Caregivers Ask For More Help On FASD
Northland families
and caregivers struggling to cope with young people affected by Fetal

Showgrounds in Whangarei to learn more about the disorder, share
their experiences, and call for help.

'We hoped he could be helped': Shamattawa chief says community
reached out to suspect in bus driver's killing
Thomas was born in
June 1994 with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and placed in
foster care after birth, his lawyer said. "His mother drank
'super juice' constantly while she was pregnant with him and as a
result he was seized," Theodore Mariash told court during a
sentencing hearing in November 2016.
Omaha World-Herald
(USA) - Whiteclay street ministry team proposes new effort to fix
alcohol-related problems: buy out the liquor stores
The stores sell
the equivalent of 3.5 million cans of beer a year. Almost all sales
are to residents of the adjacent Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where
alcohol is officially banned, but alcoholism and fetal alcohol
syndrome are rampant.

Parental
alcoholism can cause a wide range of negative consequences for
children and families– including everything from injuries caused by
alcohol-related car accidents to chronic anxiety problems later in
life for the children of alcoholics. However, alcohol may have its
most devastating effects when it’s consumed during pregnancy.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder as a Disability in Australia for
Access to Support under the NDIS
Mental Health
Carers NSW (MHCN) is concerned that Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
(FASD) is not recognised as a disability in Australia and thus almost
no specific programs have been developed to address this disability
across the community.

UPCOMING EVENTS
7th International Conference on
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (Canada) - March 1-4, 2017
This advanced
level conference continues to bring together experts from multiple
disciplines to share international research. It provides an
opportunity to enhance understanding of the relationships between
knowledge and research and critical actions related to FASD.
RESEARCH
Journal of
Pediatric Neuropsychology - Neuropsychological Aspects of
Prevention and Intervention for FASD in Great Britain
We report findings
from the UK National FASD behavioural clinic and how these
presentations lead to challenges in improving the clinical and
research situation in the UK. The UK has the potential to improve
research, recognition, provision and behavioural management
strategies for this group quickly; however, this will need a more
structured approach than is currently in existence.
J Popul Ther Clin
Pharmacol. - Fetal Alcohol Research Caring for Patients with
Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: A Needs Assessment.
This study showed
that few respondents were satisfied with their current FASD knowledge
or practice behaviours. Continuing FASD education, particularly
through online courses, was strongly desired.
Journal of
visualized experiments: JoVE - Wheel Running and Environmental
Complexity as a Therapeutic Intervention in an Animal Model of FASD.
Aerobic exercise
(e.g., wheel running (WR) extensively used in animal research)
positively impacts many measures of neuroplastic potential in the
brain, such as rates of adult neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and
expression of neurotrophic factors in rodents.
Acta Paediatrica -
How much is too much? The implications of recognising alcohol as a
teratogen
The paper ‘Higher
alcohol consumption in early pregnancy or low-to-moderate drinking
during pregnancy may affect children's behaviour and development at
one year and six months’ by Sundelin-Wahlsten et al. [1] in this
issue of Acta Paediatrica, raises a number of issues about several
fundamental aspects of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)
research.
Acta Paediatrica -
Higher alcohol consumption in early pregnancy or low-to-moderate
drinking during pregnancy may affect children's behaviour and
development at one year and six months
Our results
suggested that low-to-moderate alcohol consumption during pregnancy
may negatively influence a child's development and behaviour in
several ways.
Alcoholism -
Impact of the CHOICES intervention in preventing alcohol-exposed
pregnancies in American Indian women
Even with minor
changes to make the CHOICES intervention culturally and
linguistically appropriate and the potential threats to program
validity those changes entail, we found a significant impact in
reducing AEP risk.
Community Mental
Health Journal - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders:
Characteristics, Complications, and Treatment
There is no cure
for FASD, but research shows that early intervention and life-long
support help those born with FASD to manage the difficulties that
come with it. This paper examines the characteristics, complications,
and treatment for FASD.
Alcohol - Changes
to histone modifications following prenatal alcohol exposure: An
emerging picture
Epigenetic
mechanisms are important for facilitating gene-environment
interactions in many disease etiologies, including Fetal Alcohol
Spectrum Disorders (FASD).

alcohol spectrum disorder and comorbid psychiatric disorder
This case study

forensic psychiatric patients diagnosed with comorbid mental illness
and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).

Cell death and
Disease - Prenatal alcohol exposure impairs autophagy in neonatal
brain cortical microvessels
Brain
developmental lesions are a devastating consequence of prenatal
alcohol exposure (PAE). We recently showed that PAE affects cortical
vascular development with major effects on angiogenesis and
endothelial cell survival.
Journal of
Psychiatric Research - Assessment of tobacco, alcohol and
cannabinoid metabolites in 645 meconium samples of newborns compared
to maternal self-reports
Prenatal
psychoactive substance exposure has significant impact on neonatal
health and child development and the development of reliable
biomarkers is critical. Meconium presents several advantages for
detecting prenatal exposure to psychoactive substances, as it is easy
to collect and provides a broad time frame of exposure (third
trimester).

GABAergic
Interneuronal migration constitutes an essential process during
corticogenesis. Derived from progenitor cells located in the
proliferative zones of the ventral telencephalon, newly generated
GABAergic Interneuron migrate to their cortical destinations.
