This study tests whether wetting the skin or wearing a water-soaked T-shirt can help people with heart failure stay cooler and reduce stress on the heart during hot, dry conditions. Researchers will expose 88 participants (half with heart failure, half healthy) to simulated heat …

This study looks at why some people get sick from heat and sun exposure while others don't. Researchers will monitor 80 healthy volunteers in Denmark and Greece as they undergo controlled heat and UV radiation in a lab. The goal is to develop personalized alerts and advice to hel…

This study compares three common emergency room cooling methods for people with dangerously high body temperature (hyperthermia). Fifty healthy adults will exercise until their core temperature rises above 39°C, then be cooled using cooling packs, ice-soaked sheets with a fan, or…

This study aims to find the best work/rest schedule for soldiers in hot weather, so they can finish missions faster without overheating or getting too tired. Researchers will measure body temperature, strength, and heart rate in 24 healthy, active adults during exercise in the he…

This study tests whether water spray, fans, or both can reduce heat-related stress on the heart and body in older adults. One hundred healthy volunteers aged 65 and older will sit in a hot climate chamber while researchers measure their temperature and heart function. The goal is…

This study follows 500 breast cancer patients whose cancer has returned in the same area (locoregional recurrence). They receive standard care: re-irradiation with or without hyperthermia (heat therapy). The goal is to track side effects, quality of life, and survival over five y…
