ve chosen laying down vs standing
Explanation:
Answer:
The processing power of the mammalian brain is derived from the tremendous interconnectivity of its neurons. An individual neuron can have several thousand synaptic connections. While these associations yield computational power, it is the modification of these synapses that gives rise to the brain's capacity to learn, remember and even recover function after injury. Inter-connectivity and plasticity come at the price of increased complexity as small groups of synapses are strengthened and weakened independently of one another (Fig. 1). When one considers that new protein synthesis is required for the long-term maintenance of these changes, the delivery of new proteins to the synapses where they are needed poses an interesting problem (Fig. 1). Traditionally, it has been thought that the new proteins are synthesized in the cell body of the neuron and then shipped to where they are needed. Delivering proteins from the cell body to the modified synapses, but not the unmodified ones, is a difficult task. Recent studies suggest a simpler solution: dendrites themselves are capable of synthesizing proteins. Thus, proteins could be produced locally, at or near the synapses where they are needed. This is an elegant way to achieve the synapse specific delivery of newly synthesized proteins.

Answer:
The CPT code for second trimester obstetrical ultrasound with a fetal anatomical evaluation to obtain fetal heartbeat and fetus’s position is CPT code 76811.
Explanation:
According to the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the CPT code 76811 ultrasound is a pregnant uterus real-time ultrasound complete with image documentation performed to diagnose fetal anomalies. It is done during the second trimester of pregnancy with various indications like twin, triplet, or quadruplet pregnancy; suspected fetal any genetic or anatomic anomalies; maternal gestational diabetes, obesity etc. Fetal anatomical structures like abdomen, chest (heart), extremities, head, face and neck, spine, and position of the fetus are examined under this ultrasound. This ultrasound provides fetal 4-chamber heart view with heart activities to identify any fetal or congenital heart defects
