They are the earliest set of conjoined twins whose names are (purportedly) known. Lazarus and Joannes Baptista Colloredo (1617 — after 1646), autosite-and-parasite pair
Helen and Judith of Szony (Hungary, 1701 — 1723), pygopagus. Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874). The Bunker twins were born of Chinese origin in Siam (now  Thailand), and the expression Siamese twins is derived from their case. They were joined by the areas around their xiphoid cartilages, but over time, the connective tissue stretched. In 1834, a set of conjoined triplets were born in Cattania. Two of the heads shared a neck while the other head had its own. The infant, a male, was described by Galvagni. Millie and Christine McCoy (July 11, 1851 – October 8, 1912), (oblique pygopagus). The McCoy twins were born into slavery in Columbus County, North Carolina, United States. They went by the stage names "The Two-Headed Nightingale" and "The Eighth Wonder of the World" and had an extensive career before retiring to the farm on which they were born. Giacomo and Giovanni Battista Tocci (1875? — 1912? ), (dicephalus tetrabrachius dipus)
Josefa and Rosa Blazek (January 20, 1878 — March 30, 1922), pygopagus. The Blazek twins were born in Skrejšov, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). They began performing in public exhibitions at the age of 13, and their act later included Rosas son Franz. The sisters died in Chicago, Illinois. Born 20th century
Daisy and Violet Hilton of Brighton, England (1908–1969), pygopagus. The Hilton twins were performers who played musical instruments, sang, and danced.
Bronchopneumonia is a subtype of pneumonia. It is the acute inflammation of the bronchi, accompanied by inflamed patches in the nearby lobules of the lungs.It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia; but, in clinical practice, the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. The same organism may cause one type of pneumonia in one patient, and another in a different patient. Causes
Bronchopneumonia is usually a bacterial pneumonia rather than being caused by viral disease.It is more commonly a hospital-acquired pneumonia than a community-acquired pneumonia, in contrast to lobar pneumonia.Bronchopneumonia is less likely than lobar pneumonia to be associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Rather, the bronchopneumonia pattern has been associated mainly with the following: Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, E. coli and Pseudomonas. Pathology
Bronchopneumonia may sometimes be diagnosed after death, during autopsy. On gross pathology there are typically multiple foci of consolidation present in the basal lobes of the human lung, often bilateral. These lesions are 2–4 cm in diameter, grey-yellow, dry, often centered on a bronchiole, poorly delimited, and with the tendency to confluence, especially in children. Light microscopy typically shows neutrophils in bronchi, bronchioles and adjacent alveolar spaces. Treatment
Compared to pneumonia in general, the association between the bronchopneumonia pattern and hospital-acquired pneumonia warrants greater consideration of multiple drug resistance in the choice of antibiotics. See also
