Case report: severe heat stroke with multiple organ dysfunction
Introduction. Heat stroke is a life-threatening disease characterized by hyperpyrexia (elevated core body temperature exceeding 40°C) and predominant central nervous system dysfunction resulting in delirium, convulsion or coma [].In many clinical and pathogenetic aspects, heat stroke resembles sepsis, requiring aggressive intensive care treatments, and there is growing evidence that ...
Heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is part of a spectrum of heat-related illnesses that can affect all individuals, although children, older adults, and those with chronic disease are particularly vulnerable due to their impaired ability to dissipate heat. If left uninterrupted, there can be progression of symptoms to heatstroke, a life-threatening emergency.
Impact of Excessive Heat on the Frequency of Work-Related Injuries
With U.S. officials bracing for another summer of dangerous heat, this new study measures the extent to which excessive heat has increased the incidence of work-related injuries in recent years by considering injuries like heat exhaustion as well as accidents like falling off a ladder on a hot day. The study uses claims data and weather data ...

Heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is a condition that happens when your body overheats due to exposure to high temperatures and strenuous activity. Learn how to recognize the signs, treat the symptoms and prevent heat exhaustion from becoming a life-threatening heatstroke.
Case Study: Hyperthermia
Case Background. Hyperthermia occurs when the body temperature increases without an increase in the set point of the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are two common forms of hyperthermia. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include thirst, fatigue, profuse sweat, and giddiness or delirium.
