    Extractions: Health Science and Technology Gallery www.digitalism.org and was later coined by Jones and Smith (1973) Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) lies at the extreme end of the continuum of alcohol effects on the fetus with heavy persistent maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy contributing most significantly to the full blown syndrome. Clinically, three areas are affected: (1) prenatal and/or postnatal growth retardation (e.g. infants shorter in length and less in weight); (2) Central Nervous System (CNS) damage such as permanent and irreversible brain damage, learning and behavioral disorders, deficits in memory and attention, hyperactivity, speech and language delays, poor coordination; (3) head and facial abnormalities (e.g. small head circumference and abnormally small eyes). Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) diagnosed children have deficits in some or one of the above three areas of FAS and their mothers were found to drink smaller daily amounts of alcohol than mothers who had FAS offspring. It is expected that FAS children will have some degree of mental impairment, ranging from minimal brain dysfunction to severe mental retardation. For every child identified with FAS, there are several others who are affected by alcohol exposure but who lack the full set of characteristics of FAS. FAE is more common than FAS and is estimated to be 3-10 times that of those diagnosed with full FAS.

    Extractions: dqmcodebase = "nav/" //script folder location Esta página en Español Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition characterized by abnormal facial features, growth retardation, and central nervous system problems. It can occur if a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. Children with FAS may have physical disabilities and problems with learning, memory, attention, problem solving, and social/behavioral problems. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her unborn baby. There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant and there also does not appear to be a safe time to drink during pregnancy either. Therefore, it is recommended that women abstain from drinking alcohol at any time during pregnancy. Women who are sexually active and do not use effective birth control should also refrain from drinking because they could become pregnant and not know for several weeks or more.

Who is at greatest risk of giving birth to a child with fetal alcohol syndrome? How we can reduce FAS? Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a serious health problem that tragically affects its victims and their families, but that is completely preventable. Causing a child to suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome is really nothing short of child abuse and it lasts for life. Babies born with FAS tend to weigh less and be shorter than normal. They usually suffer from: Victims of fetal alcohol syndrome often experience mental health problems, disrupted school experience, inappropriate sexual behavior, trouble with the law, alcohol and drug problems, difficulty caring for themselves and their children, and homelessness.

    Extractions: About the Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center In 1985, a group of Native Americans living on or near the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota formed the Native Amercian Community Board (NACB) to address pertinent issues of health, education, land and water rights, and economic development of Native American people. In 1986, the Native American Community Board incorporated under the laws of South Dakota as a non-profit tax-exempt 501 (c) 3 organization. The first NACB project developed was "Women and Children in Alcohol," a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome program. This program defined the direction of subsequent health work. In February of 1988, the NACB opened the Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center, the first resource center located on a reservation in the US. In October of 1991, after a long legal battle, the Domestic Violence Program of the Resource Center opened a shelter for battered women a few blocks away from the Resource Center. The shelter is a modern, spacious, four-bedroom home and is able to provide women and their children with a safe place to escape domestic violence and sexual assualt. The Resource Center has expanded to include many programs benefitting people locally, nationally, and internationally. Some examples are the Domestic Violence Program, AIDS Prevention Program, Youth Services which include the Child Development Program and the Youth Wellness Program, Adult Learning Program, Environmental Awareness and Action Project, Cancer Prevention, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Awareness Program, Clearinghouse of Educational Materials, Food Pantry

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Alcohol use or abuse by the pregnant woman subjects her to the same range of risks that alcohol has in the general population. However, it poses extreme and unique risks to the fetus and is associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Timing of alcohol use during pregnancy is also of importance. Alcohol use during the first trimester is more damaging than during the second trimester, which is, in turn, more damaging than use in the third trimester. Alcohol ingested by a pregnant woman easily passes across the placental barrier to the fetus. Because of this, drinking alcohol can adversely affect the development of the baby.

39. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
    When a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy, she risks giving birth to a child who will be born with fullblown fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/fas.html
    
    Extractions: What is the leading known cause of mental and physical birth defects, surpa ssing both spina bifida and Down syndrome ? Which drug produces more severe abnormalities in a developing fetus than heroin, cocaine, or marijuana? The answer to both questions is the same: alcohol. Alcohol (wine, beer, or liquor) is the most common preventable cause of birth defects in the United States. When a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy, she risks giving birth to a child who will pay the price - in mental and physical deficiencies - for the rest of his life. Yet many pregnant women do drink alcohol, and it is estimated that one in every 750 infants is born with full-blown fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) each year in the United States. Another 50,000 children are born with fetal acohol effects (FAE) each year. Read this article to learn more about FAS and FAE, including characteristics and risk factors. Signs and Symptoms of FAS FAS is identified as a pattern of physical, developmental, and functional abnormalities in a child resulting from a woman's drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Characteristics of children with FAS include: Low birth weight Small head circumference Failure to thrive Developmental delay Organ dysfunction Facial abnormalities, including smaller eye openings, flattened cheekbones, and indistinct philtrum (an underdeveloped groove between the nose and the upper lip)

    Extractions: Previous Back to Index Next FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME Is it worth the risk? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is now widely recognized in the United States as the leading known cause of birth defects with accompanying mental retardation. The next two leading causes are Down's syndrome and spina bifida. FAS is the only one of the three birth defects which is entirely preventable! FAS is the leading cause of mental retardation in the Western world. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the diagnosis given to children who have been seriously affected by their mother's alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The alcohol-related birth defects result in physical abnormalities and developmental disabilities. The term FAS was coined in 1973 by Drs. Jones and Smith and associates at the School of Medicine, University of Washington. Children who are not as severely affected and who lack the full set of FAS characteristics are diagnosed as having Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Estimates in the incident rate of FAS cases vary between 1.7 and 5.9 per 1,000 live births depending on the population. Authorities at the University of Washington estimate 2.2 cases per 1,000 live births and about three times that many FAE babies are born each year. This means as many as 50,000 babies are born yearly in the United States with alcohol-related problems.
