The International Society for Twin Studies has lost a valued friend and colleague. Dr Louis Keith, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University, in Chicago, passed away on Sunday, July 6, 2014. His life and work with twins will be acknowledged at the November 2014 International Twin Congress in Budapest, Hungary. Next, twin research reports on the severity of asthma symptoms, a case of chimerism, and factors affecting DNA breakage and repair mechanisms are reviewed. Media reports cover twins born apart, elevated twin frequencies, a celebrity father of twins, and a family's decision to keep conjoined twins together.
国际双胞胎研究协会失去了一位珍贵的朋友和同事。芝加哥西北大学妇产科名誉教授路易斯·基思博士于2014年7月6日周日去世。他与双胞胎相关的生平及工作将在2014年11月于匈牙利布达佩斯举行的国际双胞胎大会上得到认可。接下来,将对关于哮喘症状严重程度、一例嵌合体病例以及影响DNA断裂和修复机制的因素的双胞胎研究报告进行综述。媒体报道涵盖了异地出生的双胞胎、双胞胎出生率上升、一位双胞胎名人父亲以及一个家庭让连体双胞胎不分离的决定。
