Abstract

The circumstances and subsequent life events of the first twins to have been born in different countries are examined. Given that both twins were born in the United Kingdom, their common citizenship was never questioned. In contrast, twins born in Canada to a legally married gay transnational couple - composed of one American and one Israeli - were assigned as citizens of different nations and their parents were regarded as if unmarried. This essay is followed by reviews of research on the Hallermann-Streiff syndrome in monozygotic (MZ) twins, the effects of technology on conjoined twin separation, reciprocal deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) transplantation in MZ twins and new guidelines for managing multifetal pregnancies. Finally, media reports on a book by the world's oldest Auschwitz-Birkenau twin survivor, the passing of Dr Ian Wilmut, the identical twinship of Zhores Medvedev, another case of gay fathers with twin sons, twins and siblings admitted to medical school, and the first and fourth records for major league baseball twins are presented.

出生分开，但一起长大:在不同国家出生的双胞胎/双胞胎研究综述:同卵(MZ)双胞胎的Hallermann-Streiff综合征连体双胞胎分离技术的影响MZ双胞胎间反向DIEP移植多胎管理指南/媒体报道:世界上最年长的奥斯威辛-比克瑙双胞胎幸存者的书;伊恩·威尔穆特逝世;梅德韦杰夫是同卵双胞胎;有更多双胞胎儿子的同性恋父亲;双胞胎和兄弟姐妹被医学院录取;美国职业棒球大联盟双胞胎的第一和第四记录。

对在不同国家出生的第一对双胞胎的环境和随后的生活事件进行了研究。鉴于这对双胞胎都出生在英国，他们的共同国籍从未受到质疑。相比之下，一对合法结婚的跨国同性恋夫妇(一个美国人和一个以色列人)在加拿大所生的双胞胎被视为不同国家的公民，他们的父母被视为未婚。本文将对同卵双生子的Hallermann-Streiff综合征、技术对连体双生子分离的影响、MZ双生子的上下腹深穿支(DIEP)相互移植以及多胎妊娠管理新指南的研究进行综述。最后，媒体报道了世界上最年长的奥斯威辛-比克瑙双胞胎幸存者的一本书，伊恩·威尔穆特博士的去世，梅德韦杰夫的同卵双胞胎，另一个同性恋父亲有双胞胎儿子的案例，双胞胎和兄弟姐妹被医学院录取，以及棒球大联盟双胞胎的第一和第四记录。
