I, for one, would like to see the day every last one of these signs linked to from this page has at least a stub article. I reckon it'll be at least another year or two. I can hope, right? Alex.tan 06:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A search of the web suggests there is no such thing as Terry-Thomas's sign - Kittybrewster 01:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rumpel-Leede sign: See Tourniquet test
(?)

Re

Rumpel-Leede sign: Tourniquet test
says "also known as a Rumpel-Leede Capillary-Fragility Test" and explains what constitutes a positive finding of this test.
I'm personally not confident enough of my medical knowledge to just
boldly make this a redirect. -- Writtenonsand (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply

Dagher Manouevre

this is a surgical technique, and as such therapeutic rather than diagnostic.doesn't seem to me to belong in this list.Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Braxton-Hicks Contractions

they're eponymous, but they're not diagnostic of anything. do they belong?Toyokuni3 (talk) 05:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

anyone want to weigh in on virchow's triad? not really a sign.Toyokuni3 (talk) 22:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's more of a "medical eponym" than an "eponymous medical sign". Antelantalk 22:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jacobsohn sign?

Stuggling to find this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.6.200 (talk) 12:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a quick search of a couple of sites hasn't turned up anything. are you sure of the spelling? also there's the lack of a convention for using the possessive 's or not. what is the specialty and/ or disorder, organ system etc.?Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
back again. try bekhterev-jacobsohn reflex. more at whonamedit.comToyokuni3 (talk) 16:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eponymous signs vs. medical eponyms

someone has been making anonymous albeit well-intentioned additions of medical eponyms, e.g. susac syndrome. this list is for eponymous signs, tests, reflexes, etc. things of diagnostic significance only. please stop and think whether your addition meets that criterion. thx.Toyokuni3 (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Article

The article needs to be renamed. The thing which is eponymous is the thing which gives its name.

For instance Charles Dettie Aaron is best known for his eponymous indicator of appendicitis: the Aaron Sign.

If the Aaron Sign is to be eponymous then Charles Dettie Aaron would have to be named after the sign.

I would suggest List of Medical Signs named for People. Does anyone have an objection to me moving the page?
