Pica:
History and physical examination
(Professional Guide to Signs & Symptoms (Fifth Edition))
Begin by determining what substances the patient has been eating. If the patient has eaten toxic substances, such as lead, obtain a serum lead level. If the patient is a child, ask the parents to describe his eating habits and nutritional history. When did the child first display pica? Does he always crave the same substance? Is he listless or irritable?
Check the patient’s vital signs, noting especially bradycardia, tachycardia, or hypotension. Then inspect the abdomen for visible peristaltic waves or other abnormalities. Observe the hair, skin, and mucous membranes for changes, such as dryness or pallor.

Arterial Pulse Variants:
Diagnostic Approach
(Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis)
Examine the pulse using the method of trisection: apply pressure until the pulse is maximal, and then vary pressure while concentrating on phases of the pulse.
Early Chinese medicine based diagnosis primarily on careful examination of the pulse. There were six sets of pulses, each connected with a specific part of the body and each believed to register even the subtlest physiological changes within it. The principal pulses were Fu, a light-flowing pulse like a piece of wood floating on water; Ch’en, a deeply impressed pulse like a stone thrown into water; Ch’ih, a pulse with three beats to one cycle of respiration; and Shu, a pulse with six beats to one cycle of respiration.
