Anatomy and Physiology For The Acupuncturist "Made Easy" - Bradley Kuhns
A WORD ON
ETIOLOGY - PATHOLOGY - DIAGNOSIS
By Dr. Bradley W. Kuhns
II. A WORD ON ETIOLOGY-PATHOLOGY-DIAGNOSIS
I would like to suggest that case history, symptomatology, pathology and etiology are by nature, associated like the sides of a pyramid- The two sides you can see more clearly are case history and symptomatology; the side that is away from you is Pathology, the base is Etiology.
A given cause produces a variety of Pathological changes and a greater variety of symptoms and case histories. A given Pathological condition may arise from a variety of causes and be manifested in a variety of symptoms. A given symptom may be due to a variety of Pathological conditions resulting from a variety of causative factors. The case history brings in the time element and includes adaptive and compensatory changes as well as Pathological changes.
Success in diagnosing a given case accurately, therefore, requires exhaustive study and a clear mental picture of the etiology, pathology, symptomatology and case history, based on accurate, thorough observation and reasoning and in many cases intuition, and requiring accurate and definite knowledge of the normal and abnormal anatomy, histology, and physiology of the parts involved.
2.1 Etiology
The science relating to the causes or development of diseases is known as etiology. The causes of disease may be direct active or exciting, indirect or predisposing, or the cause may be obscure or unknown.
The direct causes are the ones which immediately produce the disease. In infectious diseases, the direct cause is due to a specific organism. In other disorders a careful examination will usually determine the active or exciting causes.
The predisposing causes of diseases have a great deal to do with infection. An exposure to an infective agent may not result in disease, unless certain conditions are favorable. Therefore, anything which lowers the resistance of the body-such as fatigue, improper diet, lack of exercise, exposure to cold, insufficient amount of fresh air and various excesses-is a predisposing cause.
The obscure or unknown causes include everything not definitely known or positively proven.
Lack of exercise is an important factor in lowering the body resistance. No one can enjoy the best of health unless a certain amount of exercise is taken. Outdoor exercise is preferable to that taken indoors.
Lack of sunshine is another cause of lowered vitality. The sun has a beneficial effect on the tissues and blood of the whole system.
Insufficient fresh air has a tendency to lower the body resistance. The blood must be thoroughly oxygenated if one is to enjoy a high degree of health.
Improper diet is an important factor pertaining to good health. The body cannot be properly nourished unless suitable foods are used to supply the body with the elements necessary to good health.
Fatigue is a menace to good health. This may be due to insufficient sleep or rest, or to long hours of work, or to certain occupations.
Clothing may be the cause of lowered resistance if too much or too little is used.
Temperature of an excessive nature contributes to lowered resistance. Temperature of a room should not be very much above 70 degrees. Persons living in warm or hot climates usually lack the vigor and energy of those residing in the colder climates. Long exposure to cold, however, reduces body resistance.
Occupation of certain kinds affects the health of individuals. Long hours of constant sitting or standing do not permit sufficient exercise for all of the muscles of the body.
Sleep is essential to good health. About eight hours of refreshing sleep are necessary for the average person. The room should be well ventilated and the mind free from worries or business cares. Persons who sleep during the day do not secure the rest that is obtained by sleeping at
