(South Africa) - Help women prevent FASD, says ACDP
There was a huge
need to prioritise helping women to understand and prevent Foetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), the African Christian Democratic
Party (ACDP) said on Tuesday.

address FASD in Kimberley, WA
A mobile community
justice centre has been proposed as an urgently needed circuit
breaker to help address Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder related
problems in the Kimberley.

do not get adequate support.

CfEEBC - Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and Employment – Supporting Adults with
FASD on the Job
This webinar
focuses on issues associated with employment for people living with
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which is an invisible,
neurodevelopmental disability caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.

AWS2015 Doug Shelton: FASD the hidden pandemic
Fetal alcohol
spectrum disorder (FASD) is a common but under recognised diagnosis
in our community that contributes to a multitude of poor long term
outcomes including adverse mental health, drug and alcohol abuse,
crime and gaol.

RESEARCH
Brain Research -
Atypical cortical gyrification in adolescents with histories of
heavy prenatal alcohol exposure
Prenatal alcohol
exposure can adversely affect brain development, although little is
known about the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on gyrification.
Gyrification reflects cortical folding complexity and is a process by
which the surface of the brain creates sulci and gyri.
Alcoholism:
Clinical and Experimental Research - The use of open- and
closed-loop control during goal-directed force responses by children
with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure
The results
indicate that alcohol-exposed children experience deficits in
completing goal-directed force responses that likely stem from an
alcohol-related insult to the central nervous system. Therapeutic
exercises should be designed to recalibrate internal timing systems
and improve visuomotor integration.
Neurotoxicology
and Teratology - Prenatal alcohol exposure, adaptive function, and
entry into adult roles in a prospective study of young adults
Although many
studies have demonstrated effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)
on physical, cognitive, and behavioral development in children, few
have focused on the long term effects on adults.
Alcohol - High
postnatal susceptibility of hippocampal cytoskeleton in response to
ethanol exposure during pregnancy and lactation
Ethanol exposure
to offspring during pregnancy and lactation leads to developmental
disorders, including central nervous system dysfunction. In the
present work, we have studied the effect of chronic ethanol exposure
during pregnancy and lactation on the phosphorylating system
associated with the astrocytic and neuronal intermediate filament
(IF) proteins: glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and
neurofilament (NF) subunits of low, medium, and high molecular weight
(NFL, NFM, and NFH, respectively) in 9- and 21-day-old pups.
Journal of
Neuroscience - Persistent interneuronopathy in the prefrontal
cortex of young adult offspring exposed to ethanol in utero
Gestational
exposure to ethanol has been reported to alter the disposition of
tangentially migrating GABAergic cortical interneurons, but much
remains to be elucidated. Here we first established the migration of
interneurons as a proximal target of ethanol by limiting ethanol
exposure in utero to the gestational window when tangential migration
is at its height.

Zeichen von FASD“
Schätzungen
zufolge werden in Deutschland 8.000 bis 10.000 Kinder mit einer
Fetalen Alkoholspektrumstörung (FASD) geboren. Damit ist FASD die
häufigste angeborene Behinderung in diesem Land.
