-==[[Indriya Sthana]] Chapter 3, Chapter on the Signs and Symptoms of Imminent Death ==
-=== Abstract ===
-<div style="text-align:justify;">
-Palpation and percussion enables a physician to make important observations that helps in understanding the disease. [[Parimarshaneeyamindriyam Adhyaya]] deals with signs and symptoms of imminent death; especially the ones which can be elicited by touch or palpation. The chapter talks about various changes that occur in different parts of the body along with various signs elicited by palpation like hardening, softening, bowing, displacement of body structures, changes in breathing patterns, extreme wasting along with deficiency of blood, structural and functional changes in eyes, body hair, and various body parts.
-'''Keywords''': ''lingam, sparsha,'' touch, palpation, fatal signs.

-=== Introduction ===
-<div style="text-align:justify;">
-[[Parimarshaneeyamindriyam Adhyaya]] is the third amongst the twelve chapters that make up the [[Indriya Sthana]] and mainly deals with the moribund symptoms based on palpating various regions of the body. It follows [[Pushpitakamindriyam Adhyaya]], the second chapter in [[Indriya Sthana]] that deals with the prognosis based on observing the changes in the odour or tastes in the body. The reason for this sequence can be understood as the changes in the odor or taste can be felt easily and from far whereas to palpate proximity to the patient is a must. The chapter also precedes [[Indriyaneeka]], which is the fourth chapter of the [[Indriya Sthana]] that deals with the prognosis based on observing the functioning of the sensory organs of the body.

-Lord Atreya said,, now we shall explain all tangible observations related to palpation in relation with imminent death. [1-2]
-The person who is about to die manifests various signs in terms of colour, voice, odour, taste (sense by person) which are described separately. Now we will learn about the signs of imminent death pertaining to touch. [3]

-The physician who wants to use the method of palpation for measuring the remaining lifespan of a patient, should palpate his (patient’s) entire body with his hands, the hands being in normal condition. If the hands of the physician are not in normal condition, he should do so by using another person as a substitute for palpating the patient’s body.
-While palpating patient’s body; following deviations should be studied keeping normal anatomy and physiology of the body in mind; one should examine the person with palpation technique. Extreme deviations from normalcy in the body like the absence of pulsation in the pulsatile areas of the body, absence of warmth from warm regions of the body or the presence of hardness or rigidity in softer body structures can give important information in regards to the life span of the person. Similarly the presence of the signs like dislocation or displacement of joints, extreme alteration in perspiration, extreme emaciation or bulkiness of muscle etc. which are found without any apparent cause are to be studied to assess the span of life or the signs of death.

-Now I will elaborate upon what I have stated above. If on individual palpation; the feet, calves, thighs, buttocks, belly, both the flanks, vertebral column, hands, neck, palate, lips, forehead are found to be soaked in perspiration, are cold, show stiffness or absence of sensation, inflexibility, or are deficient of flesh or blood, then the physician should note that the person is nearing the end of his live and will die soon.
-The physician should similarly palpate separately ankles, knees, pelvis, anus, scrotum, penis, navel, nipples, rib cage, chin, nostrils, ears, eyes, eyebrows, temples to see if these are lax, broken, loosened, displaced from their normal position. If so then the physician should consider that the patient will face death in a short span of time.  [5]

