	Peripheral Neuropathy Fact Sheet: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		Peripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body.
		Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold or a finger is burned.
		One example of an acquired peripheral neuropathy is trigeminal neuralgia (also known as tic douloureux), in which damage to the trigeminal nerve (the large nerve of the head and face) causes episodic attacks of excruciating, lightning-like pain on one side of the face.

	Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
		Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to your limbs.
		Strictly speaking, peripheral arterial disease refers to a problem with any of the arteries outside, or peripheral to, your heart, but the term is commonly used to describe circulatory problems in your limbs or pelvis.
		Because peripheral arterial disease is related to reduced blood flow to your limbs, it's important to reduce your risk of blood clots.

	Principles of Peripheral Photography
		In summary, a peripheral photograph is one in which the entire outer (or inner) surface of an object is depicted on a single flat sheet of film or paper so that all surface features of the subject may be examined at once.
		In peripheral photography the image of the subject is made to move in the same direction and at the same speed as the film is moving past the stationary slit shutter within the camera.
		Since the basis for peripheral strip photogrpahy is that the film moves past a slit upon which the image of the object of interest is projected by a lens, we must first devise a means for transporting film.

		Peripheral nerves come out of the spinal cord and are arranged along lines in the body called dermatomes.
		There are many different kinds of peripheral neuropathy with many different causes -- from carpal tunnel syndrome (an injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists -- such as computer use) to Guillain-Barre syndrome (a rare, sudden paralysis).

		Peripheral neuropathy can be demyelinating, axonal, or both, as determined by electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS).
