Twin

Views today demonstrate a viable twin gestation at 16 weeks 2 days. Twin A: Maternal left, inferior, vertex presentation with posterior placenta. Fetal biometry appears symmetric and corresponds with stated EDD. Due to early gestational age detailed fetal anatomy was not assessed but is notable for symmetric choroids, intact ventral wall, visualization of stomach, bladder, and male genitalia. Amniotic fluid volume measures normally by MVP. Twin B: Maternal right, superior, transverse,…

Nature versus nurture is the long debate over whether humans are more influenced by nature or nurture throughout their lives (Englbrecht). The nature in nature versus nurture refers to how humans are influenced by their genes, and nurture refers to how humans are influenced by the environment around them (Englbrecht). Although there is a huge debate over which is more influential, both nature and nurture affect our lives in many different ways. It is not nature or nurture alone that makes…

Nature versus nurture might be the oldest debate in history. This debate can also be known as biology versus psychology, genes versus environment...etc. But what is this argument about anyway? The nature side of the argument represents the genes that is inside of all of us, from our own unique personality to our physical appearance.

The Controversy of Intelligence If you had been raised in a different environment, there are people who will say you would be just as intelligent as you are now, but there are also people who will say you would not have the same intelligence. For many years, psychologists have researched where intelligence comes from. Some say your intelligence is from nature. Some say it is from nurture. Others will say it is a combination of the two. The intelligence of a human has always been a controversy…

Tiffany is a 37yo, primigravida, who is currently 24 weeks 4 days. She is known to our office for her monochorionic twin gestation. She has had a somewhat shortened cervix and has been followed very closely. The cervix has decreased down to around 2.5 cm but there has been no evidence of a funnel. She also has a notable history of gastric bypass as well as partial gastrectomy due to a ruptured ulcer. During that hospital admission for the ruptured ulcer she had a cardiomyopathy and Afib. She…

Twins are alike in many ways but why? Is it in their nature, nurture, or because they spend so much time together? But what if two twins where adopted but two different families, taken out of the country they were born in, and where raised in two different countries. Are they alike then?

The other was adopted by a couple that lived in France. They…

This tends to occur in one of every 200,000 births, 50% of the cases are born dead and 75% belong to the female gender . The percentage of survival in Siamese twins ranges between 5% and 25%. The origin is not yet well defined, but it is thought that Siamese twins are the result of an aberration in the process of the formation of monozygotic twins, i.e. twins of…

Having a twin brother and having slight resemblance to him was the major source of my self-consciousness and agony throughout elementary and middle school. I was unaware that I would change my mannerisms and activities that I loved so I emulate his life. My twin refused to watch star wars or even play with legos, so I blocked off all my love and excitement from those activities so we would follow the same paths. I secretly wished that we looked more like identical twins than fraternal. I hated…

Two of my friends are twin sister and brother and they look very similar. If the boy wears fault long hair, sometime I think I meet his sister.

When he plays the online game, his sister usually spends times in studying or reviewing her class and so on. So why is…
