Published: April 2023

In this work, we report an energy upconversion system based on triplet-triplet annihilation comprised of rose bengal dye as the sensitizer and a highly fluorescent 9-(triphenyl)ethynyl-10-phenylanthracene (TPE-PAn) as the triplet annihilator. The energy upconversion can be observed with a low-power laser excitation at 532 nm or noncoherent Xe arc lamp excitaion at 540 nm. A delayed fluorescence from (TPE-PAn) at 418 nm was observed with an energy upconversion up to 0.64 eV and quantum yield of 0.8 %. A white-light emission was achieved as a result of combination of delayed fluorescence from TPE-PAn and residual fluorescence from rose bengal dye.

Therapeutic hypothermia is well established as a standard treatment for infants with hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy but it is only partially effective. The potential for combination treatments to augment hypothermic neuroprotection has major relevance. Our aim was to assess the effects of treating newborn rats following HI injury with cannabidiol (CBD) at 0.1 or 1 mg/kg, i.p., in normothermic (37.5°C) and hypothermic (32.0°C) conditions, from 7 d of age (neonatal phase) to 37 d of age (juvenile phase). Placebo or CBD was administered at 0.5, 24, and 48 h after HI injury. Two sensorimotor (rotarod and cylinder rearing) and two cognitive (novel object recognition and T-maze) tests were conducted 30 d after HI. The extent of brain damage was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, histologic evaluation, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography, and Western blotting. At 37 d, the HI insult produced impairments in all neurobehavioral scores (cognitive and sensorimotor tests), brain activity (electroencephalography), neuropathological score (temporoparietal cortexes and CA1 layer of hippocampus), lesion volume, magnetic resonance biomarkers of brain injury (metabolic dysfunction, excitotoxicity, neural damage, and mitochondrial impairment), oxidative stress, and inflammation (TNFα). We observed that CBD or hypothermia (to a lesser extent than CBD) alone improved cognitive and motor functions, as well as brain activity. When used together, CBD and hypothermia ameliorated brain excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation, reduced brain infarct volume, lessened the extent of histologic damage, and demonstrated additivity in some parameters. Thus, coadministration of CBD and hypothermia could complement each other in their specific mechanisms to provide neuroprotection.
Effect of Reverberation on Neural Responses to Natural Speech in Rabbit Auditory Midbrain: No Evidence for a Neural Dereverberation Mechanism
Authors: Barzelay Oded , David Stephen , Delgutte Bertrand
Published: April 2023

Reverberation is ubiquitous in everyday acoustic environments. It degrades both binaural cues and the envelope modulations of sounds and thus can impair speech perception. Still, both humans and animals can accurately perceive reverberant stimuli in most everyday settings. Previous neurophysiological and perceptual studies have suggested the existence of neural mechanisms that partially compensate for the effects of reverberation. However, these studies were limited by their use of either highly simplified stimuli or rudimentary reverberation simulations. To further characterize how reverberant stimuli are processed by the auditory system, we recorded single-unit (SU) and multiunit (MU) activity from the inferior colliculus (IC) of unanesthetized rabbits in response to natural speech utterances presented with no reverberation (“dry”) and in various degrees of simulated reverberation (direct-to-reverberant energy ratios (DRRs) ranging from 9.4 to –8.2 dB). Linear stimulus reconstruction techniques (Mesgarani et al., 2009) were used to quantify the amount of speech information available in the responses of neural ensembles. We found that high-quality spectrogram reconstructions could be obtained for dry speech and in moderate reverberation from ensembles of 25 units. However, spectrogram reconstruction quality deteriorated in severe reverberation for both MUs and SUs such that the neural degradation paralleled the degradation in the stimulus spectrogram. Furthermore, spectrograms reconstructed from responses to reverberant stimuli resembled spectrograms of reverberant speech better than spectrograms of dry speech. Overall, the results provide no evidence for a dereverberation mechanism in neural responses from the rabbit IC when studied with linear reconstruction techniques.

SYNGAP1haploinsufficiency in humans causes intellectual disability (ID). SYNGAP1 is highly expressed in cortical excitatory neurons and, reducing its expression in mice accelerates the maturation of excitatory synapses during sensitive developmental periods, restricts the critical period window for plasticity, and impairs cognition. However, its specific role in interneurons remains largely undetermined. In this study, we investigated the effects of conditionalSyngap1disruption in medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-derived interneurons on hippocampal interneuron firing properties and excitatory synaptic inputs, as well as on pyramidal cell synaptic inhibition and synaptic integration. We show that conditionalSyngap1disruption in MGE-derived interneurons results in cell-specific impairment of firing properties of hippocampal Nkx2.1 fast-spiking interneurons, with enhancement of their AMPA receptor (AMPAR)-mediated excitatory synaptic inputs but compromised short-term plasticity. In contrast, regular-spiking Nkx2.1 interneurons are largely unaffected. These changes are associated with impaired pyramidal cell synaptic inhibition and enhanced summation of excitatory responses. Unexpectedly, we found that theSyngap1floxallele used in this study contains inverted loxP sites and that its targeted recombination in MGE-derived interneurons induces some cell loss during embryonic development and the reversible inversion of the sequence flanked by the loxP sites in postmitotic cells. Together, these results suggest thatSyngap1plays a role in cell-specific regulation of hippocampal interneuron function and inhibition of pyramidal cells in mice. However, because of our finding that theSyngap1floxallele used in this study contains inverted loxP sites, it will be important to further investigate interneuron function using a differentSyngap1conditional allele.

