11 Style Takeaways From The Fashion Awards 2019
Rented dresses, big names and even bigger winners: Bethan Holt and Charlie Gowans-Eglinton share their AAA guide to British fashion's biggest night of the year at London's Royal Albert Hall

The hostess with the mostess (outfits)
It's true that the host sets the dress code — but when the host is Tracee Ellis Ross, we'd like to see anyone, even the biggest A-list names in the business, meet the challenge. The American actress (and daughter of Diana Ross) wore not one but five outfits, and none of them could be described as understated.

First, on the red carpet, was bright white Loewe (designed by creative director Jonathan Anderson from Belfast). Ellis Ross stepped on to the stage in a technicolour floral caped dress by young British designer Richard Quinn, but if that silhouette seemed dramatic, it was nothing compared to Erdem's green and black jacquard tiered cake-topper of a frock, complete with matching hat. Two sequined dresses — ruby red Simone Rocha and silver Gucci — completed her fashion Tour de Force — and if the latter's sequins were near-blinding, well, Tracee could just keep her Gucci sunglasses on...
While the Fashion Awards was rebranded from the British Fashion Awards in 2016 to reflect its increasingly global perspective, it's a very British knees-up, hosted in the Royal Albert Hall. Accordingly, four of her frocks were designed by Brits, and the host declared her love for all things British (including Marks & Spencer) in her opening speech. It's her party, and she'll wear five looks if she wants to. CGE

With stylists competing to find the most standout frocks for their clients to wear, and so make best-dressed lists the following day, black doesn't get much of a look in (which, along with its severity, made it the natural choice for 2018's MeToo red carpet protests, as it was such a break from the norm). But while some guests opted for brights and festive sparkle, the standout trend of the night was the little black dress. A classic, but classic needn't mean boring, as this lot proved. Yasmin Le Bon eschewed new for vintage sparkly Armani Privé; Alexa Chung designed her own sequinned column with white collar and cuffs; and Naomi Watts's velvet Burberry brought the drama. All in all, great news for any woman who already has a black dress in her party arsenal. CGE

Grande dame double acts
There was a time when every woman needed a walker (a dapper, often gay, gentleman) on her arm if she was off to a glitzy fashion do, but the new vogue is to come with a woman as fabulous (and famed) as yourself and bask in your shared gorgeousness.
First up, the Fashion Awards gave us Dame Anna Wintour offering her most ostentatious Public Display of Affection of all time by entering stage left with her arm draped around the shoulder of Lady Amanda Harlech, united in their admiration for Karl Lagerfeld and both clad in regal Chanel couture ("this feels to me like an Elizabeth I vs. Mary, Queen of Scots moment," noted Tim Blanks) to announce a scholarship in the late designer's name. The Anna arm and a tilt of the heads towards one another as they exited created an unusually tender moment amid the usual mwahs.

On to Janet Jackson's homage to Rihanna, who has gone from topping the charts with Umbrella to being the first black woman to lead her own luxury design label as part of the LVMH conglomerate and thus winning the evening's Urban Luxe award. "You're loved for your style, your boldness, and your strength as a woman," Jackson said, wrapped up in a fuzzy black coat and brooch-adorned beret. Cue genuine hugs.
La pièce de résistance of grande dame double acts was Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett, out in force to present their "lovely, beautiful, sweet friend" Giorgio Armani with the Outstanding Achievement Award. Blanchett mused on how both she and Roberts had spent their first pay cheques on Armani suits, while Roberts later gave the ultimate recognition of their mutual legend status by Instagramming their place settings beside one another — it's the new selfie. Blanchett had such a jolly time with Roberts and Armani on stage that she walked off blissfully arm-in-arm with them and had to rush back on to introduce the Eric Clapton performance she'd forgotten about. As you do. BH
Bottega sweeps the board
Some nominees may have been wondering why on earth they had bothered to turn up, given that Bottega Veneta swept the board, taking four awards (Brand, Accessories Designer, British Designer Womenswear and Designer of the Year, in case you were wondering). It's a remarkable feat for British designer Daniel Lee, who showed his first collection for the house less than a year ago after being plucked from relative obscurity, to become creative director of the Italian luxury house, prompting a 500 per cent rise in sales of the brand on Net-a-Porter alone and a @newbottega Instagram fan account with nearly 150,000 followers. The question is, can it last? Never mind, Monday evening was Lee's first big moment — the boy from Bradford done good. BH

