Yet U.S. policy in Afghanistan, borne out of ignorance and/or willful neglect, appears bent on doing both as America's miscalculations continue to breathe life into a rag-tag acephalic insurgency - misbegotten strategies that shall likely yield a foreign military presence in Central Asia until the end times. ❋ Michael Hughes (2010)
Using color and power Doppler on ultrasound, complete occlusion of blood flow to the acardiac/acephalic twin was confirmed. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The term “reversed perfusion” is used to describe this scenario because blood enters the acardiac/acephalic twin through reversed flow through its umbilical artery and exits through the umbilical vein, which is opposite to the normal blood supply of the fetus. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The reversed arterial flow in the acardiac/acephalic twin should be documented using color flow Doppler. ❋ Unknown (2010)
When the acardiac/acephalic twin outweighs the pump twin by more than 50 percent, death occurs in 64 percent of cases. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This is especially true when the acardiac/acephalic twin is greater than 50 percent of the size of the pump twin by calculated estimated weight. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In the TRAP sequence, the acardiac/acephalic twin receives all of its blood supply from the normal, or so-called pump twin. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Twin A was a typical acardiac/acephalic twin with massive diffuse soft tissue edema and an incompletely formed skeleton with no normal head structures, no normal stomach, kidneys or urinary bladder, and the absence of normal cardiac structures. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of blood supply to acephalic twin The patient and her husband were of Brazilian origin and spoke only Portuguese, requiring the presence of a translator throughout their stay in our Center. ❋ Unknown (2010)
If the acardiac/acephalic twin outweighs the pump twin by more than 75 percent, death occurs in 95 percent of cases. ❋ Unknown (2010)
When the volume of the acephalic twin was calculated, it was found to be 130 percent the size of the normal twin placing it in to a greater than 95 percent risk category for significant pregnancy complication. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The traditional MSM is acephalic (sp) visa vis McCain's ads. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Sorry, but it's fun to see an acephalic cut loose. ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)
I admit, certain Republicans justly feel kinship with acephalic fetuses. ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)
Fortunately for the acephalic trisomy 18 fetuses, whose gross imperfections are not detected till the second trimester, they can never develop the parts of the brain that enable them to feel pain. ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)
Women in the yards frequently give birth to acephalic (headless) stillborn children, one of the most extreme signs of toxic lead poisoning. ❋ Unknown (2008)
