Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction is characterized by elevated relaxation pressure in combination with intact or weak peristalsis and can be diagnosed using high-resolution manometry (HRM) (1,2). Patients without mechanical obstruction are considered to have primary EGJ outflow obstruction.
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes, becoming more like the lining of the small intestine rather than the esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is more common in people who have had GERD for a long period of time or who developed it at a young age.
Esophageal motility refers to contractions occurring in the esophagus, which propel the food bolus forward toward the stomach. When contractions in the esophagus become irregular, unsynchronized or absent, the patient is said to have esophageal dysmotility.
Reflux esophagitis is an esophageal mucosal injury that occurs secondary to retrograde flux of gastric contents into the esophagus. Clinically, this is referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Typically, the reflux disease involves the distal 8-10 cm of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction.
Diffuse spasms of the body of the esophagus cause non-peritalsis and food gets stuck in the mid-esophagus, causing dysphagia. Esophageal dyskinesia is considered a common cause for unexplained chest pain. Patients develop chest pain due to spasmodic contractions of the esophagus as well as due to esophageal distension.
Background: Subtle irregularity and short tongues of columnar appearing mucosa (CAM) at the Z-line are frequently observed during EGD. An irregular Z-line was defined as any discrete tongue or exaggerated waviness of the Z-line which extended proximally less than 1 cm.
A Schatzki ring is a circular band of mucosal tissue that can form at the end of the food pipe closest to the stomach. The ring of tissue causes the food pipe, or esophagus, to narrow. When a ring forms, a person may have no symptoms. Or, they may have difficulty swallowing, which the medical community calls dysphagia.
W88.8XXD is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of exposure to other ionizing radiation, subsequent encounter. The code W88.8XXD is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Cicatricial alopecia due to ionizing radiation. Dementia following injury caused by exposure to ionizing radiation. Dermatitis as late effect of radiation. Dermatitis as late effect of radiation. Dermatitis as late effect of radiation. Dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to radiation.
W88.8XXD is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
Radiation can occur naturally or be man-made. There are two types: Non-ionizing radiation, which includes radio waves, cell phones, microwaves, infrared radiation and visible light. Ionizing radiation, which includes ultraviolet radiation, radon, x-rays, and gamma rays.
During a radiation emergency, get inside a building to take shelter. Stay inside, with all of the windows and doors shut. Stay tuned to and follow the advice of emergency responders and officials.
Infants, children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems are more vulnerable to health effects than healthy adults. Being exposed to a lot of radiation over a short period of time, such as from a radiation emergency, can cause skin burns.
But too much radiation can damage tissues by changing cell structure and damaging DNA. This can cause serious health problems, including cancer. The amount of damage that exposure to radiation can cause depends on several factors, including. The type of radiation.
