alcohol consumption during pregnancy across European countries
A study among over
7000 women in 11 European countries shows the proportion of women in
Europe who drink alcohol when they know they are pregnant is lowest
in Norway and highest in the UK.

Fetal alcohol

reservations. Shannon County, located on the Pine Ridge reservation,
also suffers from higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases,
obesity and smoking than the rest of the state, according to county
health rankings from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

(Canada) - The invisibility of people with developmental
disabilities
With the recent
federal commitment to increase mental health funding across Canada,
we need to turn our attention to people with developmental
disabilities – individuals who are currently invisible within
Canada’s mental health system. This group has some of the greatest
needs for mental health services and supports, yet is rarely
acknowledged or targeted in mental health efforts.

pregnancy
According to a new
survey that was conducted around 11 European countries and included
7,905 women, Britain (28.5 per cent) scored highest in alcohol
consumption during pregnancy, followed by Russia (26.5 per cent) and
Switzerland (20.9 per cent).

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY - Epigenetic
Mechanisms and Treatments of Fetal Alcohol Exposure-Induced Memory
Impairment and Metabolic Dysregulation
In my thesis work,
I aimed to identify underlying biological mechanisms of the
FAE-induced hippocampus-based cognitive deficits that would lead to
identify potential treatment targets to reverse the deficits.
Proceedings of the
West Virginia Academy of Science - Alterations in cell cycle
progression associated with transcription factor E2F1 in FASD
Phenotypes from
alcohol exposure during fetal development, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorders (FASD), include facial dysmorphology, neurological
underdevelopment and cognitive loss.
Proceedings of the
West Virginia Academy - Effects of alcohol on Chk2 expression and
cellular localization in a model of FASD and adult alcoholism
Fetal alcohol
Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are associated with reduced proliferation
and loss of large numbers of neural crest stem cells. Previous
studies suggest that alcohol increases oxidative stress inducing DNA
damage and increasing apoptosis in a p53 independent manor.
Proceedings of the
West Virginia Academy - Effects of Alcohol on CHK-1 and
Phospho-CHK-1 in Neuronal Stem Cell losses in FASD
Fetal Alcohol
Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are associated with changes in
proliferation and induced cell losses of neuronal stem cells during
development. Alcohol induced oxidative stress has been noted in
previous studies to cause chronic genomic instability and DNA damage.

needs in education : the lived experience
Parents of
students with special needs may experience stressors in association
with their interaction with the education system. Meetings with
multiple professionals can be intimidating, the process of assessment
can be confusing, terminology used may be unfamiliar, and realizing
their child is having challenges may be upsetting.

Preventing Alcohol-Exposed Pregnancies: A Randomized Controlled
Trial of a Self-Administered Version of Project CHOICES With College
Students and Nonstudents
Alcohol-exposed
pregnancies (AEPs) are a preventable cause of birth defects and
developmental disabilities for which many women are at risk. The
initial 5-session Project CHOICES intervention was found to prevent
AEPs.
Neuroscience -
Neonatal alcohol exposure reduces number of parvalbumin-positive
interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex and impairs passive
avoidance acquisition in mice deficits not rescued from exercise
Developmental
alcohol exposure causes a host of cognitive and neuroanatomical
abnormalities, one of which is impaired executive functioning
resulting from medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) damage.

neural stem cells for treating psychiatric symptoms associated with
fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and epilepsy
Brain insults with
progressive neurodegeneration are inherent in pathological symptoms
that represent many psychiatric illnesses. Neural network disruptions
characterized by impaired neurogenesis have been recognized to
precede, accompany, and possibly even exacerbate the evolution and
progression of symptoms of psychiatric disorders.
