This information was transmitted through my body via the peripheral nervous system to my brain. This is an apparent example of anatomical encoding.

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is defined as a hearing condition in which sound enters the inner ear normally‚ but the transmission of the signal to the brain is impaired. The characteristics of ANSD are highly variable and can manifest as any degree of hearing loss and functional ability. Some individuals with ANSD have minimal auditory complaints and do not know of their condition until adulthood. Others can have a complete lack of sound awareness‚ localization and auditory-based

Approximately one third of the patients have Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) with diabetes mellitus. Patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of developing Peripheral Artery Disease and macrovascular disease. When Peripheral Artery Disease has developed in a patient with diabetes‚ prognosis in a patient is very poor. Over a 5-year period approximately 4 % of the patients experience limb loss‚ 20 % have myocardial infarction or stroke and 30 % die. A huge majority of (75 % to
