Association of plasma diamine oxidase and intestinal fatty acid–binding protein with severity of disease in patient with heat stroke
The aim of this study was to describe the role of intestinal fatty acid–binding protein (iFABP) and allergy-related diamine oxidase (DAO) in patients with heat stroke (HS).

Fatal heat stroke associated with topiramate therapy
A 40-year-old man with diabetes and seizure disorder was found at home unresponsive and “very hot to touch” by his father 40 minutes before emergency medical services arrival. His usual medications included topiramate, divalproex sodium, and rosiglitazone/metformin. Paramedics administered oxygen, intravenous fluids, and naloxone. They did not witness or report seizure activity. Upon emergency department arrival, the patient was unresponsive (Glasgow Coma Scale 3), hypotensive (94/50 mm Hg), and tachypneic (32 breaths per minute), with a heart rate of 60 beats per minute and elevated rectal temperature peaking at 43.2�...

Simple and effective method to lower body core temperatures of hyperthermic patients
Hyperthermia is a potentially life threatening scenario that may occur in patients due to accompanying morbidities, exertion, or exposure to dry and arid environmental conditions. In particular, heat stroke may result from environmental exposure combined with a lack of thermoregulation. Key clinical findings in the diagnosis of heatstroke are (1) a history of heat stress or exposure, (2) a rectal temperature greater than 40 °C, and (3) central nervous system dysfunction (altered mental state, disorientation, stupor, seizures, or coma) (Prendergast and Erickson, 2014 [1]).
