Voxy (New Zealand) - FASD Awareness
Day on Wednesday
This Wednesday is
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day, created to
increase our recognition of the risks associated with drinking
alcohol during pregnancy. There is no known type, or amount, of
alcohol that is safe to drink at any time during pregnancy. Just one
drink of alcohol during pregnancy places the baby at risk of FASD.

exposure increases anxiety-like behavior and glutamatergic

consumption during pregnancy produces a wide range of morphological
and behavioral alterations known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
(FASD). Among the behavioral deficits associated with FASD is an
increased probability of developing anxiety disorders.

Fetal Alcohol
Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide
range of anatomical and behavioral problems in children who are
exposed to alcohol during the prenatal period. There is no effective

the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this condition.

- FAS (Fetalt alkoholsyndrom) kostar samhället 14,4
miljarder
Kvinnor som
dricker alkohol under graviditeten riskerar att få barn med FAS
(Fetalt alkoholsyndrom). Barn med FAS får ofta problem med skolan,
och får senare i livet en nedsatt arbetsförmåga. De drabbas oftare
än andra av psykiska sjukdomar, hamnar lätt i missbruk och har
svårt att klara sig själva i det dagliga livet. I Sverige
uppskattas att 0,2 procent av befolkningen har FAS och år 2014
kostade FAS samhället 14,4 miljarder.

Nie pij za jego zdrowie
"Nie piję za

kilka lat temu abstynencję w czasie ciąży. Kampania dawno się

wiele matek nie zwróciło uwagi na wielkie bilbordy krzyczące na
ulicach polskich miast.
