Twin pregnancies are classified into bilateral (one fetus in each uterine horn: 44%) and unilateral (both fetuses in the same uterine horn, right or left: 56%). The incidence of abortion during mid- to late gestation is approximately 1% in cows carrying bilateral twins and more than 40% in cows carrying unilateral twins. In this period, abortion seems most commonly associated with infectious agents. However, although this imbalanced abortion rate may imply that unilateral twin pregnancy is a non-infectious abortion factor, few available data can describe the cause of abortions in twin pregnancies. The current findings suggest that unilateral twin pregnancy is a non-infectious factor required for the etiological diagnosis of abortion in dairy herds.

We describe a set of monozygotic twins with Glutamate Ionotropic Receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate Type Subunit 2B-related neurodevelopmental disorder (GRIN2B-ND) who exhibited distinct clinical and imaging characteristics due to a de novo heterozygous pathogenic variant in the gene (c.2453T > C, p.Met818Thr).

Background: Disturbances in the intricate processes that control craniofacial morphogenesis can result in birth defects, most common of which are orofacial clefts (OFCs). Nonsyndromic cleft lip (nsCL), one of the phenotypic forms amongst OFCs, has a non-random laterality presentation with the left side being affected twice as often compared to the right side. This study investigates the etiology of nsCL and the factors contributing to its laterality using a pair of monozygotic twins with mirror-image cleft lip.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how various prenatal risk factors influence developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in newborns, specifically looking at the Graf grading system.
- Data was analyzed from 112 newborns diagnosed with DDH, focusing on specific risk factors like breech presentation, firstborn status, and other orthopedic conditions, using logistic regression to evaluate their impact.
- Results indicated that some factors, such as lower limb malformations, may protect against unstable DDH, while others, particularly for females, increased the risk of developing unstable forms of the condition.
Twin Pregnancy in the Martina Franca Donkey Breed Managed by Natural Reduction and Post-Fixation Manual Crushing.

Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on twin pregnancies in donkeys, which can lead to abortions and high neonatal mortality, emphasizing the importance of detecting and managing these pregnancies effectively.
- Out of 25 detected twin pregnancies, a significant majority (87.5%) of unilateral cases experienced natural reduction by 20-21 days after ovulation, while bilateral cases did not.
- The overall pregnancy rate after 28 days was 92%, and the live foal rate was 87%, indicating that allowing natural reduction or manually crushing one embryo can lead to successful outcomes for single pregnancies.
