Abstract

Quadruplets are at elevated physical risks at prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal levels, relative to twins. A brief review of this area is followed by discussion of a female quadruplet with three co-quadruplet brothers. Next, several timely twin research reports are examined. The topics include antenatal corticosteroids and twins' neonatal outcomes, the meaning of fatherhood in families with twins, what doppelgängers (look-alikes) reveal about physical and behavioral similarity, and monozygotic (MZ) co-twin discordance for asymmetric pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy. A lawsuit involving alleged cheating on a medical school examination by identical twins is also reviewed. General interest stories cover opposite-sex twin Holocaust survivors, twin models at a Gucci fashion show, twins with different fathers, reunited female twins who entered the same convent, the death of an MZ female twin soldier during training, and the surgical separation of conjoined twins in Brazil.

四胞胎:风险，结果和一组四/双胞胎研究综述和诉讼:产前皮质类固醇和双胞胎的新生儿结局双胞胎的父亲;Doppelgängers和Similarity;非对称色素静脉旁脉络膜视网膜萎缩的同卵双胞胎差异/新闻:异性双胞胎大屠杀幸存者;Gucci的双胞胎模特;不同父亲的双胞胎;团聚的双胞胎进入同一修道院;一名双胞胎士兵在训练期间死亡;连体双胞胎的手术分离。

与双胞胎相比，四胞胎在产前、围产期和产后的身体风险都较高。简要回顾这一领域，然后讨论一个女性四胞胎与三个共四胞胎兄弟。接下来，几个及时的双胞胎研究报告进行了审查。主题包括产前皮质类固醇和双胞胎的新生儿结局，双胞胎家庭中父亲的意义，doppelgängers(看起来像)揭示了身体和行为的相似性，以及单卵(MZ)同卵双胞胎不对称色素静脉旁绒毛膜视网膜萎缩。另外，还讨论了涉嫌在医学院考试中作弊的同卵双胞胎的诉讼。大众感兴趣的故事包括大屠杀的异性双胞胎幸存者、古驰时装秀上的双胞胎模特、不同父亲的双胞胎、进入同一修道院的女双胞胎团聚、MZ女双胞胎士兵在训练中死亡、巴西连体双胞胎手术分离等。
