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.
Annular Tear Causes. Any considerable trauma to a spinal disc can compromise the structural integrity of the annulus fibrosus. This is especially true for targeted and focused damage to a small spinal region, typical in cases of sports injury or car accidents. Sometimes, trauma might cause a disc to simply bulge and no annular hole is enacted.
