A74 year-old male presented with ankle avascular necrosis of the talus with collapse of the body. after general anesthesia and sterile prep, the patient was placed prone. a lateral incision was made. the fibula was dissected and approximately 6 cm of the fibula was removed for the autograft. there were a lot of free fragments of bone around the subtalar joint and the talus itself. the bone fragments were removed and a large defect consistent with avascular necrosis of the body of the talus was noted. an egg-shaped burr was introduced and the articulating cartilage of the ankle joint was excised and debrided. the subtalar joint was approached and resection of the articulating surface of the subtalar joint was completed. bone graft from the fibula was prepared on the back table. we made two large blocks to fill the defect in the talus and then additional small fragments of cortical cancellous bone to fill in smaller defects around the talus and ankle. fixation was performed in the calcaneocuboid. the talar screw was inserted, followed by fixation of the talonavicular, tibiotalar and additional compression. the ankle screws were inserted proximally and the wound was irrigated and closed in layers. what cpt® codes are reported?

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
