What's the difference between anencephalic and anencephalous?
Anencephalic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Anencephalous
Example Sentences:
(1) The zinc levels in the blood (plasma, red blood cells) and hair of 8 newborn infants with NTD (4 being anencephalic) were compared with those of normal newborn infants.
(2) Mothers with three or more previous live births or a history of stillbirths were more likely to have anencephalic offspring than were those without these documented histories.
(3) An answer may be suggested through observation of two anencephalic fetuses who demonstrated no response to such stimulation.
(4) In eight anencephalic fetuses ultrasound observations of movement patterns were made and correlated with the morphological findings at postmortem.
(5) In anencephalics without a functional hypothalamohypophysial system, the endocrine pancreas does not reach full maturation and the use of these glands for islet transplantation can be questioned.
(6) Harvesting of kidneys from anencephalic donors declared "brain-dead" at birth may reduce the incidence of primary nonfunction and increase the availability of anencephalic kidneys for transplantation.
(7) Out of the 209 aborted fetuses there were 42 anencephalic, 38 sublethal defects of the central nervous system, 20 sublethal and lethal defects of the urinary system, 13 cases of omphalocele, 30 cases of trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and 26 aneuploids.
(8) Embryo X had a chondrocranium that possessed features typical of a holoacranial anencephalic skull and an extremely well-preserved brain, in which some of the neural tracts were comparable to those in a normal control.
(9) In the anencephalic babies, fetal pulmonary maturation was lacking, while in the microencephalic infants there were definite signs of lung maturation.
(10) The dynamics of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) induced human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) production were studied in isolated placental cells from normal and anencephalic midterm and term gestations.
(11) The committee concluded that anencephalic infants are suitable sources for organ transplants, with the fully informed and freely given consent of the parents, because their condition is so unique and they are so unlike other babies that the determination of life or death need not be undertaken.
(12) This revealed elevated MS-AFP to be associated with 32 (16.3%) anomalies (2 NTD, 5 anencephalics, 5 ventral abdominal wall defects, 1 stage IV-S neuroblastoma, 1 renal anomaly, 1 ventriculomegaly, 15 fetal demises, and 2 fetal-maternal bleeds).
(13) There seems some doubts, though, whether Knox was correct in hypothesising that the sex ratio of anencephalics varies with their incidence in relation to the dizygotic twinning rate.
(14) Only in special situations has PGF2 alpha been found more efficacious than oxytocin; such situations are missed abortion, intrauterine death, molar gestations, and anencephalic pregnancy.
(15) Testosterone conversion by the placenta of an anencephalic fetus confirms that conversion to estrogens occurs even without significant fetal adrenal activity.
(16) The proportion of macrophages and elongated cells was significantly increased in all anencephalic cases.
(17) This article discusses some of the medical, legal, and ethical issues in using organs from primates and anencephalics to transplant to infants who will otherwise die.
(18) The maturation of fetal lungs was determined in 3 anencephalic monsters and in 2 microencephalic babies.
(19) The results of five 'en bloc' kidney transplants from 5 anencephalic newborns are reported.
(20) There were no stillbirths in the group and only one neonatal death of an anencephalic infant.
