Spontaneous TAPS donors often have a larger placental share, but can be considerably smaller than their recipient co-twin. #tapssupport #tapsisreal bit.ly/3ajFJkb

That's a wrap! The PREIS School Monochorionic Twins course has finished, and we've heard so many good things! Many thanks to faculty, to PREIS School, and Kosmas Events for organising. We look forward to more events together! #TAPSSupport #PREISSchool #MonochorionicTwins

From funding research to connecting families, the TAPS Support Foundation is committed to raising awareness of Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence. Let's solve the puzzle that is TAPS. bit.ly/3dqdeTR #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence is now finally recognized as a separate, distinct disease of monochorionic twins. Celebrate with us and toast to a huge milestone in TAPS advocacy. #tapssupport #tapsisreal #tapstalkstuesday #tapsfacts #orpha617294 bit.ly/3zyT4QQ

Monochorionic twins share a single placenta with inter-twin vascular anastomoses, allowing the transfer of blood from one fetus to the other and vice versa. These anastomoses are the essential anatomical substrate... bit.ly/32kyi7D #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the most commonly known complication of twins and affects around 15% of these pregnancies. Learn more about the differences between TAPS, SFGR and TTTS on our website here: bit.ly/3E9rVFv #tapssupport #tapsisreal #ttts

What is Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence? A rare disease affecting monochorionic twins, it is often underdiagnosed, or worse, a missed diagnosis. It's time to start changing the way we talk about TAPS. Read more on our website: bit.ly/3mG2OCy #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Is it time to rethink TAPS screening? Parents of monochorionic twins are entitled to the information we have about TAPS, including the right to be monitored for it and given treatment options. Learn more about TAPS on our website: bit.ly/3mG2OCy #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Tweeling anemie polycytemie sequentie (TAPS) is een aandoening die kan voorkomen bij monochoriale tweelingzwangerschappen. Monochoriale tweelingen zijn identiek en delen één placenta. Lees meer:  bit.ly/3qxFKbj #tapssupport #tapsisreal #twinanemiapolycythemiasequence

We're all over social media. From Facebook, to YouTube - we have the latest information on TAPS, twin research and real stories. Don't forget to click follow or visit our website: bit.ly/33eXuNs . #tapssupport #tapsisreal

The Delphi criteria identified more severe cases likely to require intervention, and the delta PSV > 0.373 criteria identified milder cases, without a significant impact on neonatal outcomes. bit.ly/3eaHAZH #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Selective Fetal Growth Restriction happens in many monochorionic twin pregnancies, and is often found in TAPS twins as well. Learn the differences between TTTS, TAPS and SFGR here on our website: bit.ly/3E9rVFv #tapssupport #tapsisreal #SFGR

Donor twins are at a high risk of cognitive delays, and deafness. It's really important to advocate for the right care in your pregnancy: bit.ly/3s2JSPm #tapssupport #tapsisreal

While this information is based on "guesstimates," here's something to consider. Screening for TAPS is not routine, yet we estimate that approximately 60-90 sets of TAPS twins are born each day. Learn more on our website here: bit.ly/3mG2OCy #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is a newly described form of chronic twin transfusion. Previous observational studies noted a discordance between birth weight and individual placental share in TAPS. bit.ly/3tmJoFl #tapssupport #tapsisreal

TAPS staging before birth has changed. The new staging system is explained in our short video here, but you can also find out more about MCA dopplers here: bit.ly/3mDwbVT #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Despite popular belief, post-laser TAPS is rarer than spontaneous TAPS. It only happens in a small portion of an already small group of cases. MCA dopplers are still vital to detect it in utero though! #tapssupport #tapsisreal bit.ly/3sPhIeT

There is no international consensus on the optimal management for TAPS. Treatment groups differed significantly at baseline, hampering the reliability and generalizability of results. bit.ly/3dj9JhU #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Op de echo heb je gezien dat je een tweeling krijgt. De baby’s hebben een eigen vruchtzak en delen samen 1 moederkoek (placenta). De tweeling is dan 1-eiig. Ze hebben hetzelfde erfelijke materiaal. Lees meer: bit.ly/3Hl2h1J #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Post-laser TAPS was first described in 2006, in a paper by Robyr et al. Just 2 days later, a second paper was published online describing spontaneous TAPS, and giving it its name. bit.ly/32AXytG #tapssupport #tapsisreal

We don't know the best treatment for TAPS, but there are treatments. Laser surgery with the Solomon laser technique is one option. Learn more about it, and other treatments on our website here: bit.ly/3uNbolP #tapssupport #tapsisreal

It's important to establish early on the chorionicity of multiples so appropriate screening can be done. If the babies are sharing a placenta, then they'll be followed closely to check for complications like TAPS. Learn more: bit.ly/32AXytG #tapssupport #tapsisreal

New paper on spontaneous TAPS measured ferritin within 48 hours after birth. In 10 twin pairs, donors had lower iron and recipients higher iron. The authors recommend checking iron at birth in all TAPS twins. Full paper: nature.com/articles/s4137… #TAPSTwins #TAPSSupport

TTTS and TAPS can happen at the same time - in fact, between 9-18% of TTTS cases will also show signs of TAPS. Both are diseases of the placenta, but have different management, treatments& long term outcomes. Read more here: bit.ly/3E9rVFv #tapssupport #tapsisreal #ttts

Donor twins are vulnerable in TAPS, but none more vulnerable than in post-laser TAPS. Neonatal mortality runs at 26% for post-laser donor twins. MCA dopplers are vital. #tapssupport #tapsisreal bit.ly/304oAbB

Research into TAPS is vital. We need to know why donors are more seriously affected, and we need to know the best treatment for TAPS. The first thing that needs to be done is guidelines updated to include screening for TAPS #tapssupport #tapsisreal bit.ly/3mG2OCy

Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence is a rare disease of twins sharing a placenta. Affecting just 3-5% of monochorionic twin pregnancies, it's really important that we raise awareness, & support families with a diagnosis. Learn more: bit.ly/32AXytG #tapssupport #tapsisreal

There have been rare cases of TAPS diagnosed in dichorionic twins. It is extremely rare, but it has happened. There are also cases recorded in monochorionic, monoamniotic twins. #tapssupport #tapsisreal

Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence or #TAPS is a rare disease affecting twins sharing a placenta. Affecting only 3-5% of this small population, it is a newly discovered #raredisease. More: tapssupport.com/what-is-taps-i… #tapssupport #rarediseaseday #tapstwins #identicaltwins @tapssupport

The most reliable way to detect #TAPS is through mid-cerebral artery (MCA) #doppler. Screening for TAPS remains controversial even with almost 2 decades of research supporting this. tapssupport.com/mca-dopplers/ #tapssupport #rarediseaseday #tapstwins #identicaltwins @tapssupport

There are big differences in the number of connections in post-laser and spontaneous TAPS placentas. For post-laser cases, it's usually 1-2 on the outer edge. Spontaneous TAPS placentas have double this and are spread throughout. bit.ly/3a26WYj #tapssupport #tapsisreal

New paper on TAPS after the loss of one twin reviewed 39 cases. Most surviving twins were born in the third trimester, first brain scans were clear, deaths were rare. Read: obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…. Support: @footprintsbl @TheSkyeHighFdn #TAPSTwins #TAPSSupport
