What's the difference between capitulum and eradiate?

Capitulum


Definition:

  • (n.) A thick head of flowers on a very short axis, as a clover top, or a dandelion; a composite flower. A capitulum may be either globular or flat.
  • (n.) A knoblike protuberance of any part, esp. at the end of a bone or cartilage. [See Illust. of Artiodactyla.]

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Excision of the comminuted segments of the fractured capitulum was imperative to allow an optimal return of elbow function.
  • (2) In two instances, after a successful reduction the unstable radial head was fixed with a percutaneous Kirschner wire inserted through the capitulum with the elbow flexed 90 degrees.
  • (3) The sizes of the bilateral capitulum of 467 jaws coming a paleoanthropological collection were evaluated by computer and statistically processed.
  • (4) The typical example is unfortunately the often missed dislocation of the capitulum radii in Monteggia-type lesions.
  • (5) At the junction of the two arms, where the arms join, the articular fossa receives the capitulum of the connecting piece which attaches the head of the spermatozoon to the tail.
  • (6) Differences in amplitude and in split-up of the sensory responses recorded in the popliteal fossa as compared with those recorded distal to the capitulum fibulae were of limited diagnostic value because of many false positive findings among patients whose peroneal palsy was not due to compression of the nerve at the capitulum fibulae.
  • (7) The main electrophysiologic findings showed a severe slowing of conduction velocity in the above-to-below capitulum fibulae segment and a striking reduction in the size of the compound motor action potential when the nerve was stimulated above the knee.
  • (8) These include (a) Gelfilm (no-graft) induction of tympanic membrane regrowth; (b) the use of tragal cartilage and perichondrium in columellization and in Type III neomyringostapediopexy; (c) the use of laboratory-prefabricated ossicular homografts to correct malleal-capitulum and malleal-footplate discontinuities more precisely; and (d) the circumferential approach (circumnavigation of patient's head) and anterior position of the surgeon in order to visualize the sinus tympani, retropyramidal, and retrofacial areas, obviating extensive posterior tympanotomy bone dissections.
  • (9) In 20% of the patients with slowing along the segment across the capitulum, conduction velocity was normal when measured from the superior retinaculum to the popliteal fossa.
  • (10) In the biting tick, larvae moved anteriorly and congregated especially in the capitulum; and the forward migration occurred even though no blood was ingested.
  • (11) The medial epicondyle is more dorsally angled, the medial lip of the trochlea is more pronounced and the capitulum is less spherical as compared to Cebupithecia.
  • (12) High-stability anatomic reduction of the ulnar fracture proved to be a prerequisite for safe stabilisation of the radial capitulum.
  • (13) Group 1: Patients who had the older prosthesis model with plastic capitulum pieces inserted, and Group 2: Patients who had the present prosthesis model with metal-capped capitulum pieces inserted together with acrylic cement fixation.
  • (14) While the X-ray from the date of accident only showed a tiny osseus avulsion fracture out of the base of the proximal phalanx II--in spite of the immediately taken accurate therapeutical provisions (by fixation with plaster and later on paviment dressing)--there took place a massive epiphyseonecrosis of the capitulum II within only three months.--The etiology of the necrosis--direct trauma of the nutritive arteries passing through the collateral ligaments--is discussed.
  • (15) The commonly affected sites are the femoral head, the femoral condyles, the humeral head, the talus and the capitulum.
  • (16) Straining is triggered by a connective-tissue and bony protuberance produced by mechanical irritation on the lateral capitulum mandibulae.
  • (17) The results refer to the movement of the discus and the capitulum mandibulae and to the effects of the musculus temporalis and of the facies articularis ossis temporalis.
  • (18) In all volunteers by the electric stimulation of the ulnar nerve in the region of the wrist and the peroneal nerve in the region of the fibular capitulum there have been measured the F wave latency, distal latency of M responses and the conduction time of the peripheral motor neuron has been calculated.
  • (19) In some cases pronounced wear of the metatarsal capitulum was seen, with synovitis of varying degrees of clinical severity.
  • (20) The diagnostic yield of different electrophysiological criteria was examined to establish whether a peroneal palsy was due to compression of the nerve in the region of the capitulum fibulae.

Eradiate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To shoot forth, as rays of light; to beam; to radiate.
