Russian term or phrase: звенья одной цепи
Есть ли в английском схожая идиома? А то - links of one/the same chain - как-то странно звучит. Или это мне кажется?

Explanation:
я вижу несколько вариантов, какой лучше - зависит от контекста:
all cut from the same cloth
fall into the same pattern
all together make up a bigger picture [of something]
и т.п.

В таком случае я бы, видимо, написал еще чуть проще, примерно так: X and Y are two parts of a broader discipline

Explanation:
linked
These two disciplines are linked (or interlinked)/

Вообще-то идиома - это средство художественной выразительности и для перевода "текста медицинской тематики" (впрочем, как и любого другого специального текста) принципиального значения не имеет. Поэтому логичнее перевести по сути, тем более что иначе есть риск быть просто неправильно понятым.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Отличные варианты, Антон, спасибо. Я, наверное, приведу контекст. Может тогда Вам будет ещё проще мне помочь. На самом деле, текст у меня медицинской тематики. Т.е. там говориться, что такая-то и такая-то дисциплины акушерской практики - это звенья одной цепи.

agree  Erzsébet Czopyk: all cut from the same cloth - this is excellent but I suggest to provide more context "дисциплины акушерской практики - это звенья одной цепи" requires totally different style. Please provide more info/context WITH the question, not later.
