Caldesmon 1 is a gene that is located on Chromosome 7: 134.74 – 134.97 Mb which encodes a calmodulin binding protein. (15) The products of CALD1 such as Calmodulin- and actin-binding proteins play an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. (16) CALD1 inhibits ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle like calponin. Caldesmon (CaD) is an actin-linked regulatory protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.
The ICD-10 and CPT codes are required to be submitted because the ICD-10 codes represent all diagnosis and the CPT codes represent all procedures performed.

Also, it is the fibrous tissue which covers and surrounds skeletal muscles. The Epimysium carries on past the end of bones in order to create muscle tendons. Perimysium surrounds a bundle of muscle fibres, it is a casing of connective tissue.
Initially, facilities voluntarily used HCPCS codes, but with the implementation of HIPAA in 1996, facilities began to report HCPCS for transaction codes (Webb, 2012). CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) is a medical code set that is used to report medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services to entities such as physicians, health insurance companies and accreditation organizations (Rouse, 2015).

The purpose of the HIPAA transactions and code set standards is to simplify the processes and decrease the costs associated with payment for health care services. The transactions and code set standards apply to patient-identifiable health information transmitted electronically. Physician practices will continue to be able to submit paper claims. When the regulations take effect in October 2002, standard formats and code sets will take the place of any payer-specific or location-specific formats or requirements. ICD-9-CM Volume 1 and 2: Diagnosis Coding - ICD-9-CM is used to code and classify morbidity data from the inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices, and most National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) surveys.
The CCC community felt motivated to respond in Christian charity to the conditions represented by recent events in Syria, and to make plans for entering into a sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family. At the time of our last PC meeting, two Cathedral initiatives were involved with early stages of sponsorship planning, one through the Cathedral Justice Group, and the other, Vancouver Acts. At that time, PC appraised plans for entering into a refugee sponsorship, and created a sub-committee to work alongside these two efforts, to allow communication, and to offer support and assistance. The Refugee Sub-Committee organized to meet its purpose over the last month. Today, PC is invited to review its actions, and assess current recommended strategies for co-sponsoring a Syrian refugee family.
