Background. The diagnostic imaging techniques in dermatology, such as skin ultrasound, could improve the diagnosis of non-melanocytic benign tumor lesions, especially those of intradermal and subcutaneous nature. Objective. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the validity and diagnostic safety of high-frequency ultrasound as a diagnostic test for non-melanocytic benign skin tumor detection. The specific objectives were to measure the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound as a measure of the validity relative to the gold-standard test – diagnostic-therapeutic biopsy. Methods. This study was carried out between January 2017 and June 2019. The patients (n = 641) included in this study comprised of 318 women and 323 men who were between 48 and 74 years. All of them underwent an ultrasound examination of the skin tumor in the dermatology clinic, the removal of the non-melanocytic tumor, and a final histopathological examination. Results. The skin ultrasound has a sensitivity and specificity of 93% and 88%, respectively. Furthermore, the positive and negative predictive values of using skin ultrasound are 84% and 94%, respectively. Conclusion. Skin ultrasound is a diagnostic technique with high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of non-melanocytic skin tumors.
SAFETY AND HEALTH PROTECTION (S&HP) IN MANAGING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Authors: Baryłka Adam , Obolewicz Jerzy
Published: December 2020

Construction objects arise during the implementation of construction projects. Participants in these projects are interested in taking systematic actions to improve the state of occupational safety and health protection. The effectiveness of these activities requires that they be carried out as part of a comprehensive system of managing the construction project implementation process.The safety management and health protection system is part of the overall project management system, which includes: organizational structure, planning, responsibility, rules of conduct, procedures, processes and resources and requires analysis of safety and health protection issues in its individual areas, phases and stages. This is primarily due to the fact that proper management is the most effective way to ensure an adequate level of safety and health protection (S&HP), desirable both due to the need to comply with legal provisions in force in construction, social expectations, and the possibility of obtaining positive economic effects by individual process participants in the scale of the entire construction project.The article proposes a theoretical model of the built undertaking that can be used to recognize the state of bioses. The model distinguishes parts, activities and areas in accordance with the logical course of the process, which was assigned to individual stages of the project. A research tool - RADAR S&HP - was developed to identify the factors affecting S&HP. To assess the condition of bioses, an analytical and mathematical model of the examined undertaking was formulated to ultimately determine the directions of preventive actions in the field of safety and health protection at individual stages, phases and areas of the construction project implementation process.
INFLUENCE OF MEASURING DEVIATIONS OF THE COMPONENTS OF LAYERED WALLS ON THEIR DURABILITY
Authors: Tomaszewicz Dariusz , Baryłka Adam
Published: December 2020

The subject of the article is the impact of measurement deviations of three-layer walls on the durability of these walls in buildings erected according to the OWT-67 / N system. This problem mainly concerns the external facade texture layer, which, apart from its own weight load, is exposed to the destructive influence of external factors, which include wind suction load and temperature load. The measurement deviation regarding the texture layer is the varied thickness of the board. Other diverse components that affect the fusion of the texture layer with the insulation layer and the construction layer are: diameter of rods hangers, coating thickness of rods hangers and diameter of rods anchoring hangers. Based on these measurements, a polynomial model was created based on an experimental plan that evaluated the durability of the layered wall.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ASSUMPTIONS FOR NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FIRE - SAFETY OF EVACUATION FROM THE BUILDING STRUCTURE
Authors: Dorsz Adam , Rusowicz Artur , Prawdzik Adam
Published: December 2020

