Prenatal alcohol exposure and mental health at midlife: A preliminary report on two longitudinal cohorts

Claire D. Coles et al.

Summary: Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with increased rates of mental health disorders in middle adulthood. These outcomes appear to result from multiple stressors that affect individuals vulnerable due to their early alcohol exposure. Clinical outcomes could be improved through prevention of prenatal alcohol use, reducing later environmental stressors, and early identification of exposure.

Facial Anatomical Landmark Detection Using Regularized Transfer Learning With Application to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Recognition

Zeyu Fu et al.

Summary: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) can cause cranio-facial anomalies and behavioral/neurocognitive problems. Current diagnosis relies on facial characteristics, but anatomical landmark detection provides richer information. A new regularized transfer learning approach is developed to address limited training data and leverage visual semantics from a source model, improving model generalizability under constraints.

Alterations in Insulin Levels in Adults with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure

Julie A. Kable et al.

Summary: The study found that prenatal alcohol exposure could impact insulin production and signaling, leading to different insulin levels between PAE individuals and Controls with normal BMI. However, the rate of insulin increase relative to BMI was higher in PAE individuals, indicating potential differential impact on diabetes disease and cognitive impairment.
