RESUMEN
Thyrotoxicosis is the clinical condition resulting from an excess of thyroid hormones for any reason. The main causes are Graves-Basedow disease, toxic multinodular goitre and toxic adenoma. The medical treatment to control thyroid function includes antithyroid drugs, beta blockers, iodine solutions, corticosteroids and cholestyramine. Although therapeutic plasma exchange is not generally part of the therapy, it is an alternative as a preliminary stage before the definitive treatment. This procedure makes it possible to eliminate T4, T3, TSI, cytokines and amiodarone. In most cases, more than one cycle is necessary, either daily or every three days, until clinical improvement is observed. The effect on thyrotoxicosis is temporary, with an approximate duration of 24-48h. This approach has been proposed as a safe and effective alternative when the medical treatment is contraindicated or not effective, and when there is multiple organ failure or emergency surgery is required.

INTRODUCTION: Nutrition education (NE), as part of the treatment of eating disorders (EDs), plays a crucial role in helping patients to change their food attitudes and routines, lose fears, and recover a healthy eating pattern. All these changes may contribute to improving their nutritional status. However, there is a lack of consensus and standardization concerning the procedures to teach it. This work's objective was to elaborate a consensual protocol for NE implementation in the treatment of EDs to help in decision-making regarding which patients are appropriate candidates to receive NE, the agents (family, school community) and professionals involved, and the areas in the healthcare system that are best suited for implementation. Moreover, it would help in selecting the the topics to be imparted, and in following up treatment progression.
INTRODUCCIÓN: La educación nutricional (EN), dentro del tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), juega un papel fundamental ya que contribuye a que el paciente modifique sus actitudes y rutinas en relación con la comida, pierda miedos y restablezca un patrón de alimentación saludable, favoreciendo de este modo su recuperación nutricional. Sin embargo, existe falta de consenso y estandarización acerca de los procedimientos para llevarla a cabo. El objetivo de este trabajo es elaborar un protocolo consensuado de EN en el contexto del tratamiento de los TCA que permita ayudar a la toma de decisiones sobre: los pacientes candidatos a recibirla, los agentes (familia, comunidad escolar) y profesionales implicados, los ámbitos de implementación de la intervención, la información sobre los pacientes que es necesario conocer, los temas, objetivos y contenidos a trabajar, y la necesidad de evaluación de la progresión del paciente y los programas desarrollados.
