An example in recent use (2003 case report)

Physical examination revealed an awake, cooperative, photophobic girl who was unresponsive to verbal stimuli. She responded to tactile and noxious stimuli, her deep tendon reflexes were normal in all extremities, and Brudzinski’s, Kernig’s, and Babinski’s signs were absent.

The Babinski response to the plantar reflex is a medical and neurological term. It describes a reflex named after Joseph Babinski (1857–1932), a French[1] neurologist of Polish origin, that can identify disease of the spinal cord and brain and also exists as a primitive reflex in infants. When non-pathological, it is called the plantar reflex and a downward response is elicited, while the term Babinski's sign (or Koch's sign) refers to an upward response that is pathological in origin.
When describing the patient's reflex response it is simply indicated as Babinski's sign present or Babinski's sign absent.

neutral  Joseph Tein: "CPR" doesn't fit in this context, and also would not appear at this point in the report. (And it's "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" in English, to be precise.) Saludos, Teresa.

neutral  Emma Goldsmith: The asker said that this is a neurological examination. Also, I feel that it is misleading to score your confidence level as "5" and then acknowledge that you are "not sure" in the explanation.
