摘要:

Recent research concerning the contribution of intrauterine factors to mental retardation has centered on two areas.The first area is fetal alcohol syndrome. Underdiagnosis has been suspected for some time largely because of the failure of paediatricians to always recognise the subtle dysmorphism. More accurate recogniton of this has been facilitated by research in the past 12 months which should enhance the recognition and diagnosis and reduce the number and percentage of remaining undiagnosed cases of mental retardation. The second area is cerebral palsy. It is well known that cerebral palsy is frequently accompanied by learning difficulties and the same insult which causes the motor deficit in cerebral palsy is also responsible for the learning difficulty. Recent research, particularly in the past 12 months, has recognised that up to 40% of term and 20% of preterm babies have prepart origin for their cerebral palsy and this represents another significant contribution of previously unrecognised intrauterine events to the causation of mental retardation.

Abuse of people with learning disability is now recognized as a major problem.This review highlights some of the areas in which progress has been made, such as changing attitudes, prevention and service responses, and also recommends areas in which further work is required, such as psychopathology and therapeutic interventions.

摘要:

The results of numerous ongoing research programs on the genetic basis of autism are not yet available.Several investigations, however, have found that a substantial minority of autistic individuals have macrocephaly, the meaning of which is still ill-understood. Several studies have also reported the beneficial effects of serotonin selective re-uptake inhibitors on behavioural symptoms.
