Doctors at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas are warning about a less-recognized danger of summer heat: pavement burns. Their recent study suggests that people in hot places can end up in the hospital with serious burn injuries caused by contact with sizzling pavement.

During a heatwave, it's not uncommon for temperatures to climb to 40 degrees Celsius or above.

Pavements can become hot enough to burn human flesh in just two seconds in the summer, doctors have warned.

Las Vegas temperatures are forecast to remain in triple-digits for the rest of the month and into August, putting more at risk of burn injuries from hot pavement, medical officials said.

A group of ºÚÁÏÍø surgeons recently finished a 5-year study and learned something that may be no surprise to Southern Nevada residents: Pavement gets hot.

It's being called a "man-made" health epidemic. The opioid crisis is being blamed for more than two-thirds of all overdose deaths in the United States.

A study of 173 burn cases caused by hot pavement should serve as a warning to Las Vegas when the temperature hits 100 degrees.

ºÚÁÏÍø’s School of Medicine welcomed its next group of future doctors Monday. Sixty students came together for the first time to be fitted for their white coats and meet their teachers.

On Monday, I met some very smart people.

ºÚÁÏÍø is putting forth a new plan to finance its long-awaited medical school building through the sale of $125 million in bonds.

Not long ago, I had the privilege of making my first visit to the new ºÚÁÏÍø School of Medicine. It was immensely gratifying to witness firsthand the leadership, faculty and students embracing change — in the way medical students are taught and trained and in the school’s commitment to reimagining the way tomorrow’s physicians will care for their future patients.
