This paper describes supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias and sick sinus syndrome in patients with univentricular heart defects, following Fontan procedure. The Fontan operation is a well established surgical procedure in which the right atrium is connected with the pulmonary artery. This technique relieves the functional problems resulting from having a univentricular heart and it is also associated with a lot of complications. Results from 29 patients were included in our study for analysis. All patients with single ventricle were diagnosed and hospitalized in the Department of Paediatric Cardiology in Katowice during 1994-2008. Supraventricular cardiac arrhyhtmias and sick sinus syndrome were common complications in children who went through Fontan procedure. All the stages of treatment with the Fontan procedure are palliative in their character and their main advantage is the improvement in the quality and length of life.

In this paper the usefulness of Computed Tomography (CT) in earlier diagnosis of cancers is presented. Computed Tomography can be utilized as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of malignant tumors, monitoring of therapy and during follow-up or remission phase. The images provided by CT scans depict precise location of the tumor damaged tissues and/or organs. In investigations results of 29 patients examinations were analysed. All patients were diagnosed with malignancy tumors and hospitalised in Klinika Chorób Wewnętrznych i Reumatologii (The Clinic of Internal Medicine and Rheumatology) in Katowice during 2003 - 2006. Earlier examination by using CT allows to diagnose some type of cancers. Such examination is unfortunately expensive. For patients with paraneoplastic syndromes CT examination is especially recommended. For these type of patients effectiveness of proposed in this paper method is more than 80%. These results are very promising.