Bowmania
The celebrity rumour mill has been in overdrive about the possible end of Lily James and Matt Smith's relationship. So she did the most elegant thing and opted for a divine Valentino couture gown decorated with a giant bow and smiled her way down the red carpet — a wonderful distraction technique, I'm sure you'll agree, but also — how could you not smile in a dress this beautiful?
That's the lovely thing about this season's bowmania look; it's both joyful and super sophisticated, a rather rare combination. Also having a bow-ment was model of the year, Adut Akech, also in Valentino, and looking very Christmas tree-ish in emerald green — hers was a maxi bow at the waist, which, of course, a model can do effortlessly.Others had ideas more suited for adopting ourselves: Laura Carmichael's Ralph and Russo was artfully arranged at the hip and Lady Amelia Windsor's Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini gown came with a sweet little bow belt.
I liked how Lily's went right across the bust — an interesting way to swerve the issues that area can often present. If Valentino's not in your price range, Zara has bows galore right now. BH

The one and only Naomi — and her style icons
Unlike the rest of the night's winners, Naomi Campbell has known for several months that she'd be celebrated with the Fashion Icon award at Monday evening's ceremony, so consequently had plenty of time to prepare her acceptance speech. Allusions were naturally made to her unique approach to timekeeping and, er, sparkling temperament, as well as the activism and charity work to which she now dedicates most of her time. She described seeing the Royal Albert Hall from the bus she'd catch from Streatham, wondering what it was like inside... and now she was there as the centre of attention. And there was an emotional tribute to her mother, Valerie.
The highlight, though, was the now-official style icon (in exquisite Alexander McQueen for the night) giving a roll call of her own style icons. "Grace Jones, Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, Donyale Luna, Bethann Hardison, Naomi Sims, Dorothy Dandridge, Diana Ross, Diahann Carroll, Janet Jackson, and Tina Turner... I could go on and on," she told us. Some may be more familiar to most of us than others, but all offer serious style inspiration: I'm moodboarding Dandridge's pencil skirts and off-shoulder top looks and Luna's maximalist earrings immediately. BH

While there were a few standing ovations and more than a few standout moments, the best winner's speech of the night was undoubtedly Adut Akech's. The 19-year-old winner of the Model of the Year category accepted her award from Valentino's creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and British Vogue's editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, naming them as two of her three greatest supporters within the industry (the third being Naomi Campbell).
In her moving speech Akech, who was born in war-torn South Sudan and lived in a refugee camp in Kenya before being transferred to Australia, offered her own story as proof to anyone watching who felt under-represented, or had been told that they couldn't do something, that they could. She also spoke for more diversity, saying: "It is important for all of us to remember that someone like me winning this award is a rarity." CGE

Red carpet rentals
Usually, the red carpet is a Petri dish of the latest fashion trends, with celebrities borrowing clothes directly from the catwalk long before they've even arrived in stores (like Tracee Ellis Ross's wardrobe snapshot of next summer's biggest trends). But the shift towards conscious consumption in fashion is a powerful one, and its effects could be seen on the red carpet of one of the glitziest nights of the year.
Fashion rental website My Wardrobe HQ hired a double-decker bus as transport to the event, filling it with 80-odd editors and influencers (including Stella magazine's deputy editor Naomi Greenaway) all wearing rented fashion to walk the red carpet. You might not have a red-carpet event in the calendar any time soon, but renting could mean finding the perfect dress for that Christmas party or winter wedding.

