WASHINGTON Scarpe Uomo Air Max 270 Bianche Arancione Italia , June 13 (Xinhua) -- Children are more likely to develop autism if their mothers had a fever during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester, a new study suggested Tuesday.
The study, led by scientists at the Columbia University and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, followed 95 Scarpe Donna Air Max 270 Triple Bianche Italia ,754 children born between 1999 and 2009, including 583 cases of autism identified in Norway through an autism birth cohort study.
Mothers of 15,701 children, or 16 percent, reported fever in one or more four-week intervals throughout pregnancy.
It turned out that autism risk was increased by 34 percent when mothers reported fever at any time during pregnancy Scarpe Uomo Air Max 270 Bianche Volt Italia , and by 40 percent in the second trimester.
The autism risk was increased by over 300 percent for the children of women reporting three or more fevers after the twelfth week of pregnancy, it said.
"Our results suggest a role for gestational maternal infection and innate immune responses to infection in the onset of at least some cases of autism spectrum disorder," first author Mady Hornig, associate professor of epidemiology and director of Translational Research at the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, said in a statement.
The study Scarpe Uomo Air Max 270 Flyknit Blu Bianche Italia , believed to be the most robust to date to explore the risk of autism associated with fevers across the entire span of pregnancy, also looked at two different types of commonly used anti-fever medications -- acetaminophen and ibuprofen -- to address that risk.
Risks were minimally mitigated among the children of women taking acetaminophen for fever in the second trimester, it said.
It also found none of the children born to mothers who took ibuprofe, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, developed autism.
However Scarpe Uomo Air Max 270 Triple Nere Italia , researchers could not ascertain whether risk was mitigated due to the extremely small number of women using this particular drug for fever.
Their future work, according to the study, would focus on identifying and preventing prenatal infections and inflammatory responses that may contribute to autism.

World's longest pizza breaks Guinness Records in U.S.
A record-breaking filibuster by South Korean opposition lawmakers entered its seventh day on Monday in a bid to block a bill giving greater surveillance powers to the national spy agency.
The marathon filibuster began last Tuesday and is being hailed as the world's longest -- shattering the previous record of 57 hours set by Canada's New Democratic Party in 2011.
Twenty-five lawmakers from the main opposition Minjoo Party and Justice Party have now spent more than 140 hours taking turns to hold the main floor of the parliament.
They are demanding revisions to an anti-terrorism bill, pushed by the ruling conservative Saenuri Party Scarpe Uomo Air Max 270 Nere Verdi Italia , that would allow the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to collect a wide range of personal data -- including phone records -- on anyone suspected of posing a security threat.
President Park Geun-Hye has said the legislation is necessary to counter growing threats of terrorism, including from North Korea.
But opposition party lawmakers argue the bill would violate rights to privacy and may be used to monitor and crack down on political dissent.
"The law not only gives the NIS unprecedented, unconstrained power to spy on every detail of our lives without our knowledge but also violates freedom of expression," lawmaker Hong Jong-Haak said during a five-hour speech Monday morning.
The NIS had a notorious reputation in the decades of authoritarian rule before South Korea embraced democracy in the 1980s, and its modern incarnation has faced a series of scandals including election meddling.
Senior officials Air Max 270 Donne Italia , including a former NIS head, were convicted of organising an online smear campaign against the liberal opposition candidate during the 2012 presidential poll won by Park.
Critics say freedom of assembly and expression have been significantly eroded in recent years, accusing Park, daughter of the late military ruler Park Chung-Hee, of slipping back towards authoritarian rule.
