Cerebral malaria vivax or mixed?

Predictors of multi-organ dysfunction in heatstroke.

BACKGROUND Heatstroke is a medical emergency that results from failure of thermoregulatory mechanism coupled with an exaggerated acute phase response, causing an elevation in core body temperature that rises above 40 degrees C, producing multi-organ dysfunction. It carries a high mortality rate, and in survivors, a risk of permanent neurological damage. OBJECTIVE To investigate predictors of ...

Resuscitation from experimental heatstroke by estrogen therapy.

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of estrogen therapy on inflammatory responses, cardiovascular functions, and survival in a rat model of heatstroke. DESIGN Controlled, prospective study. SETTING Hospital medical research laboratory. SUBJECTS Sprague-Dawley rats (280-312 g of body weight, males and females). INTERVENTIONS Four major groups of anesthetized rats were designated for exp...

Heatstroke: thermoregulation, pathophysiology, and predisposing factors.

Heatstroke is a common veterinary emergency that, depending on the severity of injury, can progress to a life-threatening condition. Heatstroke can be classic (nonexertional) or exertional. Classic heatstroke develops when the body is exposed to high external temperatures, whereas exertional heatstroke is caused by strenuous exercise. Thermoregulation is the intrinsic ability of the body to mai...

Initial Chest Radiographic Findings in Heatstroke Patients

Objective: To describe imaging-specific findings on the initial chest radiographs in a group of heatstroke patients. Materials and Methods: An experienced radiologist retrospectively evaluated the initial chest radiographs of 15 heatstroke patients from the September 2016 Mecca stampede. The presence of endotracheal intubation, pleural effusions, airspace opacities, interstitial opacities or br...
