69 years in the outfox made you a fucking cephalic!

yes--you can usually recognize us by our salt-and-pepper beards and relative lack of cephalic hair

RFK eats roadkill and had a worm living in his head. Those are two subjects he could speak on knowledgeably, and I still wouldn't trust his opinion on cephalic parasite husbandry or how to stew a squashed possum. His opinions on Arab contributions to science and art mean nothing.

As with the largest sharks, reef manta rays feed exclusively on tiny plankton and small fish. With massive mouths agape and cephalic fins unfurled, they funnel water through their mouths and over their gills, where specially adapted gill rakers filter out the plankton.

The veins of the arm and hand carry oxygen-poor blood back toward the heart. Major superficial veins include the cephalic, basilic, and median cubital veins. Smaller veins in the forearm, palm, and fingers collect blood and drain into larger vessels, supporting continuous circulation.

and the interaction between spinorphin and sumatriptan was investigated. Spinorphin dose-dependently alleviated cephalic and extracephalic mechanical hypersensitivity, reduced c-Fos levels, decreased CGRP concentrations in the TG and TNC, and inhibited meningeal mast cell (🧵 5/9)

While we were there, I noticed him scoping out some of the monster dudes who were doing curls, and I asked him why (friend was and is straight).

His answer: "I'm trying to get their veins" (referring to the cephalic vein that runs over the biceps and is like 80% genetics and 10% body fat).

Close! These are mobula rays, which are in the same family as mantas, but are slightly smaller and have different, less mobile, cephalic fins near their mouths.

Manta rays have the largest brain-to-body ratio of any fish, up to 10 times larger than a whale shark's.

They can recognise themselves in a mirror, a test passed by very few animals on Earth, dolphins, great apes, elephants.

Tattoo that reads “22cm superficial cephalic vein thrombosis” would a conversation starter in everyday life and hard to ignore in a medical setting (sounds fucking annoying. hope you’re otherwise ok).

Hi medical peeps. I have a 22cm superficial cephalic vein thrombosis. Had multiple treatments but no luck.

I need to make sure no-one ever tries to inject into or put a cannula there again. Thinking a tattoo that basically says NO ENTRY.

What words would make sense to you medically?

Cephalic Carnage used to do "chick pits" at their shows pretty often. There was always some creepy loser who ran in there and those grindcore ladies would fuck his shit up.

JMIR Pediatrics: Agreement and Screening Performance of an App-Based Cranial Shape Assessment Tool Compared With a 3D Scanner in Municipal #Child Health Checkups in Japan: Instrument Validation Study
Agreement and Screening Performance of an App-Based Cranial Shape Assessment Tool Compared With a 3D Scanner in Municipal #Child Health Checkups in Japan: Instrument Validation Study
Background: Positional cranial deformities are common in infancy. Smartphone-based apps are increasingly used to assess infant head shape, but evidence comparing these tools with 3D scanners across age groups in community-based settings remains limited. Objective: This study evaluated age-stratified agreement and screening performance of a mobile app for estimating Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index (CVAI) and Cephalic Index, compared with a 3D scanner, when used by a trained examiner during routine municipal health checkups in Japan. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Goto City, Japan, between May 2023 and March 2025. Independent, age-specific cohorts of #Children attending municipal health checkups at 4, 18, and 42 months were included. Paired cranial measurements were obtained by a trained examiner using a VECTRA H2 3D scanner (Canfield Scientific Inc) and the mobile app. Agreement was assessed using mean differences, 95% limits of agreement (LoA), and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), with device-stratified sensitivity analyses. Screening performance was evaluated using sensitivity and specificity based on prespecified clinical thresholds. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were secondary exploratory analyses. The primary outcome was app-based CVAI for detecting scanner-defined moderate-or-worse plagiocephaly (CVAI≥7%). Secondary outcomes were app-based Cephalic Index for detecting brachycephaly (Cephalic Index>94%) and dolichocephaly (Cephalic Index

Beyond comorbidities, modifiable risk factors include inadequate acute treatment, acute medication overuse, sleep problems, excessive caffeine intake, physical inactivity, tobacco use, depression, anxiety, other chronic non-cephalic pain, overweight, allodynia & individual triggers .

I'm that kind of person who gets annoyed at fun facts like "a shrimp's heart is in its head" because the prosoma is not a head and neither is the heart located in its cephalic portion
