A 20 year-old patient presented to the hospital with a history of bloody stools for three weeks' duration. the patient was prepp

ed for a sigmoidoscopy. the sigmoidoscope was passed without difficulty to about 40 cm. the entire mucosal lining was erythematosus. there was no friability of the overlying mucosa and no bleeding noted. no pseudo polyps were identified. biopsies were taken at about 30 cm; these were thought to be representative of the mucosa in general. the scope was retracted; no other abnormalities were seen. what cpt® and icd-10-cm codes are reported?

The answer is 45331, K92.1. CPT® code for a sigmoidoscopy with single or various biopsies is accounted for 45331. This is recorded under Sigmoidoscopy/Biopsy. Symptomatic sigmoidoscopy is constantly packaged with a surgical sigmoidoscopy when both are performed in a similar agent session. The ICD-10-CM code for bleeding stools is found in the Index to Diseases and Injuries under Blood/in/defecation or Hematochezia or Melena and coded K92.1. At the point when a patient comes in with a GI side effect and no conclusive analysis is reported for the indication.

What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?
vfiekz [6]
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

Describe how restriction enzymes and ligase enzymes are used to make the plasmids that are introduced to bacteria cells during t
balandron [24]

Answer:

DNA restriction enzymes cut the DNA molecule, while DNA ligases join the resulting DNA fragments

Explanation:

Transformation is a naturally occurring process by which bacteria incorporate exogenous genetic material from their surrounding environment. This process (transformation) is used for DNA cloning via plasmid vectors. In DNA cloning, transformation occurs after restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific sequences named palindromic sequences (i.e, sequences that can be read the same in opposite direction). Restriction enzymes can generate sticky-ends, where enzymes make staggered cuts in the two strands (e.g., <em>BamH</em>), or blunt ends, where the resulting strands are of the same length (e.g., <em>HaeIII</em>). In general, sticky-end enzymes are more useful because they generate a 3' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other, increasing the yield and specificity of ligation. During ligation, a DNA ligase is used to join both DNA strands by forming phosphodiester bonds in the plasmid. Following transformation, bacteria can be selected on antibiotic plates.

Why do you think are the reasons why only few seeds germinate​
Svetlanka [38]
The first reason is that Thats because the seeds will remain dormant until they have the resources they need for eg: some seeds are frozen in winter so that they wont germinate until they have enough resources in spring .
