[Title] => Formerly conjoined Pinoy twins in US turn 5
[Summary] =>
NEW YORK (AP) – Twin Filipino boys, born joined at the top of their heads, celebrated their improbable fifth birthdays Saturday, three and a half years after doctors separated them in a series of difficult surgeries.
Until 2004, Carl and Clarence Aguirre could not sit up, stand straight or look each other in the eye because of their unusual link.
But at a party at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx on Friday, they romped like healthy kids. Carl stuck his hand in the birthday cake. Clarence hung on to his mother, Arlene Aguirre, and ran about with a toy.

[Title] => Former conjoined twins celebrate third birthday
[Summary] => WASHINGTON — Formerly conjoined twins Carl and Clarence Aguirre celebrated their third birthdays yesterday at the Blythedale Children’s Hospital in New York, fighting over frosting and balloons and delighting in a very messy, chocolate cream-filled Sesame Street cake, doctors who attended the party said.
It was their first birthday celebration as separate individuals after the boys, who were born joined at the tops of their heads, were separated last August in a surgery at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center (CHAM), also in New York.

[Title] => Conjoined Pinoy twins separated in New York
[Summary] => NEW YORK — Conjoined twins Carl and Clarence Aguirre have finally been separated and are now "strong and stable" after a marathon operation that stretched into the wee hours Thursday.
Doctors, nurses and technicians applauded after the successful operation that ended at 3:20 a.m. (yesterday afternoon in Manila), said Steve Osborne, a spokesman for the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center here.
The two-year-old boys’ mother, Arlene Aguirre, burst into tears after being informed that she was "now the mother of two boys."

[Title] => Conjoined Pinoy twins survive riskiest surgery yet
[Summary] => Twins from the Philippines joined at the tops of their heads survived their third major operation, the riskiest yet in the long process of giving them separate lives.
After a nine-hour operation Friday, 22-month-old Carl and Clarence Aguirre were wheeled to the pediatric critical care unit to begin adjusting to rerouted circulation systems, said Pamela Adkins, spokeswoman for Montefiore Medical Center.
No detailed comment on the results of the surgery was expected before yesterday’s news conference in New York.

[Title] => US surgeons begin third surgery on Pinoy twins
[Summary] => NEW YORK (AFP) — US surgeons were to begin yesterday the third and potentially most dangerous stage of a months-long surgical process to separate 22-month-old Filipino twins joined at the head since birth.
The focus of the operation will be two large shared veins at the back of the conjoined twins’ heads, which risk being ruptured as doctors attempt to split them between the boys.
If the surgery is successful, the medical team at New York’s Montefiore Medical Center hope to carry out a fourth operation in May to finally separate the twins.
