Online Research Assignment – Part 2 – Syndrome Annotated Bibliography
Name: Jayme Lutz Section: 1 Due Date: October 9, 2015
For this project I will be examining and researching Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, including the etiology, meaning the root and causation of it, the symptoms and behaviour traits that affect the individual that possesses the syndrome and also the preventions and forms of treatment that are available. Since I will be using a variety of sources for the research involved with this project, this annotated bibliography will discuss why and how I will be using them:
1.)
Stewart, G. (2005). Fetal alcohol syndrome. Detroit: Thomson/Gale.
This book, found in the Welland Public Library, was published in 2012 and discusses not only …show more content…
Stewart’s Fetal Alcohol Syndrome had stated, yet it has a medical viewpoint and a large emphasis on the symptoms, behaviors and the physical, mental and psychological traits that are commonly associated with the syndrome. It firstly explains, in the “Introduction” subtitle, that the most complete form of prenatal alcohol abuse that occurs in the newborn is called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS, but alcohol-related injuries to the fetus vary in terms of severity and pervasiveness. Less complete forms may be referred to as fetal alcohol effects (FAE) or alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD) and that symptoms differ between the lot. In a fetus, the developing brain is the structure that is the most defenseless; it is still growing and therefore, anything introduced to the environment either helps it grow or decreases its growth. Since alcohol abuse in a pregnant mother harms the unborn child and their brain, the “resulting neurobehavioural abnormalities have the most profound and lasting consequences”. I think that this source will be a great help to me, since it will give me insight to the scientific aspect and the medical side of the syndrome. After reading this journal, I was very affected by the impact it had on me; knowing what can occur throughout an individual’s life while living with FAS made me want to research and write about it
