How to Interpret Peak Shapes in a Chromatogram Kumar Jeetendra | February 24, 2024 The interpretation of peak shapes in a chromatogram is important for understanding separation and analysis of compounds. Here are some main concerns to think through: Peak Width: Peak width can tell us something about the separation effectiveness. Narrow peaks imply good resolution and efficient separation, while broad peaks indicate poor resolution and probable problems related …
Fibromyalgia and Sleep Disorders: What You Need to Know Kumar Jeetendra | February 27, 2024 Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that is characterized by general pain in muscles, fatigue, sleep disturbances, problems with memory and mood disorders. It is called as such because it comprises of various symptoms rather than one specific cause. Fibromyalgia and sleep disturbances are tied together; one can affect the other. This discussion will expound this …
Unveiling the Truth Behind Sleep Paralysis Demons Kumar Jeetendra | February 28, 2024 There are many accounts of sleep paralysis experiences that involve sleep paralysis demons often accompanied by hallucination. However, it is important to note that these “demons” are not real but rather hallucinations and vivid images that can happen during sleep paralysis episodes. This article will delve deeper into the truth about sleep paralysis demons: Hallucinations …
Best Practices for Coding Fibromyalgia in Compliance with ICD-10 Kumar Jeetendra | February 28, 2024 Relevant codes should be used when coding fibromyalgia under the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). Here are some pointers for ICD-10 fibromyalgia coding: Give the Correct ICD-10 Code: M79.7-Fibrositis: In ICD-10, this is the unique code for fibrositis. When a diagnosis of fibrositis is being recorded, use this code. Document Location and Severity: …
