Shell rot appears as black or dark green patches that have eaten away parts of a hermit crab's exoskeleton. It most often occurs on the legs, but may also affect claws and the body. It is unknown whether shell rot can affect humans, but it may spread between hermit crabs. There has not been a lot research conducted on shell rot, but it may affect other crustaceans such as lobsters. Hermit crabs can free themselves from shell rot by moulting.
In CPT 2008, the American Medical Association (AMA) published the total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) set of codes (58570-58573).
Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus (womb). This results in the inability to become pregnant. There are different types of surgeries, such as: Supracervical hysterectomyâremoval of the uterus only. Total hysterectomyâremoval of the uterus and cervix (the opening of the uterus leading to the vagina) Radical hysterectomyâremoval of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper part of the vagina, and the pelvic lymph nodes.
