Conjoined Twins with Two Heads and One Body Born in Gaza

Description

Doctors witnessed an extremely rare birth as conjoined twins were born in Gaza City's al-Shifa Medical Centre on Tuesday at 11:00 AM local time. The twins, whose gender has not yet been revealed, are the first such case in many years. They have two heads and two hearts, which beat simultaneously, but have one set of arms and legs. Due to their condition, the twins have a slim chance of surviving and are currently under intensive life support. Dr. Allam Abu Hamda, the head of the nursery at al-Shifa Medical, made clear just how rare this type of birth is. Although the condition is extremely rare, these twins are not the first set of conjoined siblings ever delivered in Gaza. Conjoined girls named Rital and Ritaj were born in the region on March 27 2010, but died shortly after being rushed to Saudi Arabia for specialist treatment. About half of conjoined twins are delivered stillborn, and the overall survival rate of is between 5 and 25 percent.

The infant cubs, two males called Hudson and Nelson, are still very fragile and are suckling from their mum inside the maternity den to gain strength. The little tykes weigh just over one pound and are about 5 inches long. However, they will grow to be among the largest land animals in the world. Adult male polar bears can weigh over 1,500 pounds and reach nearly 10 feet in length.

  • Natural Born Painkillers - Farmer Lets Scorpions Sting Him to Treat Body Aches

    Some scorpions can kill human beings, and it's no wonder that some people are deathly afraid of them. However, one man, a Cuban farmer named Julio Casanas, is not only not afraid, he purposefully allows scorpions to sting him regularly in order to treat his pain. There are over 1750 different species of scorpions and the fearsome arachnids can be found on every continent except for Antarctica. However, only 25 of those are known to have venom that can kill a human. Most of the time, scorpion stings are simply unpleasant and won't do human beings much harm, and, in Julio's case, may even do some good. The Cuban farmer showed Ruptly how he treats his body pains by allowing scorpions to sting him, Julio appears to be in good health at his farm in Los Palacios, and getting stung by scorpions actually appears to be helping. However, we definitely don't recommend trying Julio's natural remedy at home. Scorpion stings can have nasty effects, and some are even deadly, so if you are stung by a scorpion, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
