List any sign that stood out in your mind.. Ill start:

1)"Myerson's sign"--tapping the glabella(the area betrween the top of nose and eyebrows) if patient is unable to stop from blinking it is suggestive of Parkinsons..

2)Murphys sign(old fashion?)--[the new one is]:

"Sonographic Murphy sign"--Using the ultrasound probe applying direct pressure over the Gall Bladder..There is inspiratory arrest and increased pain on deep inspiration..The positive predictive value here is >90%.....suggestive of acute cholecystitis..👍[I remember this cause there was a short NBA player named Calvin Murphy!]

Add what ever you can

most common causes here would be low albumin affecting total calcium, renal insufficiency, Vit D def, and hypoparathyroidism.

except infants because their corticospinal tract isn't fully developed (maybe?)

Good! As I remember this why it would be impossible to "toilet train" an eleven or twelve month old..

Tinel's sign:

I remember this because one actually taps or bangs over the median nerve on the volar wrist to elicit PAIN... Seen in Carpa Tunnel syndrome..
