We here report a rare case of congenital cystic adenamatoid malformation[CCAM]. This case presented early in the neonatal period with bilateral lung cysts and have favorable outcome. However, the patient continued to be oxygen dependent for more than six weeks.

By referring to the construction of wo medical domain ontologies, we describe our methodological choices for the re-use of a number of terminological and ontological resources: CCAM, ICD-10, ATC, FMA, MENELAS, ORPHANET and SNOMED 3.5. Good practice was identified and two strategies (pruning versus selective additions) for resource re-use in ontology construction are discussed.

OBJECTIVE To determine the outcome of antenatally suspected congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) over a 10 year period. METHODS This is a retrospective study of all babies diagnosed antenatally in the Prenatal Diagnosis Unit and delivered in Oxford between 1991 and 2001. Data were obtained from the Oxford Congenital Anomaly Register, theatre records, and histopatholog...

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), previously known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), is an inborn abnormality of the lower respiratory system. Most often diagnosed in the perinatal period, these anomalies usually present with tachypnea, cyanosis, and respiratory distress. However, rare cases are asymptomatic and undiagnosed until adulthood.

Two new mariner transposon delivery vector systems, pMarA333 and pMarB333, had been constructed to randomly mutagenize Bacillus thuringiensis in vivo. The results showed that both systems could randomly insert into the genome of B. thuringiensis YBT881 (CCAM 020673). These systems could have potential for further construction of mutant libraries of B. thuringiensis and other Bacillus strains.

Autonomous vehicles and smart roads are not new concepts the undergoing development to empower for higher levels of automation has achieved initial milestones. However, transportation industry relevant research communities still require making considerable efforts create intelligent autonomous driving. To achieve results such efforts, CCAM infrastructure is a game changer plays key role in achi...
