Original Source: Geographical differences on the mortality impact of heat waves in Europe.
ABSTRACT: Climate change is potentially the biggest global health threat in the 21st century. Deaths related with heat waves and spread of infectious diseases will be part of the menace though the major impact will be caused by malnutrition, diarrhea and extreme climate events. Consequently, loss of healthy life years as a result of global climate change is predicted to be 500 times greater in poor African populations than in European populations. However, the increase of more than 2 degrees C of average te...

Heat wave safety tips from Children's Hospital Los Angeles
With July 2012 on record as being one of the hottest months in U.S. history and the August heat showing no let up in many parts of the country, how can parents protect their children's health during a...
July heat wave set records across Northeast
July's recent heat wave broke records for longevity and came close to all-time temperature highs in several major cities, says climatologist Jessica Rennells.
Heat wave especially dangerous for kids
Extreme heat continues to plague the nation with many areas seeing record temperatures. Though everyone needs to take precautions when it comes to dangerous heat, it’s especially important to watch...
Heat Wave May Make Womb a Dangerous Place (CME/CE)
(MedPage Today) -- Heat waves and other ambient heat exposure indicators during an embryo's critical period were positively associated with congenital cataracts, results of a population-based case con...
Unidirectional spin-wave heat conveyer
The dissipation of heat towards cooler regions of a thermodynamic system is a ubiquitous phenomenon. It is now shown that collective excitations known as spin waves can be used to control the flow of...

The impact of heat waves on mortality in 9 European cities: results from the EuroHEAT project.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The present study aimed at developing a standardized heat wave definition to estimate and compare the impact on mortality by gender, age and death causes in Europe during summers...
Excess mortality and morbidity during the July 2006 heat wave in Porto, Portugal.
The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of the July 2006 heat wave through the use of the heat index, in mortality (all causes) and morbidity (all causes, respiratory and circulatory d...
Climate and heat-related emergencies in Chicago, Illinois (2003-2006).
Extreme heat events are responsible for more deaths in the United States than floods, hurricanes and tornados combined. Yet, highly publicized events, such as the 2003 heat wave in Europe which caused...
High temperatures and health outcomes: A review of the literature.
AIMS: To analyse the relationship between high temperatures and population health impacts, in terms of mortality and morbidity. METHODS: A literature search was conducted using Medline to collect data...
We propose a simple method to provide a rapid and robust estimate of the short-term impacts of heat waves on mortality, to be used for communication within a heat warning system. The excess mortality...
