The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Abstract
Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine or strong drink....(Judges 13:7)THE potential teratogenic effects of alcohol have been suspected for centuries, but it was not until the work of Lemoine in 19681 and the independent observations of Jones and Smith in 19732 that a distinct, dysmorphic condition associated with maternal, gestational alcoholism was described in medical literature.Since alcoholics frequently abuse other drugs, notably caffeine, nicotine and diazepam, and generally have unbalanced diets, it was initially questioned if ethanol could be isolated as the etiologic agent responsible for the "fetal alcohol syndrome." . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