Rather than making a wear-once purchase, renting can bring usually out-of-budget designers into your price range — Millie Mackintosh's pistachio-green Emilia Wickstead would cost £1,015 ($2036) to buy, but can be rented for £118 ($236) — which might seem steep, but could be worth it to have a stunning "new" dress worthy of that extra-special occasion.

Pockets and practicality
Julia Roberts offered up the most relatable tribute imaginable to Giorgio Armani, thanking him for making her a jumpsuit with pockets for the night, which obviously drew a cheer — it's all women really want, isn't it? Well, that and sleeves, which Julia's look also did nicely. Side note: love that she had her specs on.
Cate Blanchett also went on to praise Armani's genius at giving women the best bits of masculine tailoring. Accordingly, some of the evening's chicest looks were either by Armani or were Armani-esque. Special shout-outs to Lauren Hutton in a dream of a velvet jumpsuit, Stella Tennant in a tufted tulle masterpiece and Michelle Dockery in a black sequinned column gown; a reminder that sometimes simple, practical and timeless elegance will do perfectly — grazie mille, Mr Armani!

Mr Congeniality
This year saw the introduction of a brand new award: Designers' Designer, inviting British fashion designers to vote for their peers. The designers in the running needed to have boosted their brand's perception over the last year, but there was also an element of personal feeling here — many designers working in London today will have been classmates at university. The popularity of the winner, Scotsman Christopher Kane, was made clear by the sheer volume of the cheering in the room when his name was announced. Kane, who founded his eponymous brand in 2006, was presented his award by a Kane-clad Kylie Minogue. CGE
The newcomer
Korean-born, London-based designer Rejina Pyo was visibly shocked to win the award for British Emerging Talent in the womenswear category. This was her third year as a nominee — and, she joked, the first year that she hadn't prepared a speech. Pyo funded the launch of her eponymous label in 2014 with the prize money from a fashion competition she'd won, but was dangerously close to closure before sales took off. She's quickly become a highlight on the London Fashion Week schedule, known for her unexpected colour combinations and sculptural silhouettes. CGE

From diseases to drugs, Wailoo explores nexus of health and society
by Eric Quiñones
June 13, 2011, noon
Keith Wailoo, Princeton's Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs, is at the forefront of the study of the history of science and medicine. He has written a number of award-winning books that investigate issues related to health and society, with particular attention to race and identity.

In investigating public health issues, Princeton University scholar Keith Wailoo assumes an array of roles: historian, scientist, anthropologist, sociologist and policy analyst.
He looks at cancer through the lens of race and gender in his new book, showing how a disease once believed to afflict mainly wealthy white women was transformed in the scientific, medical and public imagination. In his undergraduate course on drugs in America, he illuminates how legislation on narcotics such as opium and crack cocaine was tied to attitudes about racial and ethnic groups associated with their use.
This multifaceted approach has brought Wailoo -- a professor in the Department of History and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs -- to the forefront of the study of the history of science and medicine. His research and teaching tackle issues at the nexus of health and society, with particular attention to race and identity.
"I've always been drawn to study science and technology as a way of understanding issues of progress, conflict and the impact of new knowledge on society," Wailoo said. "As a historian, I've also been fascinated by the intended and unintended implications of scientific and technological and medical innovation."
Angela Creager, a Princeton professor of history who, along with Wailoo, is an executive committee member of Princeton's Program in History of Science, said, "What I admire about Keith's work is that he is able to bring together analysis of technological developments in medicine with the history of social perceptions, showing how the social and technical sides of medical change are closely related, often in unexpected ways. His work in the history of science and medicine on race and medical research absolutely leads the field."

