41. 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: Alcohol (wine, beer, or liquor) is the leading known preventable cause of mental and physical 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 or her entire life. Yet many pregnant women do drink alcohol, and it's estimated that one in every 750 infants is born with a pattern of physical, developmental, and functional problems referred to as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) each year in the United States. Another 40,000 children are born with fetal alcohol effects (FAE) each year. If you have adopted your child, there are signs you can recognize that may indicate fetal alcohol syndrome. Or if you have consumed alcohol during pregnancy and are concerned that your child may have FAS, there are some signs that you can look for. Signs and Symptoms of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome 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: "The alcohol-affected child is like a garden. Some seeds need to be planted year after year, like the carrots and the radishes. The seeds the birds carry away have to be replaced almost immediately. But there are bulbs that grow in the garden and every year they come up almost without tending. It can be too easy to see what failed to come up this year and step on the crocuses close to the ground. The important thing is to be thankful that there is a garden. It is not a wasteland."

45. FASCETS
    Consultation, education and training service focused on parents of children with fetal alcohol syndrome. Features service listings, resources, and mission statement.

Short term goals include increased effectiveness, reduced frustration, and attainment of improved outcomes, including burnout prevention in professionals. The long term goal of this work is to contribute to the prevention of FAS/ARND. FASCETS supports the development of a family-centered, community-based, multidisciplinary continuum of care. This collaborative design has been found to be effective in enhancing communication among parents and professionals for their mutual benefit.

46. What Can We Do About Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?
    An article by Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth, PhD, addressing prevention and cause.  
    http://www.health20-20.org/what_can_we_do_about_fetal_alcohol_syndrome.htm
    
    Extractions: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth, PhD When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, within minutes the blood alcohol level in the fetus becomes about the same as that in the mother. The embryo and fetus are growing and changing so rapidly that their development can be altered by exposure to certain toxic drugs, like alcohol. Amounts of alcohol that have no perceptible long-term effect on the mother can produce long-lasting effects on the offspring. The birth defect cause by heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol in utero is called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is the most common known cause of mental retardation in the western world. Yet FAS is entirely preventable. Lemoine, a French pediatrician, noted a characteristic appearance and behavior among children of alcoholic mothers. He concluded in a 1968 paper that the characteristics were so distinctive that alcoholism in the mothers could be diagnosed by observing the children. In 1973 Jones, Smith, and colleagues independently made similar observations and termed this characteristic pattern of physical abnormalities Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Since then, hundreds of reports of patients from all racial groups have been published.

    Extractions: FASworld is an international alliance of parents and professionals who do not want to see any more children, teenagers and adults struggle with birth defects caused when their mothers drank alcohol in pregnancy. Co-founded by volunteers in Toronto, Canada, and Tucson, Arizona, it has resulted in the new Canadian organization, FASworld Canada , which continues to work with Fetal Alcohol Community Resource Center in Tucson to coordinate work in worldwide awareness. Individuals struggling with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder may be diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND), Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD), Alcohol-Related Birth Injury (ARBI) or Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS). (In New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world, these conditions are spelled, "Foetal Alcohol Syndrome," etc.) Psychologists and psychiatrists often assess individuals with FAS disorders as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder or Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) but are often unaware that the real problem is permanent neurological damage caused by prenatal alcohol. People with prenatal alcohol exposure have a high risk of mental disabilities, learning disabilities, early school drop-out, juvenile delinquency, trouble with the law, alcoholism, drug addiction, unemployment, homelessness, poverty, incarceration, and mental illness. With early diagnosis and treatment, many of these "secondary disabilities" could be prevented.
