The American public consumes almost 50 billion hamburgers per year, which translates to three burgers per week for every man, woman and child. While some burgers are prepared from raw ground beef, others are cooked from frozen patties. Before you place frozen mouth-watering patties on the grill to sizzle, take the time to properly defrost the meat. Once thawed, the beef patties will cook more evenly, resulting in juicier, better-tasting burgers.
OVERVIEW OF ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS AND SPONDYLOARTHRITIS. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pain in the back, neck, and sometimes hips and heels. The back and neck are made up of a column of individual bones known as vertebrae.
The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis are related to inflammation of the spine, joints, and other organs. Fatigue is a common symptom associated with active inflammation. Inflammation of the spine causes pain and stiffness in the low back, upper buttock area, neck, and the remainder of the spine.ther areas of the body affected by ankylosing spondylitis include the eyes, heart, and kidneys. Patients with ankylosing spondylitis can develop inflammation of the iris (iritis), the colored portion of the eye. Iritis is characterized by redness and pain in the eye, especially when looking at bright lights.
