Socioeconomic Status and the Increased Prevalence of Autism in California.
The prevalence of autism has increased precipitously-roughly 10-fold in the past 40 years-yet no one knows exactly what caused this dramatic rise. Using a large and representative dataset that spans the California birth cohorts from 1992 through 2000, we examine individual and community resources associated with the likelihood of an autism diagnosis over time. This allows us to identify key soc...
متن کاملImmune System and Neurotrophic Factors in Autism
Evidences related to the fact that there is a immunological functional disorder in autism are gradually increasing. Since immunological mechanisms play a role in the neuronal cell migration, axonal development and formation of synapses, it is mentioned that there is an immune mediated inflammatory period exists (Bradstreet et al. 2007). Central nervous system and immune system are systems which...
متن کاملMaternal infection and immune involvement in autism.
Recent studies have highlighted a connection between infection during pregnancy and the increased risk of autism in the offspring. Parallel studies of cerebral spinal fluid, blood and postmortem brains reveal an ongoing, hyper-responsive inflammatory-like state in many young as well as adult autism subjects. There are also indications of gastrointestinal problems in at least a subset of autisti...
متن کاملPerinatal Immune Activation and Risk of Autism
He could fit in the palms of both hands, seemed to look at you beseechingly while you rushed to thread a vein and snake a tube down a tiny nostril of this 24 week preemie. Already exposed to the prenatal stress that culminated in premature delivery, he has been further exposed to the stress associated with the separation from his mother and multiple medical interventions. Like other premature b...
متن کاملCathelicidins link the endocrine and immune systems.
Cathelicidin peptides play key roles in host responses to infection. Radek and colleagues (2010) demonstrate that the nicotinic acetylcholine system, activated during stress, suppresses production of mouse cathelicidin, increasing host susceptibility to the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests a distinct way by which the endocrine system regulates innate immunity.