Ensuring a safe evacuation for the users of a building is a major goal when designing structures and systems protecting them against the effects of a fire. The article discusses the safety assessment for evacuation of users from a building exemplified by an analysis using computational fluid mechanics to reproduce the environmental conditions during a fire. It presents a way to evaluate the possibility of a safe evacuation of users from a facility by indicating the criteria for the assessment of conditions on the evacuation routes during emergency evacuation. In order to verify the criteria for assessing the evacuation safety, a three-dimensional model of the object under consideration has been prepared, for which a dedicated calculation solver of Fire Dynamic Simulator fluid mechanics has been used to recreate the fire conditions in the building. Prepared calculation model takes into account both the development of a fire on a given floor of the building and the simulation of the designed fire ventilation system in operation. In the paper the authors compare the assumptions used to create a calculation model and analyze their impact on the assessment of evacuation safety. Comparative analysis of the assumptions used to prepare the fire model allowed to draw conclusions particularly important for the people evaluating the evacuation safety on the basis of the analysis of the operation of fire ventilation systems using the computational fluids mechanics.

Published: December 2020

В статье рассмотрены особенности прогнозирования многомерных нестационарных временных рядов с использованием нейромоделирования. Для построения прогнозных моделей используются самые современные концепции математического моделирования: методы фрактального и интеллектуального анализа эволюции систем, инструментарий нечеткой логики и искусственных нейронных сетей. В качестве примера рассмотрен процесс подачи топлива с примесями водорода в быстроходных дизелях на кораблях. Рассмотрен выбор топологии искусственной нейронной сети. Принимая во внимание обозначенную задачу исследования и особенности работы СЭУ, представляется целесообразным использовать инструменты нейромоделирования, которые позволяют реализовать новые подходы к прогнозированию динамики многомерных нестационарных временных рядов, происходящих в двигателе. Рассмотрен принцип формирования многомерной базы знаний для нейронной модели с использованием комбинации ключевых концептов теории нечеткой математики и понятия фрактальной размерности, сформированного в рамках множества Мандельброта. Рассмотрены способы обучения нейросети.

The article discusses the features of forecasting multidimensional non-stationary time series using neuromodeling. To build predictive models, the most modern concepts of mathematical modeling are used: methods of fractal and intellectual analysis of the evolution of systems, tools of fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. As an example, the process of supplying fuel with hydrogen impurities in high-speed diesel engines on ships is considered. The choice of the topology of an artificial neural network is considered. Taking into account the designated research task and the features of the SEP operation, it seems appropriate to use neuro-modeling tools that allow implementing new approaches to predicting the dynamics of multidimensional non-stationary time series occurring in the engine. The principle of formation of a multidimensional knowledge base for a neural model using a combination of key concepts of the theory of fuzzy mathematics and the concept of fractal dimension, formed within the framework of the Mandelbrot set, is considered. Methods of training a neural network are considered.

Service regulations which define employment of uniform service officers in regards to parental rights, predicts provisions which refer to applying the provisions of the Labour Code. It means that, the services regulations are not complete, and therefore application of provisions from other law systems is allowed.

Another example of relations between a uniform service employment and the labour law, is introducing rules to service regulations which are similar (or identical) to a labour law. As previously mentioned, the amount of benefit payment during the leave related to childcare, has been regulated in the same way to they employees who take this kind of leave.

Making officer’s status similar to employe’s status cause diverse consequences for officers. Some of them are more favorable to officers, for example parental rights. In this way, officers can benefit from these rights regardless of gender. Almost in the same way as employees, officers also have a right to additional maternity leave and childcare leave. Other changes, in relation to making officer’s status similar to employe’s status, cause however loss of service officers’ privileges, for example decreased pay during sick leave.
Karta Narodów Zjednoczonych jako światowa konstytucja – uwagi z perspektywy zakazu użycia siły
Authors: Kleczkowska Agata
Published: December 2020

The aim of the article is to answer the question on the role of the Charter of the United Nations for the international community, and in particular whether the Charter can be named the world constitution. The considerations upon this topic will be held from the perspective of the prohibition of the use of force. Thus, first of all, the prohibition itself should be briefly describe, in order to underline its absolute character and the fact that it was defined very broadly in the Charter. Secondly, one has to analyze the traits of the Charter as the potential constitutional act for the international community. Finally, these theoretical remarks will be referred to the states’ practice of application of the UN Charter. The conclusion stemming from such analysis indicates that the UN Charter may be formally named the world constitution, but in fact States do not treat obligations deriving from it as having any supreme power over their own national interests.
Prawo okupacji a międzynarodowe budowanie państwa: mój przyjaciel wróg
Authors: Gil Grzegorz
Published: December 2020

