Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (eBook, ePUB)

From Mechanism to Prevention

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Recognition of the relationship between alcohol abuse and adverse prenatal outcomes is reflected in the warning labels on every alcoholic beverage sold in the United States. Because alcohol abuse has serious consequences for both individuals and society as a whole, much research has been devoted to this problem. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome provides straightforward facts regarding the impact of alcohol consumption as it affects the development of the embryo and fetus. Surveying current research of fetal alcohol syndrome and its related problems, the book addresses the immediate effects on development at various stages. Long-term action of prenatal alcohol exposure later in life is also considered. A chapter devoted to assessing the behavior of children who were prenatally exposed to alcohol emphasizes the necessity of longitudinal studies of fetal alcohol syndrome. This important reference offers a thorough overview of a problem that cannot be ignored.

Rezensionen

"...one of the most comprehensive reviews currently available."
-Journal of Studies on Alcohol
""...an important addition to the bookshelves of many scientists involved in basic research dealing with alcohol teratogenesis and to those specializing in the diagnosis and care of children and adults affected by in utero exposure to alcohol."
