The number of liver resection in Poland has recently increased. Most frequent indications are benign tumors of the liver, metastatic changes and primary hepatic carcinoma. The aim of work is to discuss incidence of complications which appeared after liver resections at our Department. Among 56 patients aged 19-76, 32 anatomical and 24 nonanatomical resections of hepatic tissue were performed. In the early postoperation period, 8 patients had peritoneal fluid collections and 3 laparotomies with drainage were necessary, while in 5 cases fluid was aspirated under usg guidance. The outflow of bile and blood contents from subhepatic space was prolonged to 9 days in 3 patients, gastric or duodenal 3 stress ulcerations complicated with bleeding were observed as well as transitory hemobilia in 3 and jaundice in 6 cases. Early hemorrhage from excision line of hepatic tissue was observed in 2 patients which needed additional surgical intervention. Atelectasis and inflammatory changes of the right lung appeared in majority of patients operated on. The postoperative mortality of 16% (9 patients of total 56) was mainly dependent on hepatorenal or cardiorespiratory failure, however myocardial infarction and DIC syndrome were also noticed. In spite of progress of surgical technique and intensive perioperative care, resection procedures of the liver are still accompanied with large percentage of serious complications.

The aim of the study was to investigate invasive meningococcal disease in the North-West of Poland, associated with a case fatality rate of 42.9%, where among the first 11 cases, eight had fatal outcome. All fatal cases were diagnosed as fulminant meningococcal severe sepsis with Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Serotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis revealed that the high case fatality rate was not associated with the dissemination of one epidemic clone. However, six cases, all with good outcomes, were caused by C:2b:(P1.2,P1.5) isolates of the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type belonging to ST8 complex/Cluster A4.

The stable isotopic analyses of molecular oxygen dissolved in water (delta18O(DO)) and dissolved inorganic carbon (delta13C(DIC)), supplemented with basic chemical measurements, have been carried out on a diurnal basis to better understand the dynamics of photosynthesis and respiration in freshwater systems. Our observations have been carried out in a lowland dam reservoir, the Sulejow Lake (central Poland), during the summer cyanobacterial bloom. All data obtained, isotopic, hydrochemical, and biological, show a high mutual consistency. Namely, the lowest delta18O(DO) values, obtained at 10:00 and 14:00 (16.0 and 15.5 per thousand, respectively), correspond to the highest amount of cyanobacterial cells observed (66 and 63 mg dm(-3), respectively), whereas the minimum delta13C(DIC) (-10.6 per thousand) obtained at 22:00 corresponds to the maximum content of organic matter (110 mg dm(-3)). This evidence suggests that isotopic assays of delta18O(DO) and delta13C(DIC) are a reliable tool for the quantitative study of biochemical processes in freshwater systems.
