Murphy's sign vs. Goldflam's sign edit
In Anglosaxon medical tradition the sign is known as Murphy's sign (or punch). However, in other countries, such as Poland, costophrenic angle tenderness is widely referred to as Goldflam's sign after the renowned Polish-Jewish internist and neurologist (Samuel Goldflam, 1852 - 1932). Allegedly, Goldflam was the first to describe the sign. Does anyone have detailed information as to the date when Murphy first described his sign? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.23.150.50 (talk) 20:07, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
negative predictive value edit
“Murphy's sign has a high sensitivity and negative predictive value” – it makes little sense to mention negative predictive value without the population it applies to. A citation and specifying the context of the predictive value would help. --Gaborgulya (talk) 11:54, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
