Heat-Related Illnesses: Risks, Treatment, and Prevention

This research explores heat-related illnesses, detailing their definition, causes, and types, alongside populations at risk. It examines key risk factors, epidemiology in specific groups, and geographic prevalence. Thermoregulation mechanisms and the hypothalamus's role in heat dissipation are discussed, with insights into effects of impaired regulation. The study outlines immediate treatment strategies for mild to severe cases and emphasises prevention through hydration, acclimatisation,...
