#clinical diagnosis
- Ab love principium - A Latin aphorism adapted in medical methodology and epidemiology meaning 'let us begin with the most important thing' (literally: 'the beginning from Jove/Jupiter'). In clinical diagnosis, toxicology, and epidemiological tracing, the maxim dictates starting the evaluation with the most probable hypothesis, the most dangerous toxin, or the most critically affected vital organ to optimize intervention time and save the patient's life.
