This study in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health examines the burden of heat related illness from climate change on the emergency room setting. Findings included a greatest rise in visits in July for heat related illness with highest preponderance in the south, where there me less resources.

This article in Environmental International estimated the risk of work related injuries in extreme heat in relation to gender, job type, and economic sector. Findings included an association of young men being more vulnerable to high temperatures and women and elderly being more vulnerable to lower temperatures.

This study in Atherosclerosis looked at USA county data on cardiovascular and stroke mortality and correlated this to future calculated disease and temperature risks. An increased in premature deaths from cardiovascular disease was seen in rising ambient temperatures.

This article in Structural Change and Economic Dynamics details health data in China to estimate health effect from extreme heat. Increased morbidity, disease severity, hospitalization, and cost of disease will lead to significant increases in health cost in China for each day of extreme heat.

This database study in Social Science and Medicine looked at morbidity from hospitalizations and inequalities in those affected by extreme temperatures in England. Infectious disease, metabolic diseases, respiratory illness and injuries were each affected by extremes of temperatures.

This article in Climatic Change incorporated data from city specific mortality and corresponding weather. The model showed increasing deaths from hot days, decreasing deaths from cold days and overall increased deaths from extreme temperatures combined.

This study in Environmental Research Letter looks at the 2003 heat wave and uses data and models to link the human influence in this event and impact on human mortality. Based on their findings, there was a significant increase in mortality because of climate change.

This study in Environmental Research used data from New York City to create models on how extreme temperature would affect various populations. This was then used to look at fetal factors such as birth weight.

This review in Journal of Extreme Events overviewed themes in the literature on heat planning, looked for common themes and discussed institutional challenges and opportunities. Strategies for heat island management including vegetation, land use and infrastructure were outlined.
