We present a case of a near-term infant who developed respiratory distress, shortly after birth. Chest X-ray showed a right sided tension pneumothorax (PTX) with a large air containing structure at the base of the right hemithorax. The pneumothorax was partially evacuated with needle aspiration at which time the patient became asymptomatic, despite a small residual pneumothorax. CT scan of the ...

Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is a rare abnormality of pulmonary airway malformation and may remain undiagnosed until it discovered as an incidental finding later in life. Reported here are two cases CPAM, seven-month-old infant two-year-old toddler. A ex-premature male presented with recurrent pneumonia failure to thrive. He had unresolving consolidation on chest radiograph w...

Passive acoustic monitoring is the method of choice to detect whales and dolphins that are acoustically active and to monitor their underwater behavior. The NATO Science and Technology Organization Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation has recently implemented a compact passive acoustic monitor (CPAM), consisting of three arrays of two hydrophones each that are combined in a fixed th...

OBJECTIVE To determine the level of involvement of clinical nurses accredited by the Universitat Jaume I (Spain) as mentors of practice (Reference Nurses) in the evaluation of competence of nursing students. METHODOLGY: Cross-sectional study, in which the "Clinical Practice Assessment Manual'' (CPAM) reported by reference 41 nurses (n=55) were analyzed. Four quality criteria for completion were...

Le contentieux de la Sécurité sociale est largement nourri par procédure recouvrement l’indu mise en œuvre CPAM soit au titre d’un contrôle purement administratif, d’activité réalisé le Service médical CPAM. C’est ce dernier dont il question. Aussi, cette étude, fondée sur jurisprudence récente, a pour ambition mettre lumière quelques points afin mieux renseigner les masseurs-kinésithérapeutes ...

In this study, Black, Macklem, and Rose thoroughly describe the outcomes when a wide range of reaction functions are set in CPAM, the Canadian Policy Analysis Model developed at the Bank of Canada. The reaction functions for monetary policy influence the short-term interest rate relative to the long-term rate. The analysis begins with the CPAM reaction function, which targets the expected diffe...

Carrageenans are commercially important sulfated gums found in various species of red seaweeds (Rhodophyta), wherein they serve a structural function similar to that of pectins in land plants. In this study, carrageenan was used independently or in combination with cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) and/or Al2(SO4)3 to explore its application as a dry strength additive in papermaking. Strength inde...

In Lille (a large city in northern France), the municipal council has set up an Health Observatory in order to provide health information on the city's population, promote educational health policies, foster the development of preventive actions and improve access to the healthcare system. The Observatory works with agencies involved in health in France, such as the CPAM ("Caisse Primaire d'Ass...

Cationic dry strength agents (DSAs) are commonly used for paper strengthening. However, before they are applied, another chemical called an anionic trash catcher (ATC) is often used to pretreat pulp to neutralize the negative dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS), increasing the effectiveness of the subsequently added cationic DSA. However, in many cases, the negativity of the fibers is also...
