[The assessment of hepatic portal flow using Doppler's technique in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
A decrease in hepatic portal flow was observed within two days after open cholecystectomy but such an analysis was not done for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ No statistically significant difference was found between hepatic portal flow volume in patients with and without cholecystolithiasis. Hepatic portal flow does not change significantly within 2 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

[The epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of patients in hospice care].
The Good Samaritan Hospice in Lublin was created in 1989. At the beginning only home care was available but since 1997 stationary care is. The aim of the article was to present the clinical-population characteristics of patients treated terminally in the hospice in the year 2000. ⋯ The majority (65.6%) was treated either palliative or symptomatically. The average duration of the in-ward treatment was 22.1 days and was considerably shorter in comparison to the duration of the treatment provided at home. Concluding, the in-ward terminal care is a short term care.
