Abstract
Giving twins similar names places them at increased risk for mixed credit reports as they enter young adulthood and beyond. Attorneys specializing in this area of the law are often required to manage lawsuits againt the agencies responsible for such errors. This overview is followed by summaries of twin research and reports of treating twins with central nervous system infection, twins with COVID-19, and twins with septal aneurism, as well as a review of the comparative outcomes of twins born via assisted reproduction versus natural conception and a tribute to the late Dr Helen E. Fisher. Human interest items include a twins' rally for Israeli twins held hostage in Gaza, a tribute to the founding member of the National Mothers of Twins Clubs (now Multiples of America), a quadruplet birth, an identical twin politician, and identical twin actresses.