Wailoo joined the Princeton faculty in 2010 as the Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs after spending the previous year as a visiting fellow in the University's Center for African American Studies. Previously he taught at Rutgers University, where he founded the Center for Race and Ethnicity, and at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he taught in the history department and the medical school.
In recognition of his work in bringing history to bear on health policy, Wailoo in 2007 was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies -- an independent nonprofit that works to educate decision-makers and the public -- and serves on the institute's health sciences policy board.
Moving to Princeton has enabled Wailoo to forge new relationships with scholars and students who share his multidisciplinary interests. This past spring, for example, he taught a graduate course in the Wilson School on "Controversies in Health Policy," covering subjects such as direct-to-consumer advertising, end-of-life care, the role of the courts in health care reform and the history of Medicare.
"The students were a diverse group made up of physicians, students with policy experience, others with law degrees and heading to clerkships, some with science backgrounds and others who are going off to study political science after completing the public policy degree," Wailoo said. "It's an ideal setting for teaching and learning. What linked us was a common interest in the complex and sometimes perverse pathways by which health policies evolve, and an interest in how the past has both constrained and created opportunities for reform in the present."
More broadly, Princeton "is a perfect place for me to be in that it makes good use of all of the approaches I have developed in terms of my teaching and research," he added. "It is an exceptionally stimulating environment drawing me into sustained interaction with leading figures in history and policy."
From science student to journalist to professor
Wailoo began to amass his diverse scholarly interests as an undergraduate at Yale University, where he was a chemical engineering major but also was fascinated with philosophy and history, and developed a deep love of writing.
After graduating from Yale in 1984, he worked as a freelance writer for American Scientist magazine, scientific research organizations and Yale Alumni Magazine. He then decided to pursue a Ph.D. in the history and sociology of science from the University of Pennsylvania, which he earned in 1992.
"As a freelancer I found myself living hand-to-mouth. It struck me that having a Ph.D. would provide a stable basis for having a writing career, which has turned out to be true," he said with a laugh. "Little did I know that I would love being a professor and thrive with the kinds of engagement that teaching brings. But, truth be told, I still think of myself primarily as a writer."
Wailoo's output as a writer and editor has been prolific and he has received numerous awards for his books, most notably "Dying in the City of the Blues: Sickle Cell Anemia and the Politics of Race and Health" (2001). Set in the city of Memphis, the book examines the history of sickle cell anemia's association with African Americans and the sociological factors that affected the diagnosis and treatment -- or lack thereof -- of the disease in black patients.
"Dying in the City of the Blues" is "probably his most famous contribution to the literature -- a truly spectacular book," Creager said.
Wailoo's other award-winning books include "The Troubled Dream of Genetic Medicine: Ethnicity and Innovation in Tay-Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Disease" (2006) and "Drawing Blood: Technology and Disease Identity in 20th-century America" (1997). He currently is completing a study of the politics of pain medicine. He also has co-edited books on transplantation and immigration; the impact of Hurricane Katrina; and genetics, race and history.
"Keith never starts from a polemic position when investigating the social forces shaping the science and practice of medicine," said Carolyn Rouse, a Princeton professor of anthropology who also studies medicine and social inequality. "Particularly in the case of race and gender, Keith investigates medical mistakes, statistical uncertainties and treatment disparities as the outcome of discourses and genealogies that cause us to confuse opinions and emotions with fact."
In his newest book, "How Cancer Crossed the Color Line" (2011), Wailoo traces the history of cancer diagnosis, treatment and awareness over the past century, from a time when it was seen as a disease largely affecting well-to-do white women.
"In a world where the poor were more likely to die younger of infectious disease, the mantra then was that you were lucky to live long enough to get cancer," Wailoo said. "So for people who were better off and had higher expectations of longevity, there were higher rates of cancer. And given the diagnostic tools that were available 100 years ago, cancers of the breast and cervix -- which were the main killers of women -- were far more likely to be diagnosed."
At that time, cancer diagnoses also were more likely to be made by urban doctors, so whites were overrepresented among cancer patients compared to African Americans, who lived predominantly in the rural South, Wailoo noted.
"At the birth of cancer awareness, the malady was not seen as an equal opportunity disease, and the story I tell is of how that perception took shape and changed over the course of 100 years and is still changing," said Wailoo, who cites the 1979 death of popular soul singer Minnie Riperton from breast cancer as a seminal moment in raising cancer awareness among African Americans.
The book is an example of what Rouse calls Wailoo's greatest strengths: "his brilliant questions, meticulous research and historical prose."
Addressing controversies in the classroom
As with his research, Wailoo brings a curiosity about wide-ranging medical, scientific, social and policy issues into the classroom. As a visiting professor at Princeton he taught a course on "Race, Drugs and Drug Policy in America" in spring 2010, drawing positive reviews from among the 60 students who enrolled. In spring 2011, the course attracted more than 120 students.
The course explores how controversial substances become the subject of debates over immigration, identity, cultural and biological differences, criminality and other issues. Ranging from the Colonial era to the present, Wailoo and his students discuss controversies that swirled around opium and Chinese immigration, the impact of Prohibition on today's drug policies, differences in sentencing patterns for crack and powder cocaine convictions, and the interaction of drugs, youth rebellion and social change.
In his undergraduate course on drugs and America's drug policy, Wailoo investigates controversies about narcotics legislation that are fueled by attitudes about certain racial and ethnic groups. Wailoo and his students review how these attitudes were reflected in historical images, newspaper and magazine articles, and video clips, such as this 1914 New York Times column allegedly about cocaine use.
"I'm fascinated with the ongoing set of debates about how to define the line between permissible and impermissible drugs -- from medical marijuana to Ritalin -- and how that line shifts over time, and what it tells us about the role of government in determining health care choices and options," Wailoo said. "Controversies about drugs are never only about the drugs -- they're also about social norms and values, and evolving ideas about the users themselves."
Colin Quinn, a member of the class of 2012 who took the course this spring, said Wailoo helped students "understand the different time frames and points of view that we were studying. He also seemed to genuinely care about student input. He would pose a question at the end of every lecture and then post a few of the most insightful student responses to start off the next lecture's Powerpoint, which allowed us to consider varying perspectives."
Quinn, a Wilson School major, said students learned that, in terms of understanding the genesis of drug policies, "often it's not what any drug does, but rather who is using it. True or not, it is very easy for certain perceptions to form around certain drugs. It was also interesting to examine the government's role in shaping perceptions."
Justene Hill, a graduate student in history who served as a preceptor for the course, said Wailoo succeeded in the "herculean task" of giving the students a nuanced understanding of drugs in American society. "He is a master lecturer, using images, newspaper/magazine articles, video clips and popular cultural references to convey sometimes complex information about drugs and policy," she said.
Tomiko Ballantyne, a graduate student in history and preceptor for the course, added, "As a scholar, Professor Wailoo's entire process is inspiring for me. His work ethic is undeniable but, aside from that, he is able to use the richest historical details one can possibly find to build meaningful, teachable narratives. In that way, Professor Wailoo is everything a great historian should be. He mentors his students, he provides great leadership for his preceptors and his lectures are full, exciting one-hour journeys."
In the fall, Wailoo will teach a Wilson School junior policy task force titled "To Medicate or Not? Children and Drug Policy," which will analyze trends and policy dilemmas in medicating youth for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities and bipolar disorder. Students will produce recommendations for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the New Jersey Department of Youth and Family Services.
"I want students to understand the multiple ways in which the thing we call public policy takes shape," Wailoo said. For policy students, in particular, "my goal is to help them understand not just the history of those discussions but the stakes involved, their implications for patients and people who suffer from illnesses, and also to look ahead to anticipate the consequences of the kinds of policy developments which they presumably will be part of making."

