BACKGROUND: This paper presents a further analysis of biochemical data collected during a 1 year prospective study of 106 cases of heat exhaustion at a deep underground metalliferous mine.
RESULTS: Multiple regression analysis results indicate that the haemoglobin, serum creatinine and plasma lactate concentrations are statistically significant predictors of the anion gap. Together, …

Effect of hyperthermia in vitro and in vivo on adenine and pyridine nucleotide p…
Hyperthermia has been shown in vitro and in vivo to potentiate the effects of ionizing irradiation. Previous studies found that hyperthermia alters the metabolism of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymers required for recovery from DNA damage and that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity is very sensitive to cellular nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels.
Thus, the effe… |

Exertional heat stroke in a young woman: gender differences in response to therm…
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is an acute life-threatening emergency that necessitates the immediate institution of cooling measures. Reported here is a case of EHS in a nonacclimatized young woman who was undergoing strenuous exercise.
The patient developed many of the characteristic features of EHS, including central nervous system disturbances, lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, coag… |
