The ROC curve of the SIRS patient without infection and the sepsis patient showed that the presepsin concentration was a significantly sensitive indicator of sepsis and useful marker for the rapid diagnosis of sepsis.

One of the aims of producing non-homogeneous yarns is the improvement of their mechanical, aesthetic and comfort properties. In the case of hemp yarns, known by their predominantly technical uses, non-homogeneous yarns containing other chemical fiber yarn components besides hemp, could serve as a solution for making hemp textiles more acceptable for the production of clothing items. Different two-plied yarns, having always as one of the components 50 Tex hemp yarn, were exposed to axial stresses. Also their behavior after the relaxation of axial stress was studied in order to obtain an insight into the change of the elastic properties. Knitted fabrics of identical structure, made of these yarns, were exposed to compression and axial tests. The results obtained, correlated with the change of the relative cover of knits and to their structure (stitch density, surface mass, density, free open surface etc.) demonstrated the influence of the non-hemp components on the change of some basic properties of knits. These data could be important for the use and maintenance of hemp containing knitted clothing, as well as for their environmental acceptability.
