OBJECTIVE To describe the current scientific evidence of recovery and return to activity following exertional heat stroke (EHS). DATA SOURCES Information was collected using MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus databases in English using combinations of key words, exertional heat stroke, recovery, rehabilitation, residual symptoms, heat tolerance, return to activity, and heat illness. STUDY SELECTION Re...

The aim of this study is to extract indicators that are associated with the heat/nonheat and excess/deficiency patterns in stroke pattern identification through the large-scale analysis of clinical data. Two experts, who had more than three years of clinical experience with stroke, independently performed the pattern identification. We analyzed indicators of clinical data with two doctors' conc...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a cooling vest on core body temperature following active dehydration and hyperthermia induced by exercising in a hot, humid environment. Based on our study, we recommend the ClimaTech HeatShield only when athletes present with mild symptoms of heat exhaustion. Fluid replacement and the prevention of heat illness have been prevalent topics ...

Heat stroke is one of the most serious condition due to high temperatures. In this body mechanism fails cool down by itself and causes severe damage brain other vital organs in body. Although heat mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young adults.

Heat-related illnesses can present with symptoms such as fatigue, cramps, and edema, and without intervention can progress to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Across Canada, the number of days per year with temperatures above 30°C and nights per year with temperatures above 22°C is expected to increase owing to climate change, resulting in increased heat-related morbidity and mortality (Figure 1...
