Pregnant
women that smoke cigarettes on a daily basis can greatly harm their
fetus. The Tobacco smoke in cigarettes greatly reduces fetal growth
through the presence of nicotine, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide,
cadmium and various other aromatic hydrocarbons, but the two most
dangerous chemicals that are found in cigarettes are nicotine and
carbon monoxide.

Children
diagnosed with an FASD may have one or more of the following: birth
defects, intellectual or learning disabilities, behavior problems,
and trouble learning life skills. In recognition of April as Alcohol
Awareness Month, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has
released a 2-minute video to increase awareness that women should
abstain from drinking alcohol during pregnancy to prevent FASD.

infant care
Chemical
dependence in the mother may cause neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS)
in newborn. These effects have been observed in babies when their
mothers are dependent on opioids, stimulants, some sedatives and
alcohol. This syndrome has been evident in neonates even if the
mother stopped drug use within four weeks of birth.

RESEARCH
Science
Daily - Paying closer attention to attention
There
may be an overreporting of attention problems in children with fetal
alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), simply because parents and teachers
are using a misplaced basis for comparison. They are testing and
comparing children with FASD with children of the same physical or
chronological age, rather than with children of the same mental age,
which is often quite a lot younger.
Alcoholism
- Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on Testosterone and
Pubertal Development
This
study is the first to show a relation between prenatal alcohol
exposure and increased testosterone during adolescence and evidence
of decreased testosterone responsiveness in tissues related to
pubertal development in humans. Further studies examining androgen
receptor expression and other hormonal and cellular factors affecting
pubertal development may reveal important mechanisms underlying these
teratogenic effects of alcohol exposure.
BMC
Pregnancy and Childbirth - A comparison of the prevalence of
prenatal alcohol exposure obtained via maternal self-reports versus
meconium testing: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis
If
maternal self-reports are the sole information source upon which
health care professionals rely, a number of infants who were
prenatally exposed to alcohol are not being recognized as such.
However, further research is needed in order to validate existing
biomarkers, as well as discover new biomarkers, for the detection of
PAE.

juveniles but ameliorating in adults.
