AI Article Synopsis
- * Initial checks showed no immediate issues, but her lab results indicated a fast-developing condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) alongside an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.
- * Tragically, she died 38 hours after being admitted due to complications from DIC, highlighting the severe risks of heat exposure and the need for preventive measures.
Article Abstract
Heat exposure could cause organ injuries leading to multi-organ failure. This case report describes a cardiopulmonary healthy 61-year-old woman who was admitted to our university hospital in an unconscious state after spending more than 30 min in an 80°C sauna. Initial radiological imaging revealed no pathological findings. Laboratory results revealed a rapidly progressing disseminated intravascular coagulation ("DIC") and a clinically asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. The patient died 38 h after admission due to a second-stage subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with progressive DIC. This report emphasizes the importance of awareness and strategies to mitigate deadly consequences of heat exposure.

The aim of this study was to assess the potential causal relationship between lifestyle factors and intracranial aneurysms (IAs) using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. The study used a pooled dataset from a genome-wide association study that covered information on 24 lifestyle factors, intracranial aneurysm cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and unruptured aneurysms. Five MR methods were applied for analysis by selecting single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables, with the inverse variance weighting method as the main method.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the global burden of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15-39 years from 1990 to 2021, highlighting spatial and temporal trends and providing insights for future public health strategies.
Methods: Data were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), which includes comprehensive evaluations of health conditions and associated risk factors across 204 countries and territories. The focus was on SAH incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) among AYAs.
