Hyperthermia, Overheating of the Body (Hyperthermia, Hyperthermy)

1. Hyperthermia is a condition in which the body temperature rises to extremely high values ​​of 41°C and above. Such a sharp increase in temperature can lead to serious consequences for the body, such as disruption of the functioning of internal organs, convulsions, and loss of consciousness. Hyperthermia often occurs with heatstroke or sunstroke, and can also be a symptom of certain illnesses, such as fever.

2. Hyperthermia is also used as a treatment for certain diseases. In this case, the patient's body temperature is artificially increased to 41-43°C for a short period of time using special equipment. The purpose of such hyperthermia is to destroy cancer cells in the treatment of cancer or inactivate viruses and bacteria in infectious diseases. This method is used strictly under medical supervision to avoid damage to healthy tissue.

In contrast to hyperthermia, hypothermia is a condition characterized by a decrease in body temperature below normal values.

Hyperthermia or overheating of the body is an abnormally high body temperature. This can happen for various reasons and can be dangerous to health. This condition can be caused by certain medical conditions, excessive use of alcohol or drugs, and other factors.

When body temperature rises to more than 41 degrees Celsius or reaches 43 degrees Celsius, it can lead to hyperthermia. Patients with this temperature often experience severe fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate and impaired consciousness. Seizures may also occur, breathing may become difficult, and
