peer agreement (net): +3flank/kidney percussion on the left side is strongly positive Explanation: In Czech medical texts, "tapotement" is used to specifically refer to kidney/flank percussion as part of physical examination, while in English its definition refers only to a massage technique. tapotement – fr. 1. pův. způsob masáže spočívající v opakovaných rychlých poklepech rukama často jejich malíčkovou hranou na různé části těla 2. v medicíně běžně poklep malíkovou hranou ruky na oblast ledvin, součást fyzikálního vyšetření. Je bolestivý u některých zánětů ledvin https://lekarske.slovniky.cz/pojem/tapotement The information in the below link was compiled as part of a project by the First Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Prague and is based on a Czech medical book, but I do not think you will find this specific meaning of "tapotement" on other than Czech or Slovak websites or in an English dictionary: "Tapotement Tap the kidneys with the fingertips of your hand. It normally should be painless. If pain is felt it is a positive sign. Unilaterally positive for acute pyelonephritis, perinephritis (Also if infiltration of the surrounding is present). Bilaterally positive for glomerulonephritis, bilateral pyelonephritis (obstructive uropathy)." https://www.wikilectures.eu/w/Tapotement l. sin. = left side ++ = the findings are strongly positive |
