TLDR
The effects of heatstroke on the structure and function of the liver have been studied in Bantu gold miners and it is suggested that the hepatic changes are the result of a combination of hypoxia and direct thermal injury.About:

Near-fatal heat stroke during the 1995 heat wave in Chicago
Jane Dematte,K. O'Mara,J Buescher,Cynthia G. Whitney,Sean M. Forsythe,T McNamee,R. B. Adiga,I. M. Ndukwu +7 more
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
Gabriel Rogers,Julian Elston,Ruth Garside,Chris Roome,Rod S Taylor,P Younger,Anna Zawada,Margaret Somerville +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat stroke: Role of the systemic inflammatory response
Lisa R. Leon,Bryan G. Helwig +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: Lactic dehydrogenase like serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase rises in a characteristic fashion following myocardial infarction, and is associated with a rise in serum lactic dehydrogensase activity.
