It betrays the feelings which are uppermost in the mind at the moment, and likewise, the emotional capabilities of th e person, in other words, the temperament.

  Pathognomy
Pathognomy is the study of passions and emotions.
While Physiognomy is used to predict the overall character of an individual, Pathognomy is used to gain clues about the current character.
Physiognomy is based on shapes of the features, and Pathognomy on the motions of the features.

 Essays of Schopenhauer eBook
The science of physiognomy is one of the principal means of a knowledge of mankind: arts of dissimulation do not come within the range of physiognomy, but within that of mere pathognomy and mimicry.
Concerning our physiognomy in general, it is still to be observed that it is much easier to discover the intellectual capacities of a man than his moral character.
But gait and movement of the arms are for the most part functions of the brain; because the limbs receive their motion, and even the slightest modification of it, from the brain through the medium of the spinal nerves; and this is precisely why voluntary movements tire us.

 Sarah-Mace Dennis TEXT Vol 9 No 2
Pathognomy - described as the study of faces set into motion by emotion, as a method for diagnosing the subject's internal state of mind (Browne 1985: 151) - began with G.B. Duchenne De Boulogne.
During the years following its invention, the belief in the 'objectivity' of the photograph meant it was eagerly adopted by Duchenne and others, who regarded it as ideal for rendering visually true the conclusions drawn from their analysis of the actions of faces and bodies (Sobieszek 2001: 60) (note 2).
Although Charcot's pathognomy extends from Duchenne's concentration on the face to an observation of the full body in motion, like his mentor he used the photograph to record the movements and expressions exhibited by his subjects; images which he then treated as data to be deciphered, decoded, scientifically compared and validated (Sobieszek 2001: 76).

Messerschmidt eventually relocated to Pressburg, where he concentrated on formal portraiture and a series of 69 Character Heads, The Vexed Man belonging to this group.
Messerschmidt was a master of pathognomy, the study of passions and emotions as expressed by the human voice, gestures and the face.
His early Neoclassical Character Heads, a few carved in alabaster and many cast in lead or a tin alloy, are astonishing examples of Messerschmidt's remarkable powers of observation.

 The Phrenology Archive
During the antebellum years geographic mobility, economic expansion, and the growth of cities undermined reliance on personal contacts and references among the middle class.
Phrenology’s popularity - along with physiognomy, pathognomy, and other "sciences" based on reading innate character from bodily signs - spoke to the need and desire for practical ways to judge others in a society that was becoming more anonymous.
Supporters of phrenology argued its value in selecting marriage partners, career choices, the hiring of employees, child rearing, as well as criminal detection and rehabilitation.

Similar to the modernist tendency of fourth dimension type thinking, Mihimihi and Te Moko are suggested in contemporary Maori art.

And besides this, when we talk to him, or even hear him talking to others, we pay no attention to his physiognomy proper.

 The Philosophy of Spirit
We should have, for example, to explain the line of connection by which anger and courage are felt in the breast, the blood, the 'irritable' system, just as thinking and mental occupation are felt in the head, the centre of the 'sensible' system.
We should want a more satisfactory explanation than hitherto of the most familar connections by which tears, and voice in general, with its varieties of language, laughter, sighs, with many other specializations lying in the line of pathognomy and physiognomy, are formed from their mental source.
In physiology the viscera and the organs are treated merely as parts subservient to the animal organism; but they form at the same time a physical system for the expression of mental states, and in this way they get quite another interpretation.

 Dr. Tory Hoff
From the seventeenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth most theories of expressive movement went under the term 'pathognomy' because of the connection made between body movement and the passions.
My definitions of physiognomy and pathognomy are therefore consistent with those used by Lavater, Lichtenberg and Gall at the end of the eighteenth century.
This choice of definitions, however, has its difficulties because other definitions of 'physiognomy' emerged in the nineteenth century that included or exclusively meant expressive movement.

There are, however, elements of the show that don't quite work.
A good deal of the upstairs gallery is dedicated to early studies in physiognomy and pathognomy, including phrenological head casts, Francis Galton's photographs of patients at Bethlem Asylum, and Franz Messerschmidt's grimacing alabaster heads of 1775.
Seen in isolation, they would hold their own, but in this context they veer too closely to the caricature drawings by Daumier and Hogarth that are hung nearby.

 Latent Print Examination: Are personality traits connected to fingerprint types
Determining personality from friction ridge patterns lacks scientific basis, especially repeatability in similar controlled experiments by independent researchers.
Like phrenology, physiognomy, pathognomy, characterology, personology, psychognomy and other "...ologies" which claim extensive research, divining a person's personality from finger or palm prints has been discredited as baseless.
If, however, you are a believer that any research claiming to be extensive must be reliable, then be sure to protect your beliefs from corruption by wearing an AFDB.

 Common-place: The Physiognomy of Biometrics
By 1825, American periodicals had featured no fewer than seventy articles on physiognomy.
Lavater’s distinction between pathognomy (the study of man’s passions and his visible, but impermanent facial expressions) and physiognomy (the study of the correspondence between man’s moral character and his permanent and unalterable facial features) limited the power of people to manipulate the reception of their image in public, since it disassociated expression from character.
Since Lavaterian physiognomy read moral character from unalterable and involuntary facial features, it created a visual system for discerning a person’s permanent moral character despite his or her social masks.

 VQR » Notes on Current Books, Summer 1981
Despite its unpromising title, this study of Whitman's interest in physiology and medicine is revealing, interesting, and at times even entertaining.
Aspiz demonstrates how particularly Whitman's evolutionary and Utopian themes were linked to his knowledge of contemporaneous sciences and pseudo-sciences, and he provides a rich background in the lore and literature of (among other things) medicine, phrenology, hydropathy, pathognomy, physiognomy, mesmerism, and sexual hygiene.
Along the way we are struck by observations such as: proponents of the pseudo-sciences believed they were democratizing medicine, the calamus was a folk aphrodisiac, and the 1856 Leaves of Grass bears generic resemblance to the Fowler and Wells line of phrenological handbooks.

In the current era of modern medicine, examination of JVP, which is an integral part of CVS examination, has become a neglected part of physical examination.
It not only provides indirect assessment about cardiac hemodynamics and cardiac filling pressures, sometimes characteristic wave patterns are diagnostic and pathognomy of a few clinical conditions.
So we have enough reasons to believe that we must restore the art of jugular venous pulse assessment.