Following the end of the cold war, the incidence of statebuilding interventions has visibly increased in the case of dysfunctional (failed) states. Today, such interventionism in a good faith promotes liberal values and is believed to be in line with international legal regimes that makes it distinctive from neo-imperial politics. Even if state-building does not generally refer to regular warfare, it often takes analogous forms to occupation, which was codified in jus in bello at the beginning of the XXth century. While the occupation law requires occupants to maintain status quo on the occupying territory (article 43 of Hague Regulations), armed state-building is transformative by definition that seems to undermine conservative provisions of the former. The article presents traditional criteria for occupation in the Hague and Geneva conventions as well as prospects and limitations of its refinement (jus post bellum). In theory, such a redefinition could launch the formulation of the statebuilding regime, which aims to reduce deficits or double-standards in international state-building by focusing on the interests of local stakeholders of transformative projects. Hence, the Author addresses three interlocking issues: occupation within state-building, the occupation law and state-building, and transformative occupation as state-building.
Instrumentalizacja prawa i instrumentalne użycie prawa a jego wykładnia
Authors: Kotowski Artur
Published: December 2020

The paper analyses notions traditionally related to ideologisation of the law in the context of statutory interpretation. Adopting a non-judgemental, positivist scientific approach, the author describes instrumentalisation of the law and instrumental “use” of the law in the view of theoretical concepts pertaining to law interpretation, developed under Polish jurisprudence. Hence the paper aims to outline basic problems with the development of semantics from the perspective of political authority’s “claim” to apply the statutory interpretation that involves certain assumptions resulting from a philosophy of the law and/or philosophy of politics which are treated as the appropriate ones (based on non-juridical criteria). In this respect, it seems crucial to analyse possible configurations of the stages of interpretation process (established and labeled by H. Rabault) as a pre- and overdetermination of the semantics which is the basis for law application decisions.

The article undertakes to analyze the problem of delivery of the judgment by default with particular emphasis on the issue of the subsequent submission of the statement of opposition that judgment. In view of the fact that often plaintiff deliberately indicates an incorrect address of the defendant, which means that he has no knowledge of the judgment by default and his right to a court is then significantly reduced the author proposes to introduce sanctions for the plaintiff acting in this way.
Rejestr sprawców przestępstw seksualnych. Uwagi na tle ustawy z dnia 13 maja 2016 r. o przeciwdziałaniu zagrożeniom przestępczością na tle seksualnym
Authors: Mierzwińska-Lorencka Joanna
Published: December 2020

The article discusses on the Act on counteracting threats of sexual offences. It introduces to the Polish legal system the Registry of Sex Offenders in a version with a limited access and a version available to the public. Criticising the adopted solutions, the author point out the lack of integration with other interventions conducted in Poland against sex offenders, noncompliance with the recommendations of the most important expert circles in the field. The summary emphasises that access to information contained in the registry of limited access will increase the safety of children, especially in those areas where the authorities of the state or local government shall perform activities related to the wider education, treatment or care of minors. However, it should be connected with the organization of a wide range of preventive measures. From the other side the public registry will contribute to increasing public concerns and will be associated with the negative consequences for the perpetrators, and often their families, and the victims themselves. There is certainly an effective instrument that can be used countering threats of crime against sexual abuse.
Normy ius cogens w orzeczeniach i opiniach doradczych Międzyamerykańskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka
Authors: Lis Edyta
Published: December 2020

