    Extractions: -Michel Eyquem Montaigne Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a pattern of malformations and disabilities resulting from a pregnant woman drinking heavily during her pregnancy. FAS will not occur if the father was drinking heavily or if the pregnant woman was drinking a very small amount of alcohol on rare occasions. Heavy drinking on a consistent basis or binge drinking on an occasional basis can produce FAS. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is currently the leading cause of mental retardation in the United States. Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is a condition where children are born with less dramatic physical defects, but with many of the same behavioral and psychosocial characteristics as those with FAS. FAE is often thought of as lower on a continuum than FAS, but this is not correct. Many individuals with FAE, while looking quite normal, have significant deficits in their intellectual, behavioral, and social abilities which prevent them from leading normal lives. Forty-four percent of women who drink heavily during pregnancy will have a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

This puts your baby at risk of a serious condition called fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which is a group of birth defects. These defects are irreversible and can include physical, mental and behavioral problems. FAS affects between 3 and 22 live births out of every 10,000 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although doctors aren't sure how much alcohol you'd have to drink to place your baby at risk, the more you drink, the greater the chance of problems developing. For that reason the best advice is: If you're pregnant, don't drink alcohol.

    Extractions: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a condition caused by maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy. There is no known level of safe alcohol consumption below which it is safe to drink while pregnant. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the world's leading preventable cause of mental retardation. Children diagnosed with FAS are irreversibly damaged. It is completely preventable. The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust was originally started by the adoptive parent of a child with FAS, who having searched on information on FAS, could not find any. Once word gets around, many people including both parents/carers and professionals began asking questions. It soon became apparent that more help was needed. To that end, we registered with the Charity Commission in 1996, and called ourselves the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust (F.A.S.T).

    Extractions: Definition Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a pattern of birth defects , learning, and behavioral problems affecting individuals whose mothers consumed alcohol during pregnancy Description FAS is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation . This condition was first recognized and reported in the medical literature in 1968 in France and in 1973 in the United States. Alcohol is a teratogen, the term used for any drug, chemical, maternal disease or other environmental exposure that can cause birth defects or functional impairment in a developing fetus. Some features may be present at birth including low birth weight, prematurity The incidence of FAS varies among different populations studied, and ranges from approximately one in 200 to one in 2000 at birth. However, a recent study reported in 1997, utilizing the Institute of Medicine criteria, estimated the prevalence in Seattle, Washington from 1975-1981 at nearly one in 100 live births. Avoiding alcohol during pregnancy, including the earliest weeks of the pregnancy can prevent FAS. There is no amount of alcohol use during pregnancy that has been proven to be completely safe. There is no racial or ethnic predilection for FAS. Individuals from different genetic backgrounds exposed to similar amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may exhibit different signs or symptoms of FAS. Several studies have estimated that between 25-45% of chronic alcoholic women will give birth to a child with FAS if they continue to drink during pregnancy. The risk of FAS appears to increase as a chronic alcoholic woman progresses in her childbearing years and continues to drink. That is, a child with FAS will often be one of the last born to a chronic alcoholic woman, although older siblings may exhibit milder features of FAS. Binge drinking, defined as sporadic use of five or more standard alcoholic drinks per occasion, and "moderate" daily drinking (two to four 12 oz bottles of beer, eight to 16 ounces of wine, two to four ounces of liquor) can also result in offspring with features of FAS.

    Extractions: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a characteristic pattern of mental and physical birth defects that results due to maternal use of alcohol during pregnancy. The range and severity of associated abnormalities may vary greatly from case to case. However, characteristic features may include growth delays before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation); malformations of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region; brain abnormalities; and/or additional physical findings. FAS may also be associated with varying degrees of mental retardation, learning abnormalities, and/or behavioral problems that, in some cases, may occur in the absence of obvious physical abnormalities.

"Presents a comprehensive overview of the field that is aimed at professionals, families, and communities." "It will quickly find its way onto home and library bookshelves." Readable and easy to understand, this book conveys urgent information about medical and social issues surrounding fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Compassionately written by the expert psychologist who conducted some of the earliest examinations of children with FAS more than 20 years ago, this guidebook presents an overview of FAS and explains how to identify the disorder, how to work with children (and adults) who have it, how to talk to parents about it, and how to prevent its occurrence through sensitive education of prospective mothers and society at large. Photographs and case studies lend personal perspective while revealing the physical and behavioral manifestations of FAS, particularly in children. For parents, families, educators, pediatricians, psychologists, adoption workers, lawyers, judges, social workers, nurses, and child care providers, this timely work speaks to everyone, promoting understanding and awareness of the challenges faced by the children who have this entirely preventable disability.

    Extractions: helpful? yes no Fetal Alcohol Spectrum disorder (FASD) ranges from minor individual alcohol-related birth anomalies such as low birth weight to the severe Fetal Alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS occurs when babies are exposed to heavy maternal drinking during pregnancy. Only a small minority of pregnant women with alcohol problems have babies with FAS. The severity of the syndrome appears to relate to the frequency of high doses of alcohol. Diagnosis is made on the basis of three main areas: Growth Washington Scale: Children with FAS are small for their age at birth, with weight, length, head circumference, or any combination of these in less than 10th centile (the lowest 10 per cent) for their age. Brain Children with FAS have delayed development and many have learning difficulties. Facial Children with FAS have at least two of the following features: microcephaly - head circumference below third centile short palpebral fissures (short space between the eyelids) or microphthalmia (small eyes) or both these features poorly developed philtrum, thin upper lip, flattening of cheekbones

    Extractions: Acknowledgements Consuming alcohol during pregnancy is the cause of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), a leading preventable cause of birth defects and mental retardation. Similar effects without the obvious alterations to appearance, but with nervous system effects, are sometimes typified as Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Alcohol is able to cross the placenta from maternal circulation through the placenta into fetal circulation. There is some evidence that alcohol can also directly damage DNA . Statistical information is often difficult to isolate directly, as alcohol is often combined with other drugs (tobacco, illicit drugs, etc). In addition, there is an interesting "American paradox" ( see Abel ) that Americans have a relatively low rate of per capita alcohol consumption, yet the USA has the highest incidence of FAS (20 times all other countries) in the world.

     Extractions: (http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR6-2/morrissette.html) Abstract This paper discusses the experiences of foster/adoptive parents who raise children diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the instrumental role family counselors can play regarding child management issues, intimate relationships, larger system collaboration, and research. For the actual study, six parents participated in individual, in-depth tape-recorded interviews. Each interview was transcribed, thematically analyzed, and revealed seven predominant themes including (a) constant vigil, (b) effects on marriages, (c) child management, (d) parental issues, (e) interactions with professional community, (f) emancipation concerns, and (g) medical implications. The ways in which family counselors can intervene are reviewed and include the role of clinician, facilitator, and researcher/educator. .
