Severe heat stroke correlates with longer hospital stays and higher oxidative stress markers compared to mild cases
Why Your Body Fights Heat Stroke
This prospective cohort study included 49 patients with heat stroke (34 mild and 15 severe cases) and healthy volunteers.
Severe heat stroke disables a key body defense switch, letting rust damage organs and causing patients to stay in the hospital much longer.
