The need for evolving and coordinating these approach of clinical evaluation of a patient can be appreciated if I realize that many common signs such as dark circles around eyes, early graying of hair, perspiration in palms, or feet, stammering, the peculiar melanization associated with pregnancy on the one hand and alcoholics on the other are hardly understood in terms of the physiological/pathophysiological processes and mechanisms involved in them.
