Extractions: However, the pattern of malformation associated with FAS is not seen in children born to malnourished women, and alcohol has been found to be acutely toxic to the fetus independently of the effects of malnutrition (2,3). Criteria for defining FAS were standardized by the Fetal Alcohol Study Group of the Research Society on Alcoholism in 1980 (4), and modifications were proposed in 1989 by Sokol and Clarren (5). The proposed criteria are 1) prenatal and/or postnatal growth retardation (weight and/or length below the 10th percentile); 2) central nervous system involvement, including neurological abnormalities, developmental delays, behavioral dysfunction, intellectual impairment, and skull or brain malformations; and 3) a characteristic face with short palpebral fissures (eye openings), a thin upper lip, and an elongated, flattened midface and philtrum (the groove in the middle of the upper lip).

Extractions: During pregnancy, how much alcohol is too much? No level of drinking has been proven safe. The pattern of FAS usually occurs in offspring of chronic alcohol abusers, most often in women who drink four to five drinks daily or more. However, it has occurred in women who drink less. FAE can occur in babies of women who drink moderately or lightly during pregnancy. Binge drinking of more than five drinks on any occasion is one of the strongest predictors of later behavioral and learning problems, developmental delays and mental deficits in those prenatally exposed to alcohol.

Extractions: Welcome to Arium ... a charitable organization dedicated to the prevention of addictions and their effects upon individuals and our communities, through the provision of resources, information and research concerning issues such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects - FAE. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects - FAE are caused by the expectant mother consuming alcohol during the term of her pregnancy. The child is permanently afflicted with a diminished ability to function mentally, physically, emotionally and socially. This impairment of the child's and future adult's abilities for reasoning and self control result in problems at school, antisocial and delinquent activities, increases in drug abuse and rates of crime. We all pay a significant price, both economically and in terms of a loss of quality of life in our communities, as a result of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects - FAE. The occurrence of FAS / FAE is very high. It happens at all socioeconomic levels of our society and is not bounded by any particular cultural group.

Extractions: ...nor does there appear to be a safe time to drink during pregnancy. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is one of the top three known causes of birth defects with accompanying mental retardationand the only preventable cause among those three. FAS can be prevented by abstaining from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.' FAS is characterized by a cluster of congenital birth defects that develop in the infants of some women who drink heavily during pregnancy. These defects include prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency; facial malformations such as a small head circumference, flattened midface, sunken nasal bridge and flattened and elongated philtrum; central nervous system dysfunction; and varying degrees of major organ system malformations.2 Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) , a less severe version of FAS, is characterized by milder or less frequent FAS signs. Low birthweight, subtle behavioral problems or a partial display of physical malformations, for example, may be seen in the newborns of women who consumed less alcohol during pregnancy than women with FAS newborns.3 Nearly 5,000 babiesone in every 750-are born with FAS every year. (FAS prevalence rates range from one in 1,000 to one in 200.) Comparatively, FAE may affect 36,000 newborns each year.4

Extractions: It is well documented that drinking during pregnancy can have harmful effects on the unborn child. What is less well known, is that heavy alcohol consumption in pregnancy can result in the condition known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Its Friday night and the bars in Bristol are packed. Groups of young women gather to socialise over a drink or two or three Weekend alcohol binges are becoming common place for many young women A recent survey indicates that young women are drinking more than ever before, with weekend binges becoming a regular event. Such increases in alcohol consumption are undoubtedly damaging womens health. Yet John Brooks from Dorset has another reason to worry about this trend. His adopted son Edward has acute learning and behavioural difficulties and is tiny for his age. Edwards birth mother started drinking at age 14 and eventually died from liver failure. John believes that alcohol has played a huge part in Edwards condition. He believes that Edward was damaged in the womb by his mothers drinking. This kind of damage is known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or FAS.
