Wikipedia: Hyperthermia
Encyclopedia article on elevated core body temperature—definitions, heat illness, fever, and clinical induced hyperthermia contexts—tertiary navigation when readers conflate sauna bathing with whole-body hyperthermia device trials.
Scope
Covers pathologic / exertional hyperthermia, fever physiology, and therapeutic whole-body hyperthermia as distinct threads sharing the label “raised core temperature.”
Evidence discipline
Sauna dose–response, hot-bath metabolic RCTs, and Janssen-style WBH depression pilots each carry different inclusion criteria and risks—use this page for vocabulary and safety orientation; HDRS-17, insulin sensitivity %Δ, and mortality HRs remain on PubMed-linked rows under Chronic heat adaptation (chronic-heat-adaptation), Heat therapy (heat-therapy), and Sauna protocols.
Pairing in this wiki