RHEA COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) — A Major League Fishing tournament in Rhea County is bringing in anglers from all over and creating an economic boost for the area.
If you get out on water in Dayton, you are bound to see professional anglers. They are competing in the Stage Four Bass Pro Tour.
"The first time I have been here I caught four or five fish over six pounds. It was unbelievable. This place has some big, big fish in it. I actually caught a seven pounder two days ago and there are a lot of big ones here," said Dustin Connell, a Major League Fishing pro angler.
Anglers say they also enjoy being in Tennessee.
"I love the mountains up here. You look around and see all of the beautiful scenery. This time of year everything is blooming. Birds are chirping. It is pretty cool out there when you are on the water you get to see all the scenery. I love it here," Connell said.
Over at the Rhea County Economic and Tourism Council, they seek out these large events.
"We have been using Lake Chickamauga for the last five years as an economic driver for us in the form of tourism, competitive bass fishing. We have a great fishery. We chase these events, really about economic development and tourism," said Dennis Tumlin, the Rhea County Director of Economic Development.
They've seen an increase in tourism over the years.
"I love to see the economic benefit. It is fun to watch the fishing and so forth, but when I see restaurants full at night, when I see hotels full at night. I see downtown flourishing with visitors down in the businesses, that is fun for me," Tumlin said.
This event is kicking off the start to different activities on the lake.
"We have back to back. In two weeks we will have a giant high school event about 250 boats will be in town," Tumlin said.