The concept of ius cogens norms is one of the most controversial issue in the international law. These norms were definied in the art. 53 of Vienna Convention on the law of treaties of 1969, according to which ius cogens norm it is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of the international law having the same character. This definition indicates that these norms limit the ability of States of creation or change the norms of the international law. However, the indicated definition does not include examples, scope and substance of ius cogens norms. In the commentary to the art. 50 of the draft articles on the law of treaties the International Law Commission stated that substance of these norms will be worked out in the States’ practice and in the judicial decisions of international courts . Contrary to International Court of Justice Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR), in its judicial decisions in great measure widened the scope and the substance of ius cogens norms. Consequently, IACtHR has developed a progressive case law in this realm. In separate opinion, in the case Caesar v. Trinidad and Tobago from 2005, judge A.A. Conçado Trindade concluded that the IACtHR, in identification of ius cogens norms, have done more than any other international court. In its judgements and advisory opinions IACtHR recognized that e.g. forced going missing, tortures, discriminations, extrajudicial executions are the infringements of ius cogens norms. Taking into consideration jurisprudence of the IACtHR it is hard to say on what grounds it was prescribed that a given norm is forming a part of ius cogens. This article analyses the way the IACtHR identified ius cogens norms. Therefore it was indispensable to define its competence ratione materiae. Next, taking into consideration the gravity and the nature of infringement and the fact that all infringements of human rights which have been described simultaneously constitute violation of other human rights, this paper is limited only to three of them. It also outlines what functions, in the jurisprudence of IACtHR, fulfil the attribution to the norms the status of ius cogens norms.
Kara umowna z tytułu odstąpienia od umowy najmu w związku z nieuiszczeniem kaucji zabezpieczającej
Authors: Szanciło Tomasz
Published: December 2020

The subject of consideration is the admissibility of the cessation of contractual penalties in the event of the lessor's withdrawal from a tenancy agreement, as a result of the tenant's failure to pay a security deposit against the lessor’s future rentals under the contract. Additional reser-vation of contractual penalty may relate only to non-performance or undue performance of a non-monetary obligation and therefore can’t be related to non-performance or undue perfor-mance of a monetary obligation (art. 483 § 1 k.c.). It’s important that the security deposit – in contrast to other forms of security – has a monetary nature. If you consider that this method of payment determines the nature of the security deposit as a cash payment and the tenant fails to pay the it or doesn’t restore the security to the original amount, then the provision for a contractual penalty for withdrawal from a tenancy agreement for that reason would be invalid. The question is if the nature of the rendition determines the manner in which it is fulfilled, or the purpose for which the debtor pays a specified amount of money. This issue may raise seri-ous doubts, but the automatic recognition of a security deposit as a cash rendition, although – literally speaking, possibly to consider – could lead to unlikely conclusions, given the nature and purpose of this form of warrant, especially in comparison to other forms. Consequently, in certain situations, the purpose and the essence of the rendition, its economic character, should be explored, since those elements determine the nature of the remdition within the meaning of art. 483 § 1 k.c.
Zakres związania państw członkowskich Kartą Praw Podstawowych Unii Europejskiej w kontekście stosowania prawa karnego (uwagi na tle orzecznictwa TSUE)
Authors: Szwarc Monika
Published: December 2020

The article focuses on the recent jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the context of the national criminal laws of the Member States, concerning the scope of application of the Charter. Drawing conclusions from this jurisprudence the Author answers the question when the Member State is 'implementing Union law' in the meaning of Article 51(1) of the Charter in the criminal law context. It is considered that Member States implement Union law when interpreting framework decisions (Lanigan, JZ, Vilkas), when assessing the conformity of the national measures with framework decisions (Jeremy F., Radu), when executing judgements in the framework of the mutual recognition (Aranyosi and Caldararu) and when assuring the effectiveness of EU law by enacting criminal sanctions (Tarrico). In addition, in some situations Member States may be considered to be implementing Union law while enacting national measures which may affect the rights derived from Union law (Delvigne). It is assumed in the article that CJEU is often called to strike the fair balance between the different (and sometimes diverging) interests of three categories of actors: interests of individuals (to have their fundamental rights protected), interests of Member States (to exercise ius puniendi) and interests of the European Union as a whole (to ensure effectivess of EU law).