-The physician should similarly examine the patient’s respiration, two sides of the neck, teeth, eye-lashes, eyes, hair covering the head as well as body hair, abdomen, nails and fingers.
-If patient breaths either too long or too short of a breath, then it is to be considered that he is nearing to death. While palpating both sides of the neck (''Manya'') of a patient, if absence of pulsation is noted then the person is considered to be closer to death. If his teeth are coated, abnormally white and have sugar/crystal like deposits on it, then the person is considered nearer to death. If his eye-lashes are matted together, he is considered closer to death. If his eyes have lost physiological characteristics or are seen abnormal in any manner like- too bulging, too retracted, too oblique or squinted, too distorted, too loosened within their structure, having too much watery discharge, are either continuously open or closed, continuously blinking, with unstable vision, abnormal vision, deficient vision, have lost their keenness of vision (or color blindness), night blind, sees everything complete white or black, or red like hot coals, if the vision is covered over much with an unhealthy ring of any of colors like- black, yellow, blue, blackish, coppery, green, turmeric, white or any other abnormal color then the person is considered to be standing on death door. Now physician should try to pluck a few hair from scalp and body of the patient, the absence of pain while plucking the hair denotes that the patient is closer to death. If the veins on abdominal region become visible and appear to have various colors like-black, copper, blue, turmeric-like or white, the patient should be considered to be ready to depart from his life. If the nails are drained of blood and flesh, they look dark purple in color, it is to be considered that the patient is not going to survive. Lastly physician should examine the patient’s finger. If while stretching or pulling they do not get cracked, it should be known that the person will not survive. [6]

-[[Parimarshaneeyamindriyam Adhyaya]] deals with signs and symptoms of imminent death or moribund symptoms; specifically those are elicited by touch or palpation. The chapter commences with the importance of palpation as a modality for diagnosis and any changes in the body indicative of imminent death. The signs of imminent death are seen as abnormal manifestations which cannot be explained as they appear without any reason. These can be seen as absence of pulsation in the areas of the body that are pulsatile, coldness in the warm areas of the body, rigidity in softer body parts, roughness in the body parts that are slimy in nature, the inexplicable absence of body parts; laxity, bowing or displacement of joints, excessive deficiency of flesh or blood, solidity of flesh or blood, excessive perspiration or stiffness, and/or whatever other similar symptoms that can be demonstrated by palpation. The important point to note here is that all the signs and symptoms seen here as well as other chapters of [[Indriya Sthana]] are seen without any causative factors. The rest of the [[Charak Samhita]] excluding the [[Indriya Sthana]] comprises of various signs and symptoms due to ''dosha dushti'' or vitiation of ''doshas''. (Ch.In.3/4)
-==== Some examples of palpation ====
-Palpation is typically carried out to measure the pulse as well as determines any changes in the body physiology in various body structures like thorax and abdominal cavity. It also helps early detection and diagnosis of prostate or breast cancer. Palpation is also used to determine muscle responses in case of motor neuron diseases.
-Arterial pulse can be felt physiologically in various areas as radial pulse, brachial pulse, carotid pulse, femoral pulse, popliteal pulse, posterior tibial pulse and dorsalis pedis pulse. Absence of pulsation in these areas indicates occlusion of the specific artery or aorta from where the pulse wave originates.
-The carotid artery is palpated with the thumb or finger tips placed at the upper end of the thyroid cartilage along the medial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.<ref> Vakil RJ, Golwalla AF. Physical Diagnosis. 9th ed. Media Promoters & Publishers Pvt. Ltd. MumbaiJal pg231 </ref> The absence of pulsation in carotid artery usually results from atherosclerosis or carotid artery stenosis.
-The pulsations of jugular veins or the study of carotid circulation by using color Doppler test can provide more information on cerebral health which can give important information on the life span of the individual.
-Thermoregulatory center of hypothalamus actively monitors thermostasis. If this gets altered it’s a sign of fatality. Sudden drop of body temperature could be a result of an injury, hemorrhage, acute illness or shock. A persistently low temperature is commonly seen in emaciation or wasting diseases, hypothyroidism or Simmonds diseases (post-partum hypopituitarism).<ref> Vakil RJ, Golwalla AF. Physical Diagnosis. 9th ed. Media Promoters & Publishers Pvt. Ltd. MumbaiJal pg80 </ref>
-Cancer is one of the leading causes of death and disease worldwide today. Various changes like rigidity in soft tissues (e.g. breast cancer) and roughness in mucosal membranes (changes seen in gastric cancer) or extreme wasting are a few changes associated with cancer.
-Absence of normally existing body parts can be understood as atrophy of various glands or overall muscle atrophy.
