Overlapping Mechanisms of Exertional Heat Stroke and Malignant Hyperthermia: Evidence vs. Conjecture
AbstractExertional heat stroke (EHS) and malignant hyperthermia (MH) are life-threatening conditions, triggered by different environmental stimuli that share several clinical symptoms and pathophysiological features. EHS manifests during physical activity normally, but not always, in hot and humid environments. MH manifests during exposure to haloalkane anesthetics or succinylcholine, which leads to a rapid, unregulated release of calcium (Ca2+) within the skeletal muscles inducing a positive-feedback loop within the excitation –contraction coupling mechanism that culminates in heat stroke-like symptoms, if not rapidly r...

The Novel Single-Stroke Kayak Test: Can It Discriminate Between 200-m and Longer-Distance (500- and 1000-m) Specialists in Canoe Sprint?
CONCLUSIONS: The F-V relationship assessed during both specific (SSKT) and nonspecific upper-body tasks (bench press and bench pull) may distinguish between kayakers specialized in different distances. PMID: 32942255 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perceptions of Secondary School Athletic Trainers in the Diagnosis of Exertional Heat Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggested that the health belief model constructs were associated with the performance of best practice, including using rectal thermometry to diagnose EHS. Researchers should aim to create tailored interventions based on health behavior to improve the adoption of best practice. PMID: 32947610 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Exertional Heat-Stroke Management Practices and Intentions Among Secondary School Football Athletic Trainers.
CONCLUSIONS: Inconsistencies occurred between intended and actual use of EHS management strategies. The standard of care for managing patients with suspected cases of EHS were not consistently used in clinical practice, although ATs who did not treat EHS stated they intended to use these management strategies more frequently. Future researchers should identify factors that preclude ATs from using the standard of care when treating patients with suspected cases of EHS. PMID: 32966554 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of a single mental chronometry training session in subacute stroke patients – a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionEven a single training session can modulate MC abilities and BBT motor execution in a task-specific way. Severe sensory deficits are associated with poorer motor performance and poorer MC ability, but do not have a negative impact on training-associated changes of mental chronometry. Studies with longer treatment periods should explore if the observed changes can further be expanded.Trial registrationDRKS,DRKS00020355, registered March 9th, 2020, retrospectively registered

Age- and Sex-Based Differences in Exertional Heat Stroke Incidence in a 7-Mile Road Race.
CONCLUSIONS: In this unique investigation of EHS incidence in a road race, we found a 29% decreased EHS risk in females compared with males. However, when sex was considered with age and WBGT, only younger age accounted for an increased incidence of EHS. These results suggest that road race medical organizers should consider participant demographics when organizing the personnel and resources needed to treat patients with EHS. Specifically, organizers of events with greater numbers of young runners (aged 19 to 39 years) and males should prioritize ensuring that medical personnel are adequately prepared to handle patients w...

Assessing the Validity of Aural Thermometry for Measuring Internal Temperature in Patients With Exertional Heat Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Aural thermometry is not an accurate method of diagnosing EHS and should not be used as an alternative to rectal thermometry. Using aural thermometry to diagnosis EHS can result in catastrophic outcomes, such as long-term sequelae or fatality. PMID: 33449102 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A randomized sham-controlled trial on the effects of dual-tDCS “during” physical therapy on lower limb performance in sub-acute stroke and a comparison to the previous study using a “before” stimulation protocol
ConclusionA single-session of dual-tDCS during PT induced no additional advantage on lower limb performance. The “before” group seemed to induce better acute effects; however, the benefits of the after-effects on motor learning for both stimulation protocols were probably not different.Trial registration Current randomized controlled trials was prospectively registered at the clinicaltrials.gov, registration number: NCT04051671. The date of registration was 09/08/2019.

Knowledge gaps persist regarding exertional heat stroke treatment
J Athl Train. 2022 Sep 1. doi: 10.4085/1062-6050-366-19. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndividualized patient care is ideal to treat and rehabilitate athletic illnesses and injuries. Exertional heat stroke (EHS) treatment best practice recommendations state all patients should undergo identical cold water immersion (CWI) treatment for ideal outcomes. It is unknown, however, if CWI can be optimized with individualized treatment plans, encouraging personalized medicine. To accomplish this task, clinicians and researchers need to better understand factors impacting CWI effectiveness. This short report will provide an update t...