These rules regulate the institution of the so-called ex post facto consent. The following paper analyzes Article 168b and Article 237a of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the light of standards stemming from the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. This analysis first of all revealed that there are serious doubts as to the compatibility of Article 168b and Article 237a of the Code of Criminal Procedure with Article 47, Article 49, Article 51 (2) in conjunction with Article 31 (3) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.
Teoretycznoprawne aspekty przedstawicielstwa organizacyjnego jako pragmatycznego sposobu reprezentacji osoby prawnej
Authors: Mucha-Kujawa Joanna
Published: December 2020

The subject of legal entities’ representation in private law trading is of utmost importance because it affects the correctness of legal acts performed by these entities. The author, having analyzed the origins of legal entity’s representation and the form of legal entity’s representation on the grounds of European models (Germany) shows that in European countries of German legal traditions the model of organizational representation (organschaftlicher Vertretung) is being applied more and more commonly. On the grounds of Polish law the legal concept and model of the body of legal entities have based on the so called theory of bodies (organs) until recently. At present, under the influence of European solutions (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) there is a tendency to treat the bodies of legal entities as organizational representatives (of statute nature), i.e. the third – beside legal representation and based on contract - type of representation. It seems, however, that organizational representation constitutes a pragmatic alternative for the hitherto, formal concept of the theory of bodies (organs), which may substantially affect the flexibility of trading.

Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung Kein Weihnachtsmarkt ohne Baum – schön groß, schön hoch, schön geschmückt und stimmungsvoll beleuchtet. Ebenfalls oft auf deutschen und mitteleuropäischen Weihnachtsmärkten anzutreffen: Regen, im romantischeren Falle Schnee, Wind und auch Sturm. Alles für sich, und im schlimmsten Fall zusammen, eine beeindruckende Anforderung an das „Tragwerk Baum“ und seine Befestigung. Mit Abstand betrachtet sind sich biegende Bäume im Sturm sicherlich ein faszinierender Anblick. Aus unmittelbarer Nähe, wie beispielsweise auf besagten Weihnachtsmärkten, eher eine bedrohliche Angelegenheit: Besucher, Betreiber, Marktstände und Waren sind vor umstürzenden Bäumen zu schützen. Ein entsprechender Standsicherheitsnachweis für den jeweiligen Baum mitsamt Befestigung und Baumständer ist zu führen.

Bei der Bemessung von Körpern gegen Windeinwirkungen spielt der Widerstandsbeiwert (cw-Wert) eine maßgebliche Rolle. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Bestimmung des cw-Wertes eines Weihnachtsbaumes sowie der Nachweis der Standsicherheit des Baumes auf dem Aachener Weihnachtsmarkt erläutert.

Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung Building Information Modeling (BIM) etabliert sich immer mehr in der Planungsphase als auch in der Ausführungsphase. Augmented Reality (AR) ermöglicht die Verwendung von BIM direkt auf der Baustelle und fördert somit den verstärkten Einsatz von BIM im Bauprozess. Sowohl Tablets als auch Datenbrillen können für AR zum Einsatz kommen. Datenbrillen bieten aus Sicht der Autoren in Zukunft einige wichtige Vorteile für den Einsatz auf der Baustelle – bei ihnen bleiben zum Beispiel die Hände frei.

Für einen produktiven Einsatz der AR-Datenbrille ist die jederzeit richtige Positionierung (auch Tracking genannt) des virtuellen Modells auf der Baustelle essentiell. Die Baustelle stellt dabei aufgrund der äußeren Rahmenbedingungen große Herausforderungen an das Trackingsystem. Viele Oberflächen sind relativ gleichmäßig grau oder weiß. Suboptimale Lichtverhältnisse und kaum dauerhafte Erkennungspunkte erschweren zusätzlich das Tracking. Im Projekt AR-AQ-Bau beschäftigen sich die Autoren mit der Übertragung von BIM auf die Baustelle mittels AR-Datenbrillen und führten dazu verschiedene Trackingtests durch. Dieser Artikel zeigt vorhandene Probleme und mögliche Lösungen für das Tracking des AR-Modells auf Baustellen.

