What does a right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 C6 causing focal complete effacement of right paramedian subarachnoid space and right side cord deformity mean and how serious is it?
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
What to MRI results mean if they say C5 C6 moderate central disk protrusion is present This causes complete effacement of the anterior thecal sac but no cord compression There are also mild posterior?
c5-c6 is the location of the disks in question. central means the 'middle' and protrusion means that there is some 'bulging'. effacement means 'showing' or 'opening' and anterior means the 'front'. posteriormeans the 'back'. this doesn't give you a diagnosis or complete answer to your question because the MD that ordered your mri should be the one answering your questions. hopefully, however, you have been given a little more knowlege of the 'lingo' to make your conversation with him/her a little less daunting and a little clearer. good luck and give your MD a call!
What is complete effacement of the thecal sac?
Complete effacement of the thecal sac refers to a condition where the space surrounding the spinal cord (thecal sac) is compressed or narrowed to the point where it is no longer visible on imaging studies such as MRI. This can be due to disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities, and may result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or extremities. Treatment may involve conservative measures like physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.

Rocks can fold and bend under intense heat and pressure?
Rocks will fold when the heat and pressure are significant enough to allow "plastic or ductile deformation" to occur, giving rise to folds or bends. Before this point, deformation is "brittle", and is associated with faulting/cracking of the rock. Rocks rarely melt in the lithosphere. Melting only occurs when temperatures are extremely high (say at a contact zone with an igneous intrusion) or if water is added, say in a subduction zone. Even when rocks do melt, complete melting almost never occurs, and only a small fraction of the bulk rock will melt. This is because reactions between heated minerals result in the formation of new minerals which are stable at higher temperature or pressure.
At what age should your child visit an orthodontist or a pediodontist for treatment of a complete upper anterior cross bite?
Usually your primary dentist will recommend the orthodontist about the time that the child's bones are nearing the end of their growth. If you want a smooth transition to an orthodontist and a dentist who is specifically geared to young ones, find a pediadontist. They do both and help you understand and plan as your child grows.
