Today is International TAPS Day.
Twenty years ago, twin anemia‑polycythemia sequence (TAPS) was first clearly identified as a distinct condition in monochorionic twins—one developing anemia, the other polycythemia, often without the amniotic fluid or growth differences typically seen in classical twin‑to‑twin transfusion syndrome. This breakthrough, along with subsequent research into both spontaneous and post‑laser TAPS, reshaped how clinicians understand these pregnancies and opened the door to new approaches in diagnosis, monitoring, and care.
Now, in 2026, the global community is recognizing a Year of TAPS to honor two decades of progress and to highlight the ongoing impact of this condition. TAPS affects families before birth, after delivery, and throughout long‑term development, making awareness and collaboration more important than ever.
We are proud to join the 20 Years of TAPS campaign, working to elevate understanding among clinicians, researchers, and families. Together, we aim to expand conversations around early detection, evidence‑based management, and long‑term follow‑up—ensuring that every family facing TAPS has access to the knowledge and support they deserve.

HS Ireland𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮 (𝗛𝗦)?
Understanding #hidradenitissuppurativa (HS) is difficult.
Explaining HS to your family, friends, employers, and others is challenging too.
Due to poor awareness, many family #doctors and other #healthcareprofessionals do not know about or understand HS.
This short video* (approx. 3.5 minutes) was designed to help you:
- understand what HS is
- explain HS to your family, friends, and others
- inform your doctor and others about HS
*Video was co-created by people with HS, a professional medical communications company, and consultant dermatologists.
