Contertulios,
Puse al día todo el contenido de mi blog "EPIDEMIOLOGÍA AL DÍA". Encontrarán decenas de links a recursos de epidemiología, salud pública, bioestadística y vacunología, recolectados durante años.
Sugiero ver versión web.

@drfjimenez7274 @bytelord_mex @OutOfContextMex Está lleno de trabajos igual de dedicados, miles de ellos. No es exclusivo del mesero.

@bytelord_mex @OutOfContextMex Lógicamente recibe un sueldo. Pero el que haga su trabajo enfocado en tu bienestar merece un extra. El consumo de todos modos la vas a pagar donde sea. Pero es el deleite de la experiencia que solo quien lo disfruta esta dispuesto a pagar. No es una costumbre es algo mutuo

@borlismo @juancarlossaid Esa es la forma más rasca de medicina preventiva “tomarte exámenes de rutina”. Hablemos en serio.

@juancarlossaid Un ejemplo… Banmédica. Ojo q no digo q son la panacea… sólo q sí hacen algo en la línea de la prevención, cosa q valoro.

Correct Answer: C. Ice-water immersion (IWI) 🧊
I know, why not A? Lets see and learn ↘️ what guidelines by the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and Consensus Statement on the Pre-Hospital Management of Exertional Heat Illness – November 2024, National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) have to say
Ice-water immersion is the gold standard for the treatment of exertional heat stroke (EHS), as emphasized in guidelines by the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. EHS is a life-threatening condition defined by core body temperature ≥40°C (104°F) and central nervous system dysfunction (e.g., confusion, agitation, or collapse). Immediate and aggressive whole-body cooling is essential, with IWI reducing core temperature at a rate of 0.15–0.20°C per minute, the fastest and most effective method.
In contrast, Option A (IV fluids and antipyretics) addresses volume depletion and hyperthermia but is insufficient to rapidly lower core temperature in EHS. Antipyretics (e.g., acetaminophen) are ineffective because heat stroke is not due to a hypothalamic reset, as seen in fever, but rather a failure of thermoregulation. Thus, delaying definitive cooling can worsen outcomes, including multi-organ failure or death. Immediate cooling with IWI remains the priority while providing supportive care such as IV fluids for hypotension.
After initiating cold-water immersion (CWI/IWI) for exertional heat stroke (EHS), the next critical concerns are managing rhabdomyolysis, electrolyte imbalances, and dehydration. Rhabdomyolysis occurs due to muscle breakdown from hyperthermia, leading to the release of myoglobin, which can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Monitoring serum creatine kinase (CK) and urine output is essential. Electrolyte abnormalities such as hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia can exacerbate cardiac dysfunction and require correction. Aggressive IV fluid resuscitation with isotonic saline helps address dehydration, maintain renal perfusion, and prevent AKI. Continuous cardiac monitoring is crucial due to the risk of arrhythmias from electrolyte disturbances.

Definitely a *heatstroke*. IV fluids may be reasonable, but low impact at this time; Antipyretics are useless because the patient does not have fever but rather hyperthermia (serious failure of thermoregulation). His body progressively produced and retained heat until he was unable to release that heat as he continued running. Therefore, to save his life we should help him get rid of the extreme temperature through physical measures such as immersion in ice water. The answer is C.

Cuidado @lun con mensajes errados: con respecto a alerta por Mycoplasma. Se señala que (sic) "La bacteria es resistente a antibióticos". Esto no es así, ya que la bacteria puede ser tratada con antibióticos de la familia de los macrólidos.
