FAS is the most common known cause of mental deficiency.
It is a subject of serious concern to government health agencies and health care
professionals throughout the country. The video has been designed to give health care
professionals:
Sharpened Diagnostic Skills -- Each diagnostic feature is displayed and described
in detail. Using the information on this video, some of which has never before been
published, health care professionals will be able to easily determine which children with
behavioral problems have FAS.
Decreased Liability Exposure -- Because the diagnostic protocols and measurement
techniques described on the video are so easy to utilize, the opportunity for missed and
mis-diagnoses will be reduced. This video is a completely new production which uses
diagnostic images of more than a dozen FAS patients.
Enhanced Patient and Client Service -- The methods and procedures explained on the
video allow the health care professional to discriminate between FAS and other causes of
growth retardation and mental deficit. The result of over 1000 clinical examinations of
children afflicted with FAS, these techniques are on the cutting edge of this critical
field.
This video provides both clear, color images and concise, spoken explanations of essential
diagnostic techniques. All areas of concern are addressed, including growth, CNS
manifestations, physical features, and phenocopies. Special information is provided on
diagnostic pattern recognition, and sources of additional resources in the field are
provided.
Jon M. Aase, MD, author and host of the video, is the preeminent authority on FAS.
He is the author or co-author of over forty articles in the area of dysmorphology, and
author of Diagnostic Dysmorphology: An Approach to the Child with Congenital
Abnormalities (Plenum Medical Book Company). He developed the FAS Clinical Checklist
and Screening Protocol for the Centers for Disease Control, and is currently conducting a
Study of the Epidemiology of FAS in New Mexico for the CDC.
