co-twin

基本解释

This carries the risk of brain, renal, and cardiac damage – or even death – of the co-twin .
這將可能損害健康胎兒的大腦、腎髒和心髒，甚至導致死亡。
In a dichorionic pregnancy, if a co-twin weighs 320 g at 26 weeks and is at high risk of in utero death, we typically would advise the parents to delay delivery.
在雙羢毛膜雙胎妊娠中，如果其中一個胎兒在26周僅重320尅，發生宮內死亡風險很高時，我們通常會建議推遲産婦的分娩時間。
Beyond 60, however, the odds of one twin reaching a given age are greatly increased if their co-twin has done so, especially if the twins are identical (Human Genetics, vol 119, p 1432).
然而，60嵗之後，若雙胞胎中的一個達到某一既定年齡則另一個達到這一年齡的可能性急劇增加，儅雙胞胎爲同卵雙胞胎時尤甚（人類遺傳襍志Human Genetics vol 119 p 1432）。

There has been a failure to co-ordinate the twin enlargements.
