If it sometimes seems as if dinosaur names come from another language, well, there's a simple explanation: dinosaur names really do come from another language. Traditionally, paleontologists the world over use Greek to christen new species and genera--not only of dinosaurs, but of birds, mammals, and even microbes.Partly this is convention, but partly it's rooted in common sense: classical Greek has long been a shared language of scholars and scientists.raditionally, paleontologists the world over use Greek to christen new species and genera--not only of dinosaurs, but of birds, mammals, and even microbes.

Peripheral neuropathy has a number of causes and varies in severity among affected people. Vitamin deficiency, diabetes, and kidney failure are among the medical causes of tingling in the hands and feet due to nerve damage. Taking certain medications can also cause tingling in the hands and feet. Other potential causes of peripheral neuropathy include autoimmune diseases, toxins, alcoholism, and infections.
Tingling hands, feet, or both is an extremely common and bothersome symptom. Such tingling can sometimes be benign and temporary. For example, it could result from pressure on nerves when your arm is crooked under your head as you fall asleep. Or it could be from pressure on nerves when you cross your legs too long. In either case, the pins and needles effect -- which is usually painless -- is soon relieved by removing the pressure that caused it. In many cases, however, tingling in the hands, feet, or both can be severe, episodic, or chronic.
