Near-fatal heat stroke during the 1995 heat wave in Chicago

TL;DR: The numerous persons who presented with near-fatal classic heat stroke during the Chicago heat wave provided an opportunity to analyze the clinical course of this condition and prompted a 1-year follow-up to assess delayed functional outcome and mortality.

The harmful health effects of recreational ecstasy: a systematic review of observational evidence

TL;DR: A broad range of relatively low-quality literature suggests that recreational use of ecstasy is associated with significant deficits in neurocognitive function (particularly immediate and delayed verbal memory) and increased psychopathological symptoms.

Integrated Physiological Mechanisms of Exercise Performance, Adaptation, and Maladaptation to Heat Stress

TL;DR: The "traditional" notion that high core temperature is the critical mediator of exercise performance degradation and heat stroke is questioned, to perhaps explain heat stroke cases reported in low-risk populations performing routine activities.

Heat stroke: Role of the systemic inflammatory response

TL;DR: Current clinical and experimental evidence suggests a complex interplay between heat cytotoxicity, coagulation, and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that ensues following damage to the gut and other organs.

Pathology of deaths associated with "ecstasy" and "eve" misuse.

TL;DR: The data suggest that there is more than one mechanism of damage in ring substituted amphetamine misuse, injury being caused by hyperthermia in some cases, but with ring substituted Amphetamines also possibly having a toxic effect on the liver and other organs in the absence ofhyperthermia.
