We prospectively studied the clinical, biochemical (including creatine phosphokinase (CPK) isoenzymes) and electrocardiographic features of exertional heat stroke in 13 patients (group 1) and severe heat exhaustion in 14 patients (group 2). Despite initial presentations with severe hyperthermia,
BACKGROUND
This paper presents a further analysis of biochemical data collected during a 1 year prospective study of 106 cases of heat exhaustion at a deep underground metalliferous mine.
RESULTS
Multiple regression analysis results indicate that the haemoglobin, serum creatinine and plasma lactate
OBJECTIVE
To examine the incidence, clinical state, personal risk factors, haematology, and biochemistry of heat exhaustion occurring at a deep underground metalliferous mine. To describe the underground thermal conditions associated with the occurrence of heat exhaustion.
METHODS
A 1 year
Intensive training in a humid and warm environment can cause exertional heat stroke (ExHS) and rhabdomolysis (RBD) in military recruits. To investigate the role of vitamin D and monomeric calcitonin (CT) on the calcium metabolism in ExHS with RBD and acute renal failure (ARF), we studied 21 recruits
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with presumed environmental hyperthermia.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review was performed in 2 institutions with patients who were seen in the ED and had a
To explore the clinical characteristics and early sensitive indicators of severe heat stroke patients in order to predict the development of severe heat stroke in the early stage.METHODS
Thirty-eight patients with severe heat stroke admitted to
BACKGROUND
Heat stroke is the clinical syndrome produced when the body overheats. It can develop in the army and in healthy civilian populations who physically exert themselves in a hot and humid environment during the summer, and may result in a significant number of heat-related deaths. Since
The severity of exertional heat illnesses (EHI) ranges from relatively minor heat exhaustion to potentially life-threatening heat stroke. Epidemiological surveillance of the types of and trends in EHI incidence depends on application of the appropriate International Classification of Disease, 9th
UNASSIGNED
Data regarding the characteristics and outcomes of heat illness are lacking in the literature. The present study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics, morbidity, management, and mortality associated with heat illness among Hajj participants.
UNASSIGNED
A cross-sectional study
The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine Committee recently proposed a novel classification system for the severity of heat-related illnesses. The illnesses are simply classified into three stages based on symptoms and management or treatment. Stages I, II, and III broadly correspond to heat
Heatstroke is the most severe form of heat-related disorders that include mild heat intolerance, heat exhaustion and heat stress. The incidence of heat-related disorders is increasing due to several factors that include climate change, co-morbidities and drug usage. Patients with heatstroke present
BACKGROUND
Severe heat-related illness can result in hospitalisation and possibly death. These illnesses are potentially preventable; in Australia high environmental temperatures are common.
OBJECTIVE
To identify (i) possible risk factors for hospital attendance with heat-related illness during a
