Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Women who drink during pregnancy, not only their children in dangerous areas, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (fetal alcohol syndrome), which is physiological, behavioral and learning problems. Queen's University, a new British study shows that children with fetal alcohol syndrome at risk of developing epilepsy.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are 100 percent of the preventable if women do not drink during pregnancy,

the center said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Center. The bottom line is, there is no known safe dose of alcohol, nor is it safe type of alcohol can pregnant women eat, nor is it a safe time during pregnancy.

Who was born of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder unspecified number of children. CDC research shows that 0.2 to 1.5 children fetal alcohol syndrome at birth, per 1,000 live births, in some parts of the United States, while other places of figures from 0.5 to 2.0 per 1000 live birth cases.

Queen's University study, researchers assessed the 4252-49 two-year-old history of fetal alcohol syndrome. They found that 6 percent of the subjects have epilepsy, and 12 percent experienced at least one seizure in life. This is less than one per cent higher than the general public, the development of epilepsy.

The researchers also found that fetal alcohol syndrome are more likely to have history of seizures, or if their mothers had been pregnant in their first exposure to alcohol during pregnancy, or all.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are a group of conditions, including fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) of, and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). Spectrum disease-specific diagnosis; term fetal alcohol syndrome itself is not a clinical diagnosis.

Fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome the most severe end of spectrum. Individuals who have fetal alcohol syndrome may have abnormal facial features, central nervous system problems, and learning, memory, attention, communication, vision, hearing, or the difficulties of these issues integrated.

Individuals who have ARND may have mental problems, behavioral and learning disabilities. Often associated with memory, math, attention, where appropriate, the difficulties, poor impulse control. Alcohol-related birth defects, often including the heart, kidneys, bones, or listen to, or a combination of these problems.

Queen's University of the support is growing evidence that women during pregnancy, the child who is a high risk of various behaviors and health drinks smell nerve system. A fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and epilepsy link is a reason women should avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy, even in a few weeks or months, pre-pregnancy.
