As far as cardiology is concerned, the American Medical Association (AMA) has released four new Category I CPT codes to report cardiac CT (CCT) and Cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) exams.

For more of such cardiology and other CPT updates, you can get hold of the CPT book, which is a treasure trove of coding know how. But you’ll do well to remember that there are many a 2010 CPT code changes which will not make it to the printed form until the year 2011.

There is no stretch mark removal surgery per se. What is sometimes called stretch mark removal surgery is really abdominoplasty, or a “tummy tuck”. Unnecessary skin and fat are removed to make the abdominal muscles tighter. It’s not limited to post-pregnancy, but recently pregnant women are some of the most common seekers of this kind of surgery. If you’re one of these women, read on to find out what you should consider when deciding if this surgery is right for you.

Iron Deficiency

Iron is of great importance in human nutrition. The adult human body contains between 3-4 g of iron, of which 60-70 percent is present in the blood (Hb iron) as circulating iron, and the rest (1 to 1.5 g) as storage iron. Each gram of hemoglobin contains about 3.34 mg of iron.

There are two types of iron, haem-iron and non-haem iron. Haem iron is better absorbed than non-haem iron. Foods rich in haem-iron are liver, meat, poultry and fish.
