slippage) Ophthalmology Horner's syndrome (pupil reacts briskly to light & near effort, much smaller than left), Argyll Robertson pupils (small, irregular, accommodate but do not react to light), glaucomatous cupping (pale disc with backward depression – characteristic of glaucoma), corneal arcus (thin grayish white arc on cornea, normal aging or high cholesterol), chalazion (painless nodule/cyst on upper eyelid from sebaceous gland obstruction), hordeolum/stye (red, painful pustule – localized infection of hair follicle at eyelid margin), ptosis (lateral deviation of eye, CN III paralysis), Weber test (screens for sensorineural and conductive hearing loss), presbycusis (symmetrical high-frequency hearing loss), conjunctival injection (allergic rhinitis – pale, boggy nasal mucosa), papilledema (increased ICP) Cardiovascular Aortic stenosis (loud murmur with thrill in right 2nd ICS, radiates to carotids, crescendo-decrescendo), mitral valve (auscultate near apex of heart between 5th & 6th ICS at midclavicular line), S4 heart sound (suggests hypertension in older adults), apical pulse in 13-month-old (auscultated between 3rd & 4th ICS left of midclavicular line), peripheral artery disease (intermittent claudication, bruits, diminished/absent pulses, pale cool skin, cyanosis, thickened & opaque nails), ankle-brachial index (screening test to assess risk for PAD), coarctation of aorta (compare upper/lower extremity BPs), Tetralogy of Fallot (VSD + pulmonic stenosis + overriding aorta + RVH, harsh systolic murmur at LUSB, tet spells) Hematology/Lymphatics Femoral vein system (great saphenous vein enters deep venous system), mediastinal lymph nodes (drain anterior part of thymus, thyroid gland, anterior pericardium from anterior part of mediastinum), axillary lymph nodes (drain breasts, upper part of abdominal wall, upper part of back, pectoral region & upper limbs), pre-auricular lymph nodes (drain palpebral conjunctiva, skin within temporal region adjacent to ear), posterior auricular lymph nodes (superficial to mastoid process), tonsillar lymph nodes (at angle of mandible), supramandibular lymph nodes (drain eyelids, conjunctiva, skin of nose & cheek, infraorbital/maxillary, buccinator & mucous membrane) OB/GYN & Women's Health Diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure in utero (high risk for vaginal adenosis, circular collar/ridge of tissue between cervix & vagina), Chadwick's sign (bluish-purple discoloration of cervix, vagina, labia during pregnancy from increased vascular congestion), cervicitis (cervical erosion, erythema, discharge/irritation – investigate for STI), Chlamydia (can cause cervicitis, PID, tubal factor infertility & ectopic pregnancy if untreated), HPV type 6 & 11 (cause most genital warts), HPV type 16 & 18 (lead to majority of cervical cancer cases), oral glucose tolerance test (perform between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy), GBS screening (vaginal swab at 35-37 weeks gestation), menarche (first sign of puberty in girls = thelarche/breast budding), vulvar cancer (ulcerated or raised red vulvar lesion in elderly woman) Dermatology Peau d'orange (orange peel) sign (thickened skin with enlarged pores –