4 Indians among several Covid positive, All England delayed
London, March 17: Four Indians, including three unnamed players and one member of staff, are among the several people who have tested positive for Covid-19 at the All England Open Championship. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) said in its statement on Wednesday that the championship will now be off to a delayed start due to the number of positive and "inconclusive" cases.
While the tournament will start on Wednesday, as was the case earlier, it will start at 2 p.m. GMT (7 p.m. IST) instead of the original start time of 9 a.m. GMT (2 p.m. IST).
"The Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Badminton England can confirm that a significant number of COVID-19 tests conducted for participating teams at the YONEX All England Open Badminton Championships 2021 were deemed 'inconclusive' and as a result, the samples will be rerun," said the BWF.
"BWF can also confirm that a small number of positive tests were recorded, and in agreement with Public Health England, these cases will be retested. These cases will continue to self-isolate while they are retested. As a result, play will now commence at 2 p.m. GMT on Wednesday 17 March 2021," it further said.
India's doubles coach Mathias Boe earlier said that it is absurd how Indians can test positive for the virus. "We have three players and one member from the support staff who have tested positive. I find it completely absurd how this can happen, since we have been isolated in Zurich since the Swiss Open started two weeks ago," India's Boe was quoted as saying by sport.tv2.dk.
"We have been tested 5 times in 14 days and all tests have been negative. We have only gotten along with each other, so how can they suddenly test positive?" he further said.
The testing process was something that left a few players puzzled with 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist Saina Nehwal and her husband Parupalli Kashyap both tweeting their frustration.
"Ok I have to do this now! Matches are starting tomorrow at the @YonexAllEngland and still no reports of the Covid test done 30hrs before. No practice, no gym.. for 2 days now. @bwfmedia," Saina tweeted.
"What kind of testing is this? 31 hours later still inconclusive and a re-test again god knows when... matches start tomorrow! @YonexAllEngland @bwfmedia #beyondabsurd #ridiculous," tweeted Kashyap.