Authors: Clauß Benjamin , Schaller Stephan , Schubert Andreas
Published: December 2020

Unrunde Bauteile sind für Anwendungen in der Antriebs- und der Fügetechnik hochrelevant. Die zum Erzeugen erforderlichen Sondermaschinen weisen durch die geringe Fertigungsflexibilität häufig ein hohes Investitionsrisiko auf. Daher wurde ein prototypischer Antrieb entwickelt, der eine Unrundbearbeitung mittels Drehen auch auf bestehenden Werkzeugmaschinen erlaubt. Funktionsnachweise erfolgten durch die Erzeugung verschiedener Unrundgeometrien an Proben aus vergütetem und gehärtetem Stahl.

Non-circular parts are of high relevance for powertrain and joining applications. The required special-purpose machine tools typically exhibit a high investment risk due to a low manufacturing flexibility. Accordingly, a prototypical drive was developed to enable non-circular machining by turning with existing machine tools. Proofs of functionality are based on machining different non-circular geometries using quenched and tempered as well as hardened steel.
Geschwindigkeitsabhängiger Materialabtrag beim Polieren/Influence of feed velocity on material removal for corrective polishing – Velocity dependent material removal in polishing
Authors: Adam Barnabas , Karpuschewski Bernhard , Riemer Oltmann
Published: December 2020

Kenntnisse über den Materialabtrag sind für die Steuerung von Korrekturpolierprozessen essenziell. Basierend auf der Preston-Hypothese wird bei Polierprozessen ein linearer Einfluss der Relativgeschwindigkeit auf den Materialabtrag angenommen. Dieser Beitrag untersucht experimentell den Einfluss der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit auf den Materialabtrag beim abrasiven Subapertur-Polieren und gibt einen Ausblick auf eine Gestaltung deterministischer Polierprozesse.

Knowledge of material removal is essential for controlling corrective polishing processes. Based on the Preston hypothesis, a linear influence of feed velocity on material removal is assumed for polishing processes. The presented article investigates experimentally the influence of feed rate on material removal for abrasive-subaperture polishing and gives an outlook on a design of deterministic polishing processes.
Konzipierung der Taxonomie des automatischen Fahrens in der Produktion/Conception of the Taxonomy of automatic driving in the production – Systems engineering processing- and display methodology for multidimensional processes
Authors: Schönauer Moritz
Published: December 2020

Als Voraussetzung zur Bewertung einer systemtechnischen Problemstellung, wie die des automatischen Fahrens in der Produktion, wird im zweiten Beitrag des dreiteiligen Forschungsvorhabens, in Anlehnung an die Repertory Grid Methode, eine Taxonomie modelliert und visualisiert. Datenbasis ist das im ersten Teil erhobene morphologische Merkmalsschema. Im Fokus steht die Klassifizierung und damit einhergehend die Konstituierung von Vergleichbarkeit der identifizierten Cluster. Die Taxonomie bildet den Ausgangspunkt für nutzerorientierte, individuelle Auswertungen der Daten.

In order to generate the prerequisites for evaluating a system-technical problem, such as automatic driving in the production, in the second contribution of the three-part research project a taxonomy, based on the repertory grid method, is modeled and visualized. The morphological scheme collected in the first contribution functions as the database. The focus is on classifying the identified clusters, resulting in the establishment of comparability. The taxonomy forms the starting point for user-oriented, individual evaluations of the data.

