  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • The second of the formerly conjoined twin girls who was separated in a seven-hour surgery earlier this year has been discharged after spending 482 days in hospital. Hope Elizabeth Richards was allowed home last week [April 25, 2018], eight weeks after her sister Anna Grace was discharged from Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston on March 2. Her mother Jill Richards said: “This is the moment it all feels real. “We are so excited for Hope to join Anna and her brothers at home. Our family is eternally thankful for the doctors, nurses, child life specialists, physical therapists and many others at Texas Children’s who took incredible care of our precious girls.” The twins, who are now aged 16 months, were successfully separated during a mammoth surgery that involved a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons on January 13. The sisters were previously conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation. The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound. The family was then referred to Texas Children's Fetal Center, where they underwent extensive prenatal testing, consultation and development of plans to achieve a safe delivery and postnatal care.  They temporarily relocated to Houston in order to deliver at Texas Children’s and be close to the girls during their hospital stay. 25 Apr 2018 Pictured: CAPTION: Formerly conjoined twin girl Hope Elizabeth Richards is released from Texas Children’s Hospital on April 25, 2018, and her sister Anna Grace, who was discharged six weeks prior, was there to meet her sibling.

  • Meet the mother duck who every year gives birth to her chicks in a hospital before parading them down the hallways. Once a year, every year, the patients at the continuing care unit of the University of Rochester's Thompson Health hospital, in Canandaigua, New York, are treated to this adorable sight. The local duck returns every spring to the same courtyard in the middle of the hospital to lay her eggs. Amazingly, the cunning bird has even learned to knock on the doors to be allowed into the building to get to her favorite nesting spot. Then without fail, once her chicks have hatched, she marches them through the hospital back to the surrounding woodland. To the delight of the patients, the little ducks can be seen following their mom throughout the hospital’s hallways, out the door, and into a grassy area behind the facility. The duck follows the same path every year, and facility services staff use old signage to guide her and the ducklings through the halls gently. Amazingly, despite it being an annual occurrence, this is the first time staff has attempted to document the adorable "rite of spring". A statement released by care staff said: “Every year, without fail, a mama duck chooses one of the enclosed courtyards at our M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center to lay her eggs and take care of her babies.

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Dinesh Dubey in India Something that started as a small white dot in the eyeball of three-year boy six months ago, has now gone on to cover his entire left eye and put his life at risk. Keffrien Reang who hails from Dhalai district of north Indian state of Tripura, has been diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a cancer that starts in the retina, the very back part of the eye. His poor parents are unable to bear the expenses of his treatment. Sanjit Reang (35), a small-time farmer who makes around Rs 4000 every month, and finds it difficult to support a family of five - his wife and three children. The disease started with a small white dot in the eyeball some eight to nine months ago. His parents took him to local doctors and "My second son has been diagnosed with ratinoblastoma last year. I know his condition is getting worse by the day, but I am not able to do anything for him,” says Reang. Around a year ago, they spotted a small off-white spot on the eyeball. The family initially thought it is a minor problem and ignored it thinking that the spot would go away on its own. But when the problem started to get worse, they took him to the local hospital. The doctors prescribed some ointments and medicines and sent them back, assuring that the problem would be solved. As time passed by, the problem started to worsen. “It was then we decided to take him to Agartala medical hospital. The boy was then referred to the regional cancer hospital and from there the boy was referred to another facility but nobody could give a proper diagnosis," says Reang. After a month-long diagnosis, the Agartala facility referred them to Regional Cancer Hospital in the same town. From there, they referred him to Shankar Netralaya in Guwahati in the neighbouring state of Assam. In the end, doctors at Dr B Barroah Cancer Institute, Guwahati, diagnosed that the boy has a retinoblastoma in the left eye. But the family couldn’t go ahead with his treatment as they couldn’t afford

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty. They cannot communicate. They cannot bathe themselves. They

The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty.

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty. They cannot communicate. They cannot bathe themselves. They
