Analysis of Clinical Symptoms and Brain MRI of Heat Stroke: 2 Case Reports and a Literature Review
Introduction: Heat stroke is defined as high body temperature causing multiple organ failure, psychological change, seizure, and consciousness disturbance, which lead to its high mortality rate. However, the involvement of brain injury is rare, and heat-stroke has only been reported in a few case reports or case series. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the clinical symptoms and radiological features of heat stroke. Methods: We reviewed our hospital records and previously published reports to find cases of heat stroke.

Heat Stroke Isn ’t Just a Short-Term Danger
With each summer of increased extreme heat, more people worldwide face the risks associated with heat exposure. Last year, Europe saw a record number of heat-related deaths, and even regions more used to dealing with hot weather, like South Asia, are seeing high temperatures start earlier and earlier in the season. Heat stroke—the most dangerous form of heat-related illness—is a growing threat and creates a public health quandary since there’s still no available treatment other than simply cooling victims down. What’s more, early research seems to suggest heat stroke could lead to further health con...

Athletes at risk: Knowing the dangers of heat stroke
For many young athletes, fall sports practices have already started. Whether it’s football two-a-days, soccer practices on a sweltering turf field, or cross country training in the late summer sun, the threat of heat exhaustion and heat stroke is prevalent across all sports.
It’s an important time for athletes and parents to be aware of the signs of heat illnesses, especially given that children and adolescents are more susceptible to heat stroke than adults. Younger athletes produce more heat during activity, sweat less, and adjust less rapidly to changes in environmental heat.
Certain sports also carry unique risks f...

“His Entire Body Was Shutting Down”: New State Rankings Show Gaps in High School Athlete Safety
By mid-afternoon on August 1, 2017, the temperature in Stockton, Calif. was at least 105 degrees. Thirteen-year-old Jayden Galbert complained to his mother, Shynelle Jones, about the heat, but didn’t want to skip preseason football practice and hurt his chances of making the freshman football team. Instead, he showed up, pushed himself to participate, and then collapsed on the field. “He started vomiting and he was shaking,” Jones says. “He couldn’t see. He was trying to focus, but he couldn’t.” Jayden was eventually airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with...

Out-of-Hospital Cold Water Immersion for Classic (Non-Exertional) Heat Stroke Guided by Real-time Core Temperature Monitoring: A Case Series
Prehosp Emerg Care. 2022 Nov 15:1-11. doi: 10.1080/10903127.2022.2148795. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeat stroke is a problem that occurs primarily in the out-of-hospital environment. "Cool first, transport second" has been emphasized in consensus statements and systematic reviews regarding the treatment of exertional heat stroke by both EMS and the sports medicine/athletic training communities. However, there remains little guidance on cooling recommendations for the out-of-hospital care of non-exertional heat stroke or classic heat stroke. There is no consensus on the safety or feasibility of cooling classic heat stro...
