inquisitr.com - As Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome Story Trends, Public Warned Of Spectrum Disorders From Even
Light Maternal Drinking
Wednesday, fetal
alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) was trending on Facebook after a
profound article was featured by the Washington Post that told the
tragic story of a woman named Kathy Mitchell, who caused her own
daughter’s disability. Kathy later learned her daughter, Karli,
suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which was caused by her
own alcohol consumption while she was pregnant.
UNM Newsroom - May
leads research on preventing fetal alcohol syndrome
Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome (FAS) in the United States has long been estimated at no
more than three children per 1,000. A new study published in the
journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence reports that the prevalence of
fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is between 3 and 8 per 1,000 and when
combined with partial FAS (PFAS) the prevalence of both actually
ranges between 11 to 25 children per 1,000.

- Mother warns of consequences of drinking alcohol while pregnant
Kathy Mitchell
wants to share something with you. She's not proud of it, and it's
not a behavior she hopes you'll emulate. It's just the truth: As a
teen, Kathy drank alcohol while pregnant with her daughter, Karli. It
was a perilous if unwitting mistake that has defined both of their
lives.

Newborn addictions rise, triggering new hospital rules
Following an
increase in babies born with drug or alcohol dependencies in
Delaware, statewide hospital discharge forms for "high-risk"
cases will be amended to ensure that the baby will go home to the
safest environment and mom will have the necessary support system in
place.
UPCOMING
The 7th National Biennial Conference
on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
This interactive
2016 conference will provide an opportunity to be at the forefront of
addressing these issues. We will leverage the experience of the
diverse group of professionals, researchers, students, families and
individuals with FASD who attend to stimulate the discussion of
research, evidence for practice, models, and ideas to expand our
knowledge of how we can sustain and enhance the lives of those with
FASD.

Glia Perspective.
Alcohol
consumption during pregnancy can produce a variety of central nervous
system (CNS) abnormalities in the offspring resulting in a broad
spectrum of cognitive and behavioral impairments that constitute the
most severe and long-lasting effects observed in fetal alcohol
spectrum disorders (FASD).

Prenatal exposure
to ethanol results in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a
syndrome characterised by a broad range of clinical manifestations
including craniofacial dysmorphologies and neurological defects.

System - The investigation of the prenatal and postnatal alcohol
exposure-induced neurodegeneration in rat brain: protection by
betaine and/or omega-3
We aim to study
the effect of neurodegeneration on the brain of rat pups caused by
prenatal and postnatal ethanol exposure with modified liquid diet to
elucidate protective effects of betaine and omega-3 supplementation.
When ethanol is consumed during prenatal and postnatal periods, it
may result in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) in the offspring.

Brain: Is Any Amount Safe?
Heavy prenatal
alcohol exposure can have lifelong, disabling effects on brain and
cognition. Unlike animal studies, research on light-to-moderate
drinking in humans demonstrates less consistent impact.

- Improving health promotion related to fetal alcohol
spectrum disorder (FASD), the need for a framework
Alcohol use during
pregnancy is one of the leading preventable causes of intellectual or
developmental disability. This situation clearly warrants
intervention. The complexity of intervention development concerning
FASD is overlooked in health promotion. Evidence-based health
promotion intervention aimed at the field of FASD is a complex
process.

of Fetal Alcohol Exposure on Molecular and Epigenetic Mechanisms of

It is well
established that during prenatal and early postnatal period brain
development is very susceptible to injury caused by environmental
factors. Although a number of definitions and improvements have been
made in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the etiological aspects
remain unclear.
