BACKGROUND Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a relatively rare congenital anomaly with a wide spectrum of ultrasound features depending on the specific variety of CPAM. Antenatal ultrasound is a valuable, safe, nonionizing, cost-effective, widely available and easily reproducible imaging tool and is indispensable in the diagnosis of CPAM. In this paper, we aimed to report an at...

The effects of the molecular weight (MW) and charge density (CD) of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) on sludge dewatering and moisture evaporation were investigated in this study. Results indicated that in sludge conditioning, the optimum dosages were 10, 6, 6, 4, and 4 mg g(-1) CPAM with 5 million MW and 20% CD, 5 million MW and 40% CD, 3 million MW and 40% CD, 8 million MW and 40% CD, and 5 mil...

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), previously known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, is a rare developmental lung abnormality associated with rhabdomyosarcoma, pleuropulmonary blastoma, and mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung. We report an unusual case of a 10-day-old male newborn with a left lower lobe pulmonary cyst who underwent lobectomy, which revealed type II C...

An amphiphilic macro-monomer of allyl polyoxyethylene-12 ether with butyl-end group (AE12B) was synthesized, and its chemical structure was characterized. AE12B and the other two macro-monomers with different hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups were copolymerized with acrylamide to prepare the novel combshaped acrylamide copolymer (CPAM) through aqueous free radical polymerization. The solution ...

Accessory scrotum and congenital perineal lipoma are unusual congenital anomalies. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare congenital disorder of the lung. There are five types of CPAM, each with a different clinical presentation and prognosis. The present report involves a case of type 2 CPAM associated with accessory scrotum and congenital perianal lipoma.

Aim  We report a case of congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) with hydrops in which the fetus underwent thoracoamniotic shunting. Case Report  A 40-year-old (G1P1) woman was diagnosed with a macrocystic CPAM. Thoracoamniotic shunting was performed at 19 weeks of gestation but not well drained and was successfully performed again at 23 weeks. However, the CPAM volume ratio, abdominal ...

Pulmonary congenital abnormalities are rare disorders including congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) and pulmonary sequestration (PS). CPAM is a lesion characterized by the presence of anomalous bronchiolar or acinar structures, variable in size, either cystic or not cystic. PS is generally defined as nonfunctioning lung tissue that is not in normal continuity with the tracheobronch...

Sodium titanate nanobelt was synthesized by treating titanium dioxide hydrothermally in concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. The product was characterized by SEM analysis and zeta potential measurements. It served as a microparticle to constitute a microparticle retention system with cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), while the microparticle system was employed to induce the flocculation of kao...

Substrate supported conductive thin films are prepared by the self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) on a cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) layer followed by a subsequent chemical reduction. During self-assembly, the dispersed GO nanosheets with a negative zeta potential from solution are spontaneously assembled onto the positively charged CPAM adsorption layer. In addition, CPAM adsorption on the s...

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...
