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.
Tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon) may cause pain and stiffness in the area behind or beneath the heel, such as the Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle. Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic disease, which means symptoms may not be limited to the joints. People with the condition also may have fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Eye inflammation (redness and pain) occurs in some people with spondylitis.
