L of circulating cell adhesion molecules (cCAM) may be useful markers for stratifying cardiovascular disease severity or prognosis.1–4 Furthermore, cCAM levels are elevated in subjects with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetic patients, hypertensive patients, and in smokers.5–11 The reported effects of hypercholesterolemia on cCAM levels, however, has been controversial.12–15 Sampietro and colle...

V2X communication plays an important role in the transition towards connected, cooperative, automated driving. Wireless enables instant information exchange between vehicles (V2V) to support, e.g., platooning, and infrastructure (I2V) inform on, local speed limit or approach of accident location. In Horizon 2020 HEADSTART project, we have shown how test V2V a scenario-based safety assessment fr...

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), previously referred to as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), is a developmental malformation of the lower respiratory tract and the most commonly reported congenital lung lesion. Affected patients typically present with respiratory distress in the neonatal period from expanding cysts and resulting compression of surrounding lung p...

An asymptomatic 8-week-old male infant was referred for assessment. A prenatal ultrasound had been suggestive of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM). Following delivery, he had a plain chest radiograph (fig. 1) and went on to have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax (fig. 2), which showed an extrapulmonary mass close to the vertebral column. He proceeded to have magnet...

There is a broad spectrum of bronchopulmonary malformations which present in early infancy and childhood. These include Bronchogenic cysts, Bronchopulmonary sequestrations, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), and congenital lobar emphysema. These lesions maybe detected by prenatal diagnosis, present as acute respiratory distress in the newborn period, or may remain undiagnosed an...

Background: In the speci c context of developing qualitycontrolled health gateways, several standards must be respected (e.g. Dublin Core for metadata element set; thesaurus MeSH as the controlled vocabulary to index Internet resources; HON code to accredit quality of health Web sites). These standards were applied to create the CISMeF Web site (French acronym for Catalog & Index of Health Inte...

The widespread use of prenatal ultrasound has made the fetus a patient. A number of conditions diagnosed as such may require therapy prior to birth. Herein we describe past, current and potential future procedures designed to treat pulmonary conditions in the antenatal period. When congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is -associated with fetal hydrops, treatment is required. Prior ...
