    BACKGROUND: Today, at least 1 television (TV) is owned in most households, and watching TV has become a significant part of daily life. Time spent in front of the TV has increased as its popularity has grown, which may pose a danger to children. The aim of the present study was to draw attention to cases of TV tip-over-related pediatric injuries. METHODS: Cases of TV tip-over injuries of pediatric patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Kayseri Training and Research Hospital recorded between June 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013 were included. Data were prospectively collected, including age and gender of patient, part(s) of the body affected, Glasgow Coma Scale score, TV screen size and brand, and whether the patient was hospitalized in the general ward or the intensive care unit (ICU). RESULTS: There were 53 pediatric patients enrolled in the study, including 30 males (56.6%) and 23 females (43.4%). Eight patients (17%) had a fracture somewhere in the body, whereas 45 patients (83%) had no fracture. Of patients with a fracture, 3 (2 males, 1 female) were treated in the general ward and 3 (male) in the intensive care unit. One male patient died. CONCLUSION: An increasing number of individuals present to emergency services with injuries sustained by TV toppling. Cases of injury, permanent disability, and even death associated with falling TVs suggest that awareness of the danger should be increased, as it may affect children in particular.

    Hyperglycaemia in the emergency department: stress hyperglycaemia or diabetes mellitus.

    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.
