In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To ready the oven for baking the fries, set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and allow it to fully heat. Next, pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of canola oil to a large sheet pan or baking dish and spread it around to grease it. You can substitute olive or vegetable oil for the canola if you prefer. The fries require 2 large avocados that have been pitted, peeled, and cut into ½-inch (13-mm) slices. Sprinkle the juice from half of a lime over the avocados, and add some salt and pepper to taste. Adding the lime juice is an optional step, but it will help keep the avocado fries from becoming discolored as you work. Add ¼ cup (31 g) flour of flour to a shallow dish. Next, whisk in ½ tsp (1 ½ g) of garlic powder, ½ tsp (1 ½ g) of onion powder, and ½ tsp (1 g) of paprika into the flour until the ingredients are well-blended. You can adjust the amount of the seasonings or add in some of your own. For example, cayenne pepper can add a spicy kick, while cumin can add some smoky flavor. Set two more shallow dishes beside the flour mixture. Add a lightly beaten egg to one of the dishes and 1 cup (50 g) of panko breadcrumbs to the other. You can substitute regular bread crumbs for the panko if you prefer. To ready the fries for baking, dredge the avocado wedges in the seasoned flour. Next, dip them in the egg and press into the panko to coat them well. Make sure that all sides of the avocado fries are coated with the panko. After the fries are coated, set them down on a single layer on the oiled pan or baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of canola oil over the fries to help them become crispy during baking. You can spray the fries with an oil cooking spray instead of drizzling the oil over them if you prefer. Place the avocado fries in the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they become golden brown.  Halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries over to ensure that they cook evenly. You can add more oil or oil cooking spray to the fries as they’re baking to help them become even crispier. When the avocado fries are finished baking, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a platter, and serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing and chipotle dipping sauce are tasty with the avocado fries.
Summary: Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Squeeze the lime juice over the avocados and season with salt and pepper. Mix the flour with the seasonings. Place the egg and panko in separate dishes. Dip the avocado slices in the flour, egg, and panko in order. Place the avocados in a single layer on the pan and add the remaining oil. Bake the avocado fries until they are golden. Serve the fries with your favorite dipping sauce.

Problem: Article: Trigeminal neuralgia is a progressive condition. Although medications can help you manage symptoms over time, more aggressive cases of this condition can lead to permanent damage to the trigeminal nerve, which can result in debilitating pain or partial permanent facial numbness. If you do not respond to medication surgery may be considered.  Your doctor will work with you to help you choose the best surgery based on your health and medical background. The degree of severity of your trigeminal neuralgia, prior history of neuropathy, and general health all factor into the options that are available to you. The overall goal of surgery is to minimize damage to the trigeminal nerve as trigeminal neuralgia advances and to improve quality of life when medications no longer effectively manage pain. The goal of balloon compression is to slightly damage the trigeminal nerve branches so that pain impulses cannot be transmitted.  During the procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the skull through a catheter and as it inflates, the trigeminal nerve is pressed against the skull. This is typically an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia, although sometimes an overnight hospital stay is needed. Balloon compression results in about two years of pain relief. Many patients experience temporary facial numbness or weakness in muscles used for chewing after undergoing this procedure, but are generally relieved of pain symptoms. Glycerol injection is used to treat trigeminal neuralgia that particularly affects the third and lowest branch of the trigeminal nerve.  During this outpatient procedure, a thin needle is inserted through the cheek into the base of the skull and near the 3rd division of the trigeminal nerve. Once the glycerol is injected, it damages the trigeminal nerve, resulting in pain relief. This procedure usually results in about 1 to 2 years of pain relief. Radiofrequency thermal lesioning, also known as RF ablation, is an outpatient procedure consisting of coagulating nerve fibers with an electrode to desensitize areas where you experience pain.  During the procedure, a needle with an electrode is inserted into the trigeminal nerve. Once the area of nerve that causes the pain is located, your doctor sends small electrical pulses through the electrode to damage the nerve fibers, resulting in numbing of the site. In about 50% of the patients, the symptoms reoccur three to four years following the procedure. This procedure uses computer imaging to send focused radiation to the trigeminal nerve.  During the procedure, the radiation creates a lesion of the trigeminal nerve, which disrupts sensory signals to the brain and reduces pain. Patients can often leave the hospital the same day or the day following the procedure. Most patients who undergo gamma knife report pain relief after a few weeks or months but pain often reoccurs within three years. MVD is the most invasive surgical procedure for trigeminal neuralgia. During surgery, your doctor makes a hole behind the ear. Then, using an endoscope to visualize the trigeminal nerve, your doctor will place a cushion between the nerve and the blood vessel that compresses the nerve.  The recovery time for this procedure varies from person to person and often requires a hospital stay. This is the most effective surgical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. About 70-80% of patients have immediate, complete pain relief and 60-70% remain pain-free at 10-20 years. Neurectomy involves removing a part of the trigeminal nerve. This invasive, ablative procedure is reserved for patients who are refractory to other treatments or who cannot undergo alternative surgical procedures.  Neurectomies may work for treating trigeminal neuralgia, but most evidence has been negative or inconclusive. Neurectomies are often performed when a blood vessel is not found pressing on the nerve during an MVD. During the procedure, different portions of the trigeminal nerve's branches are removed to grant pain relief.
Summary:
Ask about surgery. Try balloon compression. Ask about glycerol injection. Try radiofrequency thermal lesioning. Research stereotactic radiosurgery (or gamma knife). Try microvascular decompression (MVD). Understand neurectomy.
