Q

How are inflammation and infection related?

A

When you cut your skin the tissue around the cut will undergo mild inflammation. Skin bacteria invade the cut tissue causing infection. Bacteria will cause more irritation causing more inflammation

86
What is the other view of drinking and FAS?
FAS is associated with intermittent high levels of exposure at specific times and that this alone does not cause FAS but there are other cofactors such as malnutrition, smoking, stress.
87
What are the major (permissive) risk factors for FAS?
Alcohol intake pattern, low SES, smoking behaviour
88
What are the provocative factors for FAS?
High BAL, inadequate diet/poor nutrition, exposure to environmental pollutants, psychological stress, other toxin exposures (nicotine), high parity

What is teratogenicity?
Notion that a substance that can cross the placenta and to which a fetus is exposed may be toxic to specific groups of cells developing at that specific time
90
What is a critical period?
Time of vulnerability in which exposure may cause damage | Specific cells effected depend on their specific response to the toxin and synchronous development
91
What occurs differently in the tissue formation of the upper lip during FAS?
Tissue that should form the philtre is deficient and the more lateral tissues contribute to the centre of the upper lip
92
What are the different possible mediators of tissue damage in FAS?
Hypoxia Free radical damage ( can initiate a chain of responses) Actions on morphogens/gradients Increased glutamate release in CNS
