Since 1990, when the Human Genome Project was initiated, the amount of genetic information on the World Wide Web (WWW) has grown substantially. The WWW has become an important resource for current, accurate, and reliable genetic information for health care professionals and the general public. The purpose of this article is to provide a variety of genetics-related WWW sites that are useful for all levels of practitioners interested in genetics. In selecting sites to be included in this article, a number of evaluation tools were reviewed. The primary concern was that these sites be reputable and provide accurate, timely information. A table of the WWW sites is included for quick easy reference.

Because fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), or fetal alcohol effects (FAE), is being diagnosed in growing numbers of children, there is more interest in their common characteristics and how they change throughout childhood. Few longitudinal studies that describe the common childhood course of FAS address appropriate interventions. Some literature exists that describes follow-up and support services needed by these children and their families. This article examines the common childhood course of FAS/FAE and the interventions and services needed to promote positive child and family health.

It is not unusual for neonates to be born before the 24th week of gestation and weigh less than 1,000 g. These neonates are surviving to be transferred to a tertiary care center, and many are discharged eventually to home. When one considers that these infants are only "half developed" by the standard 40-week gestational period, it is understandable that the challenges for nurses caring for them are enormous. In this article, the authors review gestational development and the critical care needs of this special neonatal population.