MCAV were present at the Portugal Economic Forum on 11/04/18 at Bloomberg offices in London – and observed keynotes speeches from the Secretary of State, Eurico Brilhante Dias and Portuguese Prime Minister, Antonia Costa. Respectively they emphasised Portugal as being an ideal location for UK companies to base their subsidiary organisations to maintain their smooth access to the European market – as well as take advantage of their preferential connections with America, Central Europe and Africa.
They described the heavy investment made into broadband, fibre and connectivity infrastructure making Portugal the 14th ranked country in World Digital Competitiveness. Parallel infrastructure investments have Portugal ranked 8th in the world for road quality, 31st in the world for rail quality, 29th for air transport and 25th for Port (shipping) quality.
They also drew attention to Portugal's high level of educational standards (mostly state funded), with 400,000 students graduating in 2017 in the fields of Social Science and Law, Engineering and Manufacturing, Healthcare, Maths and Computer Science.
Particular importance was placed on Portugal's continued work and encouragement for start-ups and SMEs to create innovation clusters focused on Artificial Intelligence, E-commerce, IoT, Robotics and Fintech industries. Large Enterprises such as Bosch, Mecachrome and Brintons, were reported to have invested heavily in expansion plans.
Antonio Costa closed his keynote speech by stating that 'the UK had an opportunity after Brexit to remain with Europe' via Portugal.

Neuropathy˚Conditions Treated
Peripheral Neuropathy Causes & Symptoms | El Paso, TX (2019)
The human nervous system is made up of two parts: the central nervous system, which includes the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which includes the connection nerves running from the brain and the spinal cord to the rest of the human body, including the hands and the feet.
Many patients with neuropathy may experience a variety of painful symptoms due to nerve damage or injury. But, with the proper treatment approach, neuropathy can be effectively treated and even reversed. Diagnosis of neuropathy is fundamental towards proper treatment. Dr. Alex Jimenez, a chiropractor in El Paso, TX, can help patients with neuropathy.
Neuropathy is a medical term used to describe a collection of general diseases or malfunctions which affect the nerves. The causes of neuropathy, or nerve damage, can vary greatly among each individual and these may be caused by a number of different diseases, injuries, infections, and even vitamin deficiency states. However, neuropathy can most commonly affect the nerves that control the motor and sensory nerves. Because the human body is composed of many different kinds of nerves which perform different functions, nerve damage is classified into several types.
Neuropathy can also be classified according to the location of the nerves being affected and according to the disease-causing it. For instance, neuropathy caused by diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy. Furthermore, depending on which nerves are affected will depend on the symptoms that will manifest as a result. Below we will discuss several specific types of neuropathies clinically treated by chiropractors, physical therapists and physical medicine doctors alike, as well as briefly describing their causes and their symptoms.
Peripheral neuropathy, which is often simply referred to as "neuropathy," is a state that happens when your nerves become damaged or injured, oftentimes simply disrupted. It's estimated that neuropathy affects roughly 2.4 percent of the general populace and approximately 8 percent of people older than age 55. However, this quote doesn't include people affected by neuropathy caused by physical trauma to the nerves.
Neuropathy can affect any of the three types of peripheral nerves:
Sensory nerves, which transmit messages from the sensory organs, eyes, nose to the brain
Motor nerves, which track the conscious movement of the muscles
Autonomic nerves, which regulate the involuntary functions of the body
Sometimes, neuropathy will only impact one nerve. This is medically referred to as mononeuropathy and instances of it include:
Ulnar neuropathy, which affects the elbow
Radial neuropathy, which affects the arms
Peroneal neuropathy, which affects the knees
Femoral neuropathy, which affects the thighs
Cervical neuropathy, which affects the neck
Sometimes, two or more isolated nerves in separate regions of the body can become damaged, injured or disrupted, resulting in mono neuritis multiplex neuropathy. Most often, however, multiple peripheral nerves malfunction at the same time, a condition called polyneuropathy. According to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, or the NINDS, there are over 100 kinds of peripheral neuropathies.
Neuropathies are often inherited from birth or they develop later in life. The most frequent inherited neuropathy is the neurological disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which affects 1 in 2,500 people in the USA. Although healthcare professionals are sometimes not able to pinpoint the exact reason for an acquired neuropathy, medically referred to as idiopathic neuropathy, there are many known causes for them, including systemic diseases, physical trauma, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
A systemic disease is one which affects the whole body. The most frequent systemic cause behind peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, which can lead to chronically high blood glucose levels that harm nerves.
Other systemic issues can cause neuropathy, including:
Kidney disorders, which permit high levels of nerve-damaging toxic chemicals to flow in the blood
Toxins from exposure to heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, mercury, and thallium
Certain drugs and/or medications, including anti-cancer medications, anticonvulsants, antivirals, and antibiotics
Chemical imbalances because of liver ailments
Hormonal diseases, including hyperthyroidism, which disturbs metabolic processes, potentially inducing cells and body parts to exert pressure on the nerves
Deficiencies in vitamins, such as E, B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), B12, and niacin, that can be vital for healthy nerves
Alcohol abuse, which induces vitamin deficiencies and might also directly harm nerves
Cancers and tumors that exert damaging pressure on nerve fibers and pathways
Chronic inflammation, which can damage protective tissues around nerves, which makes them more vulnerable to compression or vulnerable to getting inflamed and swollen
Blood diseases and blood vessel damage, which may damage or injure nerve tissue by decreasing the available oxygen supply
Signs and Symptoms of Neuropathy
Depending on the reason and unique to each patient, signs, and symptoms of neuropathy can include:
Burning/prickling sensations
Increased sensitivity to touch
Temporary or permanent numbness;
Dysfunction in glands or organs
Impairment in urination and
Such signs and symptoms are dependent on whether autonomic, sensory, or motor nerves, as well as a combination of them, are ultimately affected. Autonomic nerve damage can influence physiological functions like blood pressure or create gastrointestinal problems and issues. Damage or dysfunction in the sensory nerves may impact sensations and sense of equilibrium or balance, while harm to motor nerves may affect movement and reflexes. When both sensory and motor nerves are involved, the condition is known as sensorimotor polyneuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy may result in several complications, as a result of disease or its symptoms. Numbness from the ailment can allow you to be less vulnerable to temperatures and pain, making you more likely to suffer from burns and serious wounds. The lack of sensations in the feet, for instance, can make you more prone to developing infections from minor traumatic accidents, particularly for diabetics, who heal more slowly than other people, including foot ulcers and gangrene.
Furthermore, muscle atrophy may cause you to develop particular physical disfigurements, such as pes cavus, a condition marked by an abnormally high foot arch, and claw-like deformities in the feet and palms.
We want you to live a life filled with more energy, positive attitude, better sleep, less pain, proper body weight and educated on how to maintain this way of life.

