<\/a>Researchers Find That Simple Test May Help Identify Infants Who Have Been Affected By Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol So That Early Intervention Can Help<\/span><\/p>\nCIFASD investigators, Drs. Christina Chambers, Julie Kable, and Claire Coles, found that measuring heart rate responses to stimuli (the cardiac orienting response) in infants at 6 months of age was better than the Bayley’s test of development in predicting both normal and impaired infant performance at 12 months of age. The COR, a simple test requiring few resources and minimal expertise to administer, may be an effective early measure of alcohol-related impairment in young infants. This novel screening tool could provide an early, and more accessible method for early identification leading to better outcomes for children with FASD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Promising Findings Suggest Maternal Biomarker May Help To Identify Earlier In Life Infants with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders CIFASD investigators examined whether changes in the levels of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in mother’s plasma during pregnancy could work as a biomarker for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in the developing fetus. They identified 11 miRNAs that […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":47,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236,"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/233\/revisions\/236"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/47"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cifasd.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
