How is a annular tear repaired?

The intervertebral disc that sits between two vertebrae contains a highly pressurized center called the nucleus pulposus. This material is held in place by a strong ligamentous material called the annulus fibrosis. As long as the integrity of the annulus is in order, no nuclear material can escape from the nucleus pulposus. However, since the posterior or outer third of the annulus is filled with nerve fiber of the sinu-vertebral nerve, when it comes into contact with nuclear material, a patient feels pain.

An annular disc tear is when the substance of the annulus fibrosus "rips" or "tears," allowing the highly pressurized and nucleus pulposus to escape outward toward the outer third of the disc.

Can you Eat pasta after gastric bypass surgery?

Eating pasta after gastric bypass would be a personal choice and while my doctor let me know that eating egg noodles was acceptable, I've been told by others they were told whole wheat or regular was okay and some were told not to consume it at all.

Bearing all of that in mind, if and when you eat pasta after surgery, you should watch the portion size and probably measure it, using a measuring cup. As well, you should be eating your higher protein foods first, so if you do have chicken or meatballs etc, you should begin eating that first, with the small amount of pasta afterward.

If you start eating larger portions of normal pasta, especially without the addition of any other protein, you're defeating your own purpose of having had the surgery.

Why shouldn't teenagers get cosmetic surgery?

Teenagers, as anyone else, can benefit from reconstructive plastic surgery in case of mutilation or deformities. However, if it is for beauty reasons only, they should wait until their bodies are fully developed.

This has a simple reason: until the body is fully developed (at about 23 years old), the body features continue to change. You do not stop any part of the body from changing with plastic surgery and therefore you will not get a final result from it. Many plastic surgeries done on teenagers need to be retouched or fully done again at a later age.

For example a car accident left a teen scared or maimed in a manner that plastic surgery could possibly remedy, or a 17 year old felt out of place because her nose was abnormally large and she had to deal with constant ridicule.
