• From start to finish — A Latin phrase from Horace's Satires, literally meaning 'from the egg to the apples' (referring to the traditional course of a Roman banquet). In academic, medical, and psychological contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe an exhaustive, comprehensive, and chronological analysis of a phenomenon, pathology, or individual development, covering the entire spectrum from the absolute origin to the final phase of manifestation.
• Anamnesis — A fundamental clinical method consisting of the totality of data obtained by a physician or psychologist through a structured dialogue with the patient or their relatives, regarding the history of the disease onset, family medical history, and living or working conditions. It represents the essential first stage of the clinical examination, aimed at guiding the diagnosis toward a specific pathology and establishing a relationship of trust between the specialist and the patient.
