	<div style="text-align:justify;">The third chapter describes the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and therapeutics of lumps in abdomen. Gulma, a (stable or transitory) growth that could occur anywhere in the body is primarily caused by a vitiated vata. The description given in the text cannot be correlated with any single entity of conventional medicine, but denotes localized intra-abdominal swellings of multiple origin in terms of their cause, site, features etc. In patients weakened by or recuperating from diseases or cleansing therapies (vamana, etc.), or suffering from very stressful conditions, vata gets vitiated and enters the mahasrotas (gastrointestinal tract) causing the formation of gulma. Amongst the five types of gulma, sannipatika gulma is incurable whereas remaining can be managed according to dosha involvement. </div>		<div style="text-align:justify;">The third chapter describes the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and therapeutics of lumps in abdomen.

	<div style="text-align:justify;">This chapter describes the disease prameha (group of obstinate urinary disorders including diabetes) as well as its etiopathogenesis, types, clinical features, prognosis, prodromal symptoms, complications, and a line of treatment. Though it is predominantly a kapha dosha disorder, there are variants involving all three doshas and ten dushya (body tissues and other elements). Excessive and turbid urination are the cardinal signs of all prameha. All those urinary and systemic diseases that cause copious quantities, as well as the abnormal (including turbid) quality of urination, come under the umbrella of prameha. This chapter briefly explains the importance of interaction of exogenous factors, endogenous and tissue response factors in the manifestation of the disease. The concept of genetic susceptibility to disease and effect of chronic disease on genes is also incorporated in this chapter. </div>		<div style="text-align:justify;">This chapter describes the disease prameha (group of obstinate urinary disorders including diabetes) as well as its etiopathogenesis, types, clinical features, prognosis, prodromal symptoms, complications, and a line of treatment.

+<div style="text-align:justify;">Nidana Sthana deals with the etiology, symptomatology, and means of diagnosis of diseases. It begins with a generalized set of fundamental principles of diagnosis and then proceeds to specialized studies of diseases. The first part of this chapter deals with necessary tools for acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of any disease. A set of five important tools/components - etiology, premonitory signs, clinical features, pacifying factors and pathogenesis termed as ‘Nidana Panchaka’ helps in understanding a disease thoroughly. Each of these tools has a specific significance in diagnosis and explores an important aspect of the disease. Etiology helps to ascertain the causative factors of the diseases and diagnosis helps in determining the nature of the disease by causative factors, premonitory signs, actual signs, exploratory signs, and pathogenesis. Comprehensive management of disease and restoration of health is not possible without complete knowledge of all aspects of the disease process. The second part of the chapter uses these tools to explain fever (jwara) and its types (endogenous and exogenous), as well as methods to manage it. Jwara is caused by the accumulation of vitiated dosha at the site of digestion and further affliction of digestion and thermal regulation in the body. Considering the basic tools for comprehensive understanding of disease, it is regarded as an important chapter. </div>

+== Chapter 2. Diagnosis and etiopathogenesis of Bleeding Disorders – [[Raktapitta Nidana]] ==
-This second chapter of [[Nidana Sthana]] is about bleeding disorders (''raktapitta'') caused by an excess of ''pitta dosha'' in the body vitiating the ''rakta dhatu''. This vitiated ''rakta dhatu'' leads to tissue break-down, causing hemorrhages in the upper and lower parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Contributing factors that increase the probability of ''raktapitta'' include consumption of specific food and drug substances including consumption of incompatible food substances, consuming certain meats with alcohol, butter milk with meat of animals etc. These etiological factors are basically ''ushna'' (hot) –either in properties or in potency - which when regularly consumed by a person, vitiate ''pitta''. Vitiated ''pitta'' has the same color and smell as ''rakta'', and blends seamlessly with it to form ''raktapitta.''  Vitiated ''pitta'' and increased ''rakta'' circulate in the channels and the resultant increased volume of the blood overflows from the bodily orifices. During the pathogenesis of ''raktapitta'', if an excessive and vitiated ''kapha'' joins in the action, bleeding from upper orifices occurs while an excessive and vitiated ''vata'' leads to bleeding from the lower orifices. While the ''kapha'' condition is curable, the ''vata''-affliction is difficult to cure. Complications arise when both ''kapha'' and ''vata'' vitiations occur alongside ''raktapitta''. Such conditions are incurable. Therapeutic measures of emesis and purgation, along with useful medicinal formulations and attention may improve the condition of patients of hemorrhagic disorders in varying degrees. Prodromal symptoms and complications have been described in this chapter.
+<div style="text-align:justify;">This chapter deals with diagnosis of bleeding disorders (raktapitta) caused by an excess of pitta dosha vitiating blood (rakta dhatu) in the body. This leads to capillary break-down causing hemorrhage from external openings like mouth, per rectum, nose, eyes, ears, urethra. Contributing factors that increase the probability of raktapitta include consumption of incompatible food substances, consuming certain meats with alcohol, butter milk with meat of animals etc. The regular exposure to dietary and lifestyle factors with hot (ushna) properties vitiates pitta. This pitta has the same color and smell as rakta, and blends seamlessly with it. Vitiated pitta and increased rakta circulate in the channels and the resultant increased volume of the blood overflows from the bodily orifices. The pathogenesis, if associated with vitiated kapha, leads to bleeding from upper orifices, whereas if it is associated with vitiated vata, leads to bleeding from the lower orifices. The first condition is curable, and later is difficult to cure. If both kapha and vata are involved in the pathogenesis, then the complications arise and such conditions are incurable. Avoiding etiological factors enlisted in this chapter can delay the progression of hemorrhagic disorders. Therapeutic measures of emesis and purgation, along with useful medicinal formulations and attention can improve the condition of patients of hemorrhagic disorders in varying degrees.
