Abstract:
Conjoined twins have long been of interest to the medical community. Evaluation is complex and tailored to the unique variant. A thorough multidisciplinary work-up, including surgical specialties, nursing, anesthesia, and critical care, must be performed prior to proceeding with surgical separation. Outcomes have become more predictable with certain advances such as tissue expansion and three-dimensional modeling. A number of important lessons learned from previous cases can be used to improve future outcomes.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Equivalent Couples
Two couples are considered to be equivalent if they produce the same rotational effect on a rigid body. In other words, the two couples have the same magnitude and act in the same direction, causing the same angular displacement or acceleration in the body.
For instance, consider two couples lying in the plane of the page, with one having a pair of equal...
