What's the difference between acephalic and cephalic?
Acephalic
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) In the acardiac, acephalic twin malformation the normal co-twin is put at risk because of the extra cardiac work-load.

(8) The deficient development of the peripheral immunopoietic system in acardiac acephalous monsters cannot be explained only by the absence of the thymus.
(9) We report an interesting case of a macrosomic acardiac acephalic fetus weighing 4.5-fold of another variable donor fetus (approximately 6 kg) in a twin pregnancy.
Cephalic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the head. See the Note under Anterior.
(n.) A medicine for headache, or other disorder in the head.
Example Sentences:
(1) However, CT will be insensitive in the detection of the more cephalic proximal lesions, especially those in the brain stem, basal cisterns, and skull base.
(2) Survival and healing of "extremely severe" grade intoxication can only be obtained through a surgical intervention within the first hours; a laparotomy will indicate the depth of the lesions, which is not determined by endoscopy, and will consist of Celerier's stripping method and if necessary a gastrectomy, more seldom a cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomy.
(3) In embryos examined 2 days after CP administration, fetal weight and brain weight were less than controls, but cephalic AChE was higher (p less than 0.001).
(4) The use of this approach is associated with a lower reoperation rate than the cephalic vein way.
(5) This is a case controlled study of 385 women with breech presentation and 357 with cephalic presentation.
(6) Sympathetic activity was altered by temporarily lowering cephalic perfusion pressure (CPP) from 90 to 20 mmHg while aortic pressure was held constant.
(7) Seven peripheral vein sites were successfully venipunctured in unanaesthetized chinchillas: the femoral, cephalic, auricular, saphenous, dorsalis penis, lateral abdominal and tail veins.
(8) "Half-way", Secalon-Seldy, soft venous catheters, 40 cm long, were inserted by basilic (n = 90) and cephalic (n = 31) veins at the fossa cubiti in 121 patients (71 men and 50 women) aged between 19 and 88 years whose heights varied from 152-197 cm.
(9) is a benign disease of the pancreas, limited to its cephalic portion, without demonstrated pathogenesis.
(10) Three patients with unstable fractures got cranial perforation of the cephalic screw after mobilisation.
(11) Conventional Roentgenographic Cephalometric Methods (RCM) have certain conceptual and geometric constraints that ensure that their descriptions of cephalic growth and comparisons of cephalic form are reference-frame-dependent; and it is impossible to determine which, if any, RCM reference frame provides a biologically more correct description or comparison.
(12) To better understand the mechanism of cerebral blood flow during CPR in humans, we determined the aortic-carotid artery pressure difference, the cephalic perfusion pressure (the carotid artery-jugular vein pressure difference), and thoracic inlet venous "valving" (the central venous-jugular vein pressure difference), while administering standard doses of epinephrine.
(13) For cephalic lesions, if excision surgery seems difficult, it may be conceivable, using modern techniques of investigation, to adopt a conservative attitude when there are no features suggestive of potential malignant change.

(17) The following clinical factors tend to be associated with an increased number of respirator brains: A. Cerebral trauma B. Subnormal body timperature C. Low systolic blood pressure D. Dilated pupils E. Pupils unresponsive to light F. Absence of cephalic reflexes G. Electrocerebral Silence (ECS) 6.
(18) On the contrary, the SEPs obtained with a cephalic reference on stimulating the posterior tibial nerves were of small amplitude and disorganized.
(19) The cephalic signal can be superseded by juvenile hormone, whose presence is necessary for each follicle to become vitellogenic.
(20) The cells contained spherical granules with variable densities and diameters ranging between 40 and 280 nm in the rostral (=cephalic) lobe, and between 60 and 260 nm in the caudal lobe.
