The Role of Facies in Clinical Diagnosis
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.

Service Contracts in the Oil and Gas Industry
This book is written and edited by experts and academics already active in the oil and gas industry, and addresses students and practitioners alike. It aims to familiarize them with salient features of oil and gas service contracts. The book provides a concise description and, to a lesser extent, analysis of the main features of service contracts of the types commonly used in the oil and gas industry. Writers and editors come from different legal traditions and practice in different jurisdictions, including UK, Iran, Brazil and Mexico. Service contracts are as broad as their name suggests, comprising a wide array of contracts. However, a clear distinction exists between contracts where one party to the contract is a sovereign state or neither is. This has been the basis for organizing the present book in two parts.