Neuropathy can be caused by a variety of injuries and/or aggravated conditions, often manifesting into a plethora of associated signs and symptoms. While every type of neuropathy, such as diabetic neuropathy or autoimmune disease-associated neuropathy, develops its own unique group of signs and symptoms, many patients will often report common complaints. Individuals with neuropathy generally describe their pain as stabbing, burning or tingling in character.
If you experience unusual or abnormal tingling or burning sensations, weakness and/or pain in your hands and feet, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention in order to receive a proper diagnosis of the cause of your specific signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis may help prevent further nerve injury. Visit http://www.neuropathycure.org for more details.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY-- 2 On Your Side has received photos taken from the dramatic rescue of a man who had fallen through the ice at Hyde Park Lake in Niagara Falls Wednesday.
The photos were taken by Niagara Gazette photographer James Neiss.
The man, identified as Pascal "Pat" Scrufari, 70, of Niagara Falls, later died at a local hospital.
Officials say the man was walking his dogs when he fell through. You can see in one of the photos his two dogs standing by waiting for him while rescue crews scramble to pull the man out.
Officials say 911 operators received a call just after 3pm Wednesday that someone had fallen into Hyde Park Lake.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered the man underwater, with only his clothes visible when firefighters arrived.
Battalion Chief Daniel Boland jumped in, along with Captain Jason Zona, to help pull the man out of the water.
The pictures were taken by a relative of Chief Boland and sent to us by a third party.
