Appendicitis inflicts diagnostic difficulties, particularly in ambiguous morbid symptoms defined in the scale ALVARDO in the section 4-6 pt.The aim of the study was the comparison of the diagnostic values of the classic method of recognizing appendicitis and those improved by ultrasonographic examination.Material and methods. Patients were classified in this investigation according to symptoms from the section compartment 4-6 pt of the ALVARADO scale. Qualification for the treatment was determined according to the medical investigation and laboratory examinations. Ultrasonography (US) was executed in all patients with the aim of the evaluation of the appendix. The percentage of correct recognitions by means of the classic diagnostics was compared to the percentage determined with the aid of US.Results. It was affirmed that in ambiguous clinical cases of appendicitis, the addition of US to the traditional investigational diagnostics improoves the percentage of correct recognitions of appendicitis from 62.8% to 86.2% (p<0.01).Conclusion. With the US supplementing the classic diagnostics, the percentage of correct recognitions of appendicitis enlarges in adult patients with the suspicion of appendicitis with so-called "grey zone" symptoms comprised in the scoring 4-6 pt of the ALVARADO scale.

WSTĘP: Dietetycy podkreślają, że właściwie skomponowana dieta wegetariańska może być stosowana przez ludzi na różnych etapach ich życia. Jednak wciąż wiele osób uważa, że takie działanie może prowadzić do ujawniana się zaburzeń zdrowotnych. Celem pracy było określenie, czy dieta wegetariańska może być stosowana przez kobiety w ciąży bez ryzyka wystąpienia zaburzeń zdrowotnych u nich lub u płodów. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Analizie poddano informacje odnoszące się do możliwości stosowania diety wegetariańskiej w czasie ciąży. Analizowano wyniki kilkunastu badań, w których porównywano występowanie określonych czynników u kobiet w ciąży stosujących dietę wegetariańską oraz u kobiet w ciąży spożywających mięso. WYNIKI: Obecnie wciąż niewiele jest badań oceniających stan zdrowia kobiet w ciąży stosujących dietę wegetariańską oraz ich dzieci. W badaniach tych porównywana jest biodostępność składników odżywczych, składników mineralnych oraz witamin. Analizowane są nawyki żywieniowe kobiet w ciąży stosujących dietę wegetariańską oraz porównywany jest stan zdrowia dzieci urodzonych przez wegetarianki oraz kobiety spożywające mięso. WNIOSKI: Przestawione w pracy wyniki badań pozwalają stwierdzić, że właściwie opracowana dieta wegetariańska może być stosowana przez kobiety w ciąży i niesie ze sobą ryzyka wystąpienia niedoborów czy zaburzeń w rozwoju płodu.
