As Sulaymānīyah province (Arabic: محافظة السليمانية, (Kurdish: Silêmanî) is a province of Iraq, within the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. Its capital is a city of the same name, As Sulaymaniyah. surrounded by the mountains (Goyzha, Azmir,Glazarda,Piramagrun). It was established under Baban (1649-1850) dynasty in 1781 during the reign of Mahmud Pasha Baban, when it was formed it was known by its former name Namo and later changed to Sulaymānīya.

As part of the Iraq war, the province was occupied by US led coalition forces. On May 30, 2007, Sulaymānīyah was handed over to local Kurdish authorities by Coalition forces as part of a three province handover.

+'''As Sulaymānīyah province''' ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: محافظة السليمانية, ({{lang-ku|Silêmanî}}) is a province of [[Iraq]], within the [[Iraqi Kurdistan]] Region. Its capital is a city of the same name, [[As Sulaymaniyah]]. surrounded by the mountains (Goyzha, Azmir,Glazarda,Piramagrun). It was established under Baban (1649-1850) dynasty in 1781 during the reign of Mahmud Pasha Baban, when it was formed it was known by its former name Namo and later changed to Sulaymānīya.
-This page is bullshit because it is about heat stroke NOT Hyperthermia. You are all idiots!!!!!!!!
+As part of the Iraq war, the province was occupied by US led coalition forces. On May 30, 2007, Sulaymānīyah was handed over to local Kurdish authorities by Coalition forces as part of a three province handover.
-'''Hyperthermia''', in its advanced state referred to as '''heat stroke''' or '''sunstroke''', is an acute condition which occurs when the [[body]] produces or absorbs more [[heat]] than it can dissipate. It is usually due to excessive exposure to heat. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, therefore the [[body temperature]] climbs uncontrollably. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.
+==Provincial Government==
-Hyperthermia can be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. In these instances it may be used to treat [[cancer]] and other conditions. [[Malignant hyperthermia]] is a rare complication of some types of [[general anesthesia]].

+*Deputy Governor: [[Jutiar Noori Abdullah]] [http://www.christiansofiraq.com/corruptionkurdistan.html]
-The opposite of hyperthermia is [[hypothermia]], when an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism.

