This book highlights the enormous importance of the first step of the semiological physical examination: inspection. More specifically, inspection of the facies, and what that entails, including the meticulous observation of the proportionality of the three main regions: eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as the adjacent parts: head and neck; decisive areas for the etiological-clinical diagnosis. Merely contemplating the different components of the human face, its shape, color, symmetry, odor, and presence of possible anomalies can provide us with valuable diagnostic clues. Inspection, as this book shows, is capable of "revealing" underlying diseases of the various systems of the human body, including: integumentary (skin and pelvis), skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous and genital, as well as genetic diseases that cause characteristic facial changes. This very illustrative book is essential for medical and nursing students, as well as nursing technicians.
