TrulySignificant.com presents Dr. Gary Seale.
Heat levels are climbing year over year, continuously breaking the global heat record. As temperatures rise, so do life-threatening heat-related illnesses like heat stroke, which can cause permanent brain damage.  Gary is the Regional Director of Clinical Services at Houston-based Centre for Neuro Skills, is available to talk about essential tips for heat stroke prevention and taking proactive measures to avoid heat stroke that can be the difference between life and death. 

Centre for Neuro Skills, a brain injury and stroke rehabilitation provider, treats brain injuries caused by heat stroke. “Of all the heat-related illnesses, heat stroke is the most serious.  Heat stroke occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate temperature and cool down,” says Dr. Seale. 

“Body temperatures can rise rapidly to 104 degrees or higher which can cause damage to organs, including the brain, and result in permanent disability. Heat stroke can cause brain swelling, seizures, and lead to chronic inflammation, all of which disrupt brain function.”