Die digitale Transformation eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten bei der Verbrauchserfassung, von denen Messdienste, Immobilienverwalter und Mieter gleichermaßen profitieren. Zudem bewirkt die Corona-Pandemie ein Umdenken: Wie viel Kontakt ist tatsächlich notwendig? Und wie kann unnötiger Kontakt vermieden werden? Als regulatorische Treiber wirken das Messstellenbetriebsgesetz und die EU-Energieeffizienz-Richtlinie.

Published: December 2020

Der Umgang mit Gefahrstoffen am Arbeitsplatz erfordert oft eine sichere Umschließung, damit Beschäftigte keinen gesundheitsschädlichen Wirkungen ausgesetzt werden und es nicht zur Bildung einer gefährlichen explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre kommen kann. Der Begriff der „dichten Anlage“ findet sich daher in verschiedenen Regelwerken und Normen. Allerdings gibt es in unterschiedlichen Schriften unterschiedliche Interpretationen, was „dicht“ bedeutet. Im Rahmen einer Bachelorarbeit an der Hochschule Mannheim, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Berufsgenossenschaft Rohstoffe und Chemische Industrie (BG RCI) und der Sektion für Prävention in der chemischen Industrie der Internationalen Vereinigung für Soziale Sicherheit (IVSS Sektion Chemie) wurden insgesamt 829 deutschsprachige Literaturstellen identifiziert, in denen die Begriffe Dichtheit beziehungsweise Dichtigkeit verwendet werden. Ziel war es, durch detaillierte Analyse einen Überblick über die unterschiedliche Verwendung zu erlangen.

Published: December 2020

Amaç: Kemoterapi ve radyoterapi tedavisi vücuttaki tüm hücre fonskiyonlarını etkilemektedir. Malign hücrelerin vücuttan temislenmesi C-reaktif protein (CRP) ve ve prokalsitonin (PCT) de dahil olduğu diğer hücre ve sistemlerin bozulmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı tedavi altındaki kanser tanısı olan ve kanser öyküsü olmayan çocuk hastalardaki ateş ataklarında alınan örneklerdeki CRP ve PCT değerlerini enfeksiyon şiddetinin belirlenmesi açısından karşılaştırmaktır.

Yöntem: Çalışma retrospektif ve kesitsel olarak tasarlanmıştır. Veriler Başkent Üniversitesi Adana Turgut Noyan Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi Pediyatri Kliniğinde 01.01.2014 ile 31.12.2016 tarihleri arasında takip edilen 179 hastanın tıbbi kayıtlarından toplanmıştır. Ateş bulgusu olan hastalar arasından kemoterapi ve veya radyoterapi alan kanserli vakalar çalışma grubu için seçilirken, kanser öyküsü olmayanlar kontrol grubuna alınmıştır. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.0 programı very analizinde kullanılmıştır. Kritik anlamlılık 0.05 olarak belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular: Toplam 234 ateş atağının kaydedildiği çalışmada popülasyonun heterojenitesi yüksekti. Çalışma grubunun CRP ve WBC değerleri negatif korelasyon göstermiştir (r: -0.31, p=0.001). Benzer olarak, nötropeni derinleştikçe CRP değerlerinde artış gözlenmiştir (p=0.000). Zıt olarak, kontrol grubunda CRP seviyeleri WBC seviyelerine paralel olarak artış göstermiştir (r: 0.245, p=0.008). Çalışma grubunun analizinde lemfoma ve lösemi tanısı ile takip edilen PCT değerleri 0.5’in üzerindeki hastalarda PCT değerlerindeki artışın uzamış antibiyotik kullanım süresi ile ilişkili olduğu gözlenmiştir (p= 0,034).

Sonuçlar: Bu özgün çalışmada tedavi altındaki kanser tanısı olan ve kanser öyküsü olmayan çocuk hastalardaki ateş ataklarında alınan örneklerdeki CRP ve PCT değerleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Çocuk polülasyonda gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada enfeksiyon şiddetinin belirlenmesi açısından CRP ve PCT arasında herhangi bir üstünlüğe rastlanmamıştır.
