Researchers
at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have identified
428 distinct disease conditions that co-occur in people with Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), in the most comprehensive review
of its kind.

the new
guidelines for pregnant women have now been updated in England, Wales
and Northern Ireland to be clear that no level of alcohol is safe to
drink in pregnancy.

plan
Marlborough
residents are being encouraged to have their say on a government
discussion paper on fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The document was
released by the Ministry of Health in December and contains
information that will inform an action plan on the disorder to be
released by the government in June.

through pregnancy
FRESH
worries have been raised over the amount of mothers who drink through
pregnancy in light of figures which show St Helens has the fourth
highest rate in the country for women admitted to hospital through
alcohol related illnesses.

The
Lancet - Comorbidity of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: a
systematic review and meta-analysis
Of 5068
studies found, 127 met eligibility criteria for data extraction. From
those studies, we identified 428 comorbid conditions co-occurring in
individuals with FASD, spanning across 18 of 22 chapters of the
ICD-10.

disorders in four rural communities in south africa: Prevalence and
characteristics
Prevalence
and characteristics of the continuum of diagnoses within fetal
alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) were researched in previously
unstudied rural, agricultural, lower socioeconomic populations in
South Africa (ZA).

- Worldwide Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: A
Systematic Literature Review Including Meta-Analysis
The
worldwide pooled prevalence estimates are higher than assumed so far,
but this was largely explained by geography and descent. Furthermore,
prevalence studies varied considerably in terms of used methodology
and methodological quality. The pooled estimates must therefore be
interpreted with caution and for future research it is highly
recommended to report methodology in a more comprehensive way.
ALCOHOLISM:
CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH - The Impact of Prenatal
Ethanol Exposure on Neuroanatomical and Behavioral Development in
Mice
In
utero alcohol, or ethanol (EtOH), exposure produces developmental
abnormalities in the brain of the fetus, which can result in lifelong
behavioral abnormalities. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is
a term used to describe a range of adverse developmental conditions
caused by EtOH exposure during gestation.
ALCOHOLISM:
CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH - Interhemispheric Functional
Brain Connectivity in Neonates with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure:
Preliminary Findings
Children
exposed to alcohol in utero demonstrate reduced white matter
microstructural integrity. While early evidence suggests altered
functional brain connectivity in the lateralization of motor networks
in school-age children with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), the
specific effects of alcohol exposure on the establishment of
intrinsic connectivity in early infancy have not been explored.

- Inhibition of Mammary Cancer Progression in Fetal Alcohol
Exposed Rats by β-Endorphin Neurons
Fetal
alcohol exposure (FAE) increases the susceptibility to
carcinogen-induced mammary cancer progression in rodent models. FAE
also decreases β-endorphin (β-EP) level and causes hyperstress
response, which leads to inhibition of immune function against
cancer.
ALCOHOLISM
- Maternal Exposure to Ethanol During Pregnancy and Lactation
Affects Glutamatergic System and Induces Oxidative Stress in
Offspring Hippocampus
Alcohol
abuse during pregnancy leads to intellectual disability and
morphological defects in the offspring. The aim of this study was to
determine the effect of chronic maternal ethanol (EtOH) consumption
during pregnancy and lactation on glutamatergic transmission
regulation, energy deficit, and oxidative stress in the hippocampus
of the offspring.

Fetal

Disorder (ADHD) are associated with a range of neurocognitive
impairments. Executive functioning deficits are a hallmark feature of
both disorders.
