Acute hepatitis B is the period of illness that occurs during the first one to four months after acquiring the virus. Only 30% to 50% of adults develop significant symptoms during acute infection. Early symptoms may be non-specific, including fever, a flu-like illness, and joint pains. Symptoms of acute hepatitis may include: 1  fatigue, 2  loss of appetite, 3  nausea, 4  jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and.  pain in the upper right abdomen (due to the inflamed liver).
What is a Disc Tear? A disc or annular-tear (or fissure) represents a degenerative or traumatic change in an interveterbral disc1. These tears involve separations or breaks in the fibers comprising the annulus fibrosus, or the fibrous outer-most portion of an intervertebral disc.
Although annular calcification is associated with mitral regurgitation, this is usually trivial and asymptomatic. Calcification of the annulus can however impede AV nodal conduction and therefore lead to varying degrees of heart block.ompared to aortic valve calcification, calcification of the mitral annulus is not significantly associated with stenosis of the valve and it is no longer felt to represent an independent risk factor for stroke 1.
