Scientific equipment has helped athletes gain a competitive edge in the Olympic winter games by improving their routine work-outs, and helps them achieve the level of athletic ability that they needed to.

The Olympic Winter Games have become so competitive that athletes are using science to gain whatever advantage they can, even if it’s just a few milliseconds. Speed suits use special polymers that are designed to be strong and elastic. These polymers are made by joining long chains of simple chemical units called monomers. Because they are elastic, speed suits cling to the skin, giving athletes higher speed. Skiers, for example, use skintight spandex suits designed to eliminate any extra drag. Helmets and skis are also scientifically designed to enhance performance. They use a light but strong material called Kevlar. Athletes try to reduce drag in many other ways, such as covering their hair and skin, fusing the seams in their clothing, and wearing special dimpled clothing.

Advantages of ICD-10-CM over ICD-9-CM is explained below.

  • It also provides better data for measuring and tracking health care utilization and the quality of patient care.

  • ICD-9 codes have limited data about the patient's medical conditions and hospital inpatient procedures. ICD-9 codes use outdated and obsolete terms and are not consistent with current medical practices.
  • The final rule for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Administrative Simplification to Medical Data Code Set Standards to adopt ICD-10-CM was published on January 16, 2009. ... Physicians created the ICD-10-CM terminology, whereas ICD-9-CM used the coding terminology.
  • ICD-10 emphasis on modern technology devices being used for various procedures, while ICD-9 codes are unable to reflect the use of modern day equipment. Hence, the basic structural difference is that ICD-9 is a 3-5 character numeric code while the ICD-10 is a 3-7 character alphanumeric code.
  • International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), for medical coding and reporting in the United States.ICD-9 stands for International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision. Coding is a universal or standard system used for the purpose of identifying diseases. These codes have three, four or five digits
