    Stress Hyperglycaemia (SH) evolving especially in the acute period of diseases and in post-traumatic patients is appeared in many diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Patients with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus may also present with complications of diabetes, with 5% fatal courses. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients who applied to Emergency Department (ED) for various reasons. The files of the patients were retrospectively examined. The patients were divided into the following groups: Group 0: No prior diagnosis of diabetes. Group 1: Stress hyperglycaemia. Group 2: Diabetes mellitus. Group 3: The patients had not been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus before visiting the emergency department, and they were not taking any treatment for diabetes. Group 4: Newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. Group 2 had the highest number of patients (64.4%), followed by Group 3 (10.4%), Group 4 (4.3%), and Group 0 (4.1%). The highest average blood glucose values were found in Group 2 (258.00), followed by Group 3 (230.00), and Group 4 (237.00). Undiagnosed patients with diabetes mellitus risk can apply with complications, and this not only threatens the lives of these patients but also dramatically reduces their quality of their life. It should be considered that there could be diabetes mellitus patients, as well as stress hyperglycaemia patients, with a high blood sugar level, in the emergency department. Thus, we believe that patients diagnosed with a high blood sugar level should be advised to attend their family practices and/or a polyclinic for disease monitoring, with follow-up in an endocrine unit.

    Role of Computed Tomography Severity Index in Acute Diagnosis and Follow-up of Acute Pancreatitis
    (Derman Medical Publ, 2017) Biberoglu, Serap; Koyuncu, Murat; Ozturk, Derya; Toksoz, Ahmet Cevdet; Cakmakci, Emin; Cakmak, Fatih; Ikizceli, Ibrahim
    We aimed to identify the role that computed tomography (CT) plays in the emergency services and during treatmentin the process of establishing an early diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and detecting potential complications that can emerge. Material and Method: Seventy-six patients who presented to a Training and Research Hospital's Emergency Department and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (AP) were included in the study. Patients' files were evaluated retrospectively and their CT severity index (CTSI) values were obtained using Balthazar classification. Results: There was no significant difference between the ratio of patients with and without ultrasonographic features and patients whose CTSI was 3 and above. The ratio of being in the intensive care unit was significantly higher in patients with CTSI scores of 3-6 when compared to those with CTSI scores of 0-2. Two patients who died had CTSI scores in the range of 7-10. Discussion: CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of AP and the follow-up of patients diagnosed with the disease. Thus, CT can be an important parameter in the prediction of complications, as well as a preferred method for predicting the morbidity and mortality of patients diagnosed with AP.
