## Abstract Twins have been previously classified as either monozygotic or dizygotic. In recent years, fascinating, nonโtraditional mechanisms of twinning have been uncovered. We define chimerism versus mosaicism, touch on chimerism in the animal world, and explain timing of chimerism in humans. In

Food exposure can be significant but, particularly in fish and shellfish, it is mostly in organic fo
A new genus of the family Picornaviridae, Parechovirus, has recently been recognised on the basis of distinctive biological and molecular properties. In particular: parechoviruses exhibit characteristic effects on the host cell; cleavage of the capsid protein VP0, required for maturation of the viru
Purpose. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance of echogenic amniotic fluid. Methods. We prospectively studied 19 twin pregnancies in which the amniotic fluid in 1 sac was anechoic and that in the other sac was echogenic. Morphologic characteristics of amniotic fluid were assessed
