Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health - Understanding
the Relationship between Predictors of Alcohol Consumption in
Pregnancy: Towards Effective Prevention of FASD
Prenatal
alcohol exposure can produce serious changes in neurodevelopment that
last a lifetime, as well as a wide range of congenital abnormalities,
and is the main non-hereditary, avoidable cause of intellectual
disability in developed countries.
Alcohol
- Prenatal alcohol exposure in the second trimester-equivalent
increases the seizure susceptibility in developing rats
We
have previously reported that prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) in the
2nd trimester-equivalent of gestation is associated with increased
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced generalized tonic-clonic seizures
(GTCSs) prevalence in postpartum developing rats.
Journal
of Public Health - Assessing the prevalence of alcohol consumption
in early pregnancy using blood biomarker analysis: a consistent
pattern across north-east England?
These
data support our earlier work. Prevalence rates according to CDT and
GGT analysis were similar in both areas, suggesting similar patterns
of sustained alcohol use in pregnancy across the region.
Genetics
and Genomic Medicine - 18q12.3‐q21.1 microdeletion detected in
the prenatally alcohol‐exposed dizygotic twin with discordant fetal
alcohol syndrome phenotype
The
microdeletion emphasizes the importance of adequate chromosomal
testing in examining the etiology of complex alcohol‐induced
developmental disorders. Furthermore, the genotype‐specific
decreased DNA methylation at the IGF2/H19 locus cannot be considered
as a biological mark for PAE in adult WBCs.
Progress
in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry - Curcumin
treatment attenuates alcohol-induced alterations in a mouse model of
foetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Alcohol
exposure during development produces physical and mental
abnormalities in the foetus that result in long-term molecular
adjustments in the brain, which could underlie the neurobehavioural
deficits observed in individuals suffering from foetal alcohol
spectrum disorders.

As
expected, participants with both FAS and ASD were rated by parents as
having deficits in everyday executive function. Areas of weakness
were distinct for FAS and ASD. In line with existing literature,
participants with FAS had elevated scores for working memory and
plan/organize; participants with ASD had elevated scores for shift
(Rasmussen et al., 2007;
