Val Kilmer, actor norteamericano protagonista en algunas de las cintas más destacadas de las tres últimas décadas, ha fallecido a los 65 años. Un deceso que ha sido anunciado por su hija, Mercedes Kilmer, a través del diario The New York Times. El intérprete, reconocido por sus papeles en ‘Batman’ o ‘Top Gun’, ha muerto como consecuencia de una neumonía.

¿Qué es una neumonía?

La neumonía es una enfermedad inflamatoria que afecta a los pulmones, principalmente a los alvéolos, que son los sacos de aire. Estos se llenan de líquido o pus y las consecuencias pueden ser tan graves como la muerte. Entre los síntomas habituales de los pacientes de esta infección, se incluyen la tos con o sin moco, dolor torácico, fiebre, escalofríos y dificultad al respirar.

La sintomatología es variable, ya que está relacionada con el tipo de germen que provoque la neumonía. El tratamiento, siempre con la recomendación médica, se realiza con medicamentos antibióticos, antivirales o antimicóticos. Si el asunto empeora, la medicación tiene que administrarse vía intravenosa y oxigenoterapia.

Factores de riesgo y mortalidad de la neumonía

Entre los factores de riesgo, una enfermedad pulmonar crónica como la bronquiectasia o la fibrosis quística aumentan las posibilidades de tener una neumonía. Asimismo, otros problemas del sistema inmunitario, como un tratamiento para el cáncer o los meses posteriores a un trasplante de órganos, también aumentan las probabilidades de pasar por esta enfermedad.

Otros casos como las cirugías para tratar el cáncer de la boca, la garganta o el cuello, enfermedades cardiacas, diabetes o cirrosis hepática y la demencia o lesiones cerebrales. Esta enfermedad afecta a las personas fumadoras, que pueden verse perjudicadas con algunas de las patologías mencionadas.

La neumonía es la sexta causa de muerte en los países desarrollados y la primera por enfermedad infecciosa. Hay entre siete y 15 casos por cada 1.000 personas al año, de las cuales entre dos y cinco son adultos.

2025 NFL Draft Day 2 winners and losers: Steelers still need a QB; Shedeur Sanders’ free fall continues

Getty Images For the second straight day, the biggest story at the NFL Draft continues to be Shedeur Sanders. It wasn't a total shock to see him fall out of the first round on Thursday, but it was absolutely stunning to see him go undrafted on Day 2. There were a total of 70 picks made on Friday, and although three of them were quarterbacks, Sanders' name didn't get called. Yes, the free fall is continuing for Sanders, but he's not the only one who had a bad night. Let's go over our winners and losers from Friday. WINNERS CJ Stroud. It seems like the Texans' only goal in this draft was to make life easier for Stroud. After trading out of the first round, the Texans didn't get to make their first pick until Friday and they made the most of it. […]

NASCAR at Talladega: Where to watch, live stream, lineup, race preview, pick to win for the Jack Link’s 500

Getty Images LINCOLN, Ala. -- Of all racetracks across the globe where racers dare to go as fast as possible, none inspires more awe and produces a more awesome spectacle of speed than Talladega Superspeedway. Nestled in the forests of Alabama, Talladega sticks out as a massive asphalt battleground. Around its 2.66-mile length and up on top of its 33-degree banking, nowhere in the world do race cars go as fast as closely together as they do here.For the first time in 2025, the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series will screw their courage to the sticking place and try to stick at the front of the lead pack in the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega. With the field constantly three-wide and even four-wide inches apart at the highest speeds possible, Talladega is one of the most mentally demanding racetracks […]

Giants’ Brian Daboll was reportedly one coach who had negative experience with Shedeur Sanders

Getty Images As Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders continues his historical draft tumble, more details are emerging as to why this is happening. According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Sanders' slide is a reflection of how he carried himself through the pre-draft process. An unnamed coach even told NFL Media that his interview with Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life," which leads to several other questions: Did Sanders struggle in every interview? Did he purposefully bomb interviews with teams he didn't want to go to? Todd McShay of The Ringer reported recently that Sanders' interview with the New York Giants and Brian Daboll was one that did not go well."Shedeur didn't have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit," McShay said. "An install package came in. Preparation wasn't there for it. [He] […]
