RESEARCH
Alcoholism - Metabolic
Biomarkers of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure in Human Embryonic Stem Cell–Derived
Neural Lineages
EtOH exposure induces statistically significant changes to the
metabolome profile of human embryoid bodies, neural progenitors, and neurons.
Several of these metabolites are normally present in human serum, suggesting
their usefulness as potential serum FASD biomarkers. These findings suggest the
biochemical pathways that are affected by EtOH in the developing nervous system
and delineate mechanisms of alcohol injury during human development.

Alcoholism - Opposing Actions of
Ethanol and Nicotine on MicroRNAs are Mediated by Nicotinic Acetylcholine
Receptors in Fetal Cerebral Cortical–Derived Neural Progenitor Cells
EtOH and nicotine exert mutually antagonistic, nAChR-mediated effects
on teratogen-sensitive miRNAs in fetal NSCs. These data suggest that concurrent
exposure to EtOH and nicotine disrupts miRNA regulatory networks that are
important for NSC maturation.

Alcoholism - Delays in Auditory
Processing Identified in Preschool Children with FASD
Both sensory and cognitive deficits have been associated with prenatal
exposure to alcohol; however, very few studies have focused on sensory deficits
in preschool-aged children. As sensory skills develop early, characterization
of sensory deficits using novel imaging methods may reveal important neural
markers of prenatal alcohol exposure.

Alcohol - Ontogenetic
differences in ethanol's motivational properties during infancy
These results illustrate an ontogenetic change in the motivational
properties of ethanol, with sensitivity to its appetitive properties declining
and responsiveness to the aversive properties increasing with age during early
infancy.

Alcohol - Neonatal screening for
prenatal alcohol exposure: Assessment of voluntary maternal participation in an
open meconium screening program
We conclude that despite the potential benefits of such screening programs,
maternal unwillingness to consent, likely due to fear, embarrassment, and
guilt, may limit the effectiveness of meconium testing for population-based
open screening, highlighting the need for public education and social marketing
efforts for such programs to be of benefit.

Alcoholism - False-Positive
Meconium Test Results for Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters Secondary to Delayed Sample
Collection
Meconium analysis for fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) is a validated
method for identifying heavy prenatal ethanol (EtOH) exposure. This study
investigated whether delayed sample collection can result in false-positive
test results for FAEEs because of collection of samples potentially
contaminated with postnatally produced stool.