-==Difference between hyperthermia and fever==
-[[Image:fever-conceptual.svg|thumb|right|400px|A summary of the differences between hyperthermia, [[hypothermia]], and fever]]
-A [[fever]] occurs when the body sets the [[body temperature|core temperature]] to a higher temperature, through the action of the pre-optic region of the [[anterior hypothalamus]]. For example, in response to a  [[bacteria|bacterial]] or [[virus|viral]] infection, the body will raise its temperature to allow the immune system to work better and to deteriorate the condition of the invaders.  In contrast, hyperthermia occurs when the body temperature is raised without the consent of the heat control centers.
-==Progression==
-Body temperatures above 40[[Celsius|°C]] (104 [[Fahrenheit|°F]]) are life-threatening. This compares to [[normal human body temperature]] of 36-37°C (97-98°F). At 41°C (106 °F), [[brain death]] begins, and at 45°C (113°F) death is nearly certain. Internal temperatures above 50°C (122°F) will cause rigidity in the muscles and certain, immediate death.{{Fact|date=November 2007}}
-Heat stroke may come on suddenly, but usually follows a less-threatening condition commonly referred to as ''heat exhaustion'' or ''heat prostration''.
-After effects may include sensitivity to heat.
-==Signs and symptoms==
-One of the body's most important methods of temperature regulation is [[perspiration]]. This process draws heat from inside, allowing it to be carried off by [[radiation]] or [[convection]]. [[Evaporation]] of the sweat furthers cooling, since this [[endothermic]] process draws yet more heat from the body. When the body becomes sufficiently [[dehydration|dehydrated]] to prevent the production of sweat this avenue of heat reduction is closed. When the body is no longer capable of sweating core temperature begins to rise swiftly.
-Victims may become confused, may become hostile, often experience [[headache]], and may seem intoxicated. [[Blood pressure]] may drop significantly from dehydration, leading to possible [[fainting]] or [[dizziness]], especially if the victim stands suddenly. Heart rate and respiration rate will increase ([[tachycardia]] and [[tachypnea]]) as blood pressure drops and the heart attempts to supply enough [[oxygen]] to the body. The skin will become red as [[blood vessel]]s dilate in an attempt to increase heat dissipation. The decrease in blood pressure will cause blood vessels to contract as heat stroke progresses, resulting in a pale or bluish skin colour. Complaints of feeling hot may be followed by [[chills]] and trembling, as is the case in [[fever]]. Some victims, especially young children, may suffer [[convulsions]]. Acute dehydration such as that accompanying heat stroke can produce [[nausea]] and vomiting; temporary [[blindness]] may also be observed. Eventually, as body organs begin to fail, [[unconsciousness]] and [[coma]] will result.
-==First aid==
-Heat stroke is a medical emergency requiring [[hospitalization]], and the local emergency services should be notified as soon as possible.
-The body temperature must be lowered immediately. The victim should be moved to a cool area (indoors, or at least in the shade) and clothing removed to promote heat loss (passive cooling). Active cooling methods may be used: The person is bathed in cool water, a hyperthermia vest can be applied, however, wrapping the victim in wet towels or clothes can actually act as insulation and increase the body temperature. Cold compresses to the [[torso]], [[head]], [[neck]], and [[groin]] will help cool the victim. A fan may be used to aid in evaporation of the water (evaporative method).
-Immersing a victim into a bathtub of cool - but not cold - water (immersion method) is a recognized method of cooling. This method requires the effort of 4-5 persons and the victim should be monitored carefully during the treatment process. This should be avoided for an unconscious victim; if there is no alternative, the victim's head must be held above water. Be careful not to make the water too cold as Immersion in ice or very cold water is dangerous as this may cause [[vasoconstriction]] in the skin, preventing heat from escaping the body core.
-Hydration is of paramount importance in cooling the victim. This is achieved by drinking [[water]] (Oral rehydration). Commercial [[isotonic]] drinks may be used as a substitute. Some [http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/heat_guide.asp authorities]are opposed to giving any fluids, except by emergency personnel. Intravenous hydration (via a drip) is necessary if the victim is confused, unconscious, or unable to tolerate oral fluids.
-Alcohol rubs will cause further dehydration and impairment of consciousness and should be avoided. The victim's condition should be reassessed and stabilized by trained medical personnel. The victim's heart rate and breathing should be monitored, and [[CPR]] may be necessary if the victim goes into [[cardiac arrest]].
-The victim should be placed into the [[recovery position]] to ensure that the person's [[airway]] remains open.
-==Prevention==
-The risk of heatstroke can be reduced by observing precautions to avoid overheating and dehydration. Light, loose-fitting clothing will allow perspiration to evaporate. Wide-brimmed hats in bright colour keep the sun from warming the head and neck; vents on a hat will allow perspiration to cool the head. Strenuous exercise should be avoided during daylight hours in hot weather; so should remaining in enclosed spaces (such as automobiles). People who must be outside should be aware that humidity and the presence of direct sunlight may cause the [[heat index]] to be 10 °C (18 °F) hotter than the temperature indicated by a thermometer.
-In hot weather people need to drink plenty of liquids to replace fluids lost from sweating. Thirst is not a reliable sign that a person needs fluids. A better indicator is the color of [[urine]]. A dark yellow color indicates dehydration. Water, not [[sports drinks]], is the most effective in replacing lost fluids.
-=== Especially susceptible populations ===
-While anyone can be affected by hyperthermia, some populations are especially susceptible to heat illness and injury. As noted by Joseph Rampulla in the ''The Health Care of Homeless Persons'' :<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.bhchp.org/BHCHP%20Manual/pdf_files/Part2_PDF/Hyperthermia.pdf|title= Hyperthermia & Heat Stroke: Heat-Related Conditions|accessdate=2007-02-22 |author= Joseph Rampulla, MS,APRN,BC|year= 2004 |month= June|format=pdf |work= The Health Care of Homeless Persons |publisher=  Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program  |pages= pp.199-204| }}</ref>
-<blockquote>Heat illness most seriously affects the poor, urban dwellers, young children, those with chronic physical and mental illnesses, substance abusers, the elderly, and people who engage in excessive physical activity under harsh conditions.</blockquote>