Scenes of Destruction and Beauty
Authors: Peterson Jennifer Lynn
Published: April 2023

This essay addresses a surprising convergence of women, cinema, and forest conservation in the 1910s and ’20s. I tell the story of a short nonfiction “woman’s redwood film” produced in 1919 to anchor a larger analysis of women’s shifting roles in the public sphere. Women’s clubs played a prominent role in the early American conservation movement; women were also influential in the silent-era film culture of Humboldt County, California. I show how these two roles came together briefly in the sponsorship of an educational film by the Women’s Save-the-Redwoods League. While the league continued to use nontheatrical film in the 1920s, its women’s auxiliary receded into the background. The marginalization of women in conservation thus bears similarities to the marginalization of women in the film industry as both enterprises became more powerful. Additionally, both cinema and conservation were shaped by the era’s virulent white supremacism, though in different ways.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) is widespread and has become a standard procedure in cardiac surgery [Chitwood 1997; Carpentier 1996]. Therefore, MIMVS is a common procedure for patients with degenerative disease [Raanani 2010; Iribarne 2010] as well. However, the safety of MIMVS in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has not thoroughly been investigated, due to the low prevalence of RHD in developed countries, where MIMVS is standardized [Miceli 2015]. Here, we investigated the safety of MIMVS for patients with RHD at Lampang Hospital in Thailand.

A pesar del creciente número de descubrimientos en la neurociencia, los enormes logros tecnológicos y algún nuevo impulso teórico, aún sigue firme entre los científicos –así como en el sentido común– un contraste claro y marcado entre la mente y el cuerpo. En la actualidad, esta imagen del ser humano, heredada de una cultura platónicocartesiana consolidada, comienza a aparecer en peligro no solo por algunas nuevas perspectivas teóricas, sino también por la propagación de dinámicas socio-culturales originales que se producen principalmente en la esfera de las prácticas diarias, del fitness y de la gestión del tiempo libre. Este ensayo focalizará su atención en el análisis del uso de algunos de los dispositivos tecnológicos más utilizados en el mercado del fitness; reflexionará acerca de la imagen del cuerpo y de las transformaciones de la identidad que tienen lugar en nuestra sociedad, tratando de examinar las últimas posibles aportaciones de la neurociencia a los paradigmas tradicionales de las ciencias sociales.Palabras clave: identidad, tecnología, neurociencia, sociología del conocimiento.Abstract:Despite the large number of discoveries in Neuroscience, great technological achievements and some renewed theories, the idea of a clear and stark contrast between mind and body is still widespread amongst scientists and common people. Nowadays, this interpretation of the human being (a clear legacy of a deeply consolidated Platonic- Cartesian culture) is affected both by the new theoretical perspectives and by the spreading of some socio-cultural dynamics that manifest themselves daily in body and free time management. Inspired by the analysis of one of the most common technological devices for fitness, the aim of this work is to propose some reflections on identity and body image transformations in our society. Moreover, the establishment of a relationship between the latest emerging contributions in Neuroscience and the traditional paradigms of contemporary social sciences will be pursued by the author.Keywords: identity, technology, neuroscience, sociology of knowledge.
Principles and methodology of “Ukrainian spelling”
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Horodenska Kateryna
Published: April 2023

This article addresses the methodology of creating a new, national “Ukrainian Spelling” free from foreign spelling influence. The author substantiates the need to use such methodological principles as scientificity, Ukrainian-centricity, consistency, logic, orien ta tion to the needs of language practice and stability. The essence of each of these prin ciples and the peculiarities of their implementation are clarified, and typical metho do logical violations in the spellings of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods are determined. Based on a comparison of spelling codes of the 20th—21st centuries the author concludes the most complete observance of the specified methodological principles in the “Ukrainian Spelling” of 1928 and the complete disregard of Ukrainian-centricity, scientificity, logic and consistency in the “Ukrainian Spelling” of 1933. The spelling codes of 1990 and 1993 are recognized as the first attempts to return some specific spelling rules, which became possible as a result of the change in the political system in Ukraine and the expansion of the sphere of use of the Ukrainian language. The author notes partial corrections and numerous variant additions to the rules for transferring words of foreign origin in the “Ukrainian Spelling” of 2019, which did not contribute to the restoration of those spelling norms that are part of the Ukrainian orthographic tradition. The author emphasizes that the national basis of Ukrainian orthography should be a complex of principles, the main of which should be phonetic (phonemic), which is determined by the history of the formation of orthographic systems of the Ukrainian language. The paper substantiates the «broad» (and not purely orthographic) format of the Ukrainian spelling code. Keywords: Ukrainian spelling, methodology, basis of spelling, principles of spelling, orthographic norms.
About changes and additions to the spelling of parts of the base of the word
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kotsa Ruslana
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the most important problems of spelling parts of the base of a word, primarily the letter designation of some vowel and consonant sounds, the use of и at the beginning of words before и and р, the alternation of ґ with other consonants during word change and word formation, the spelling of voiced consonants in the position before a voiceless consonant, etc. We compared the content of these norms with the norms of “Ukrainian Spelling” of 1993 and with some of its previous editions. Linguists have repeatedly called for the replacement of some phonetic norms codified in various editions of “Ukrainian Spelling”. They were reviewed for the first time in “Ukrainian Spelling. Projects of the latest edition” 1999. But this spelling was not adopted. New rules and additions to some of the previous rules proposed in “Ukrainian Spelling” 2019 are definitely needed. However, taking into account the historically formed peculiarities of the Ukrainian language and modern trends in language practice, we suggest making changes that will contribute to the further normalization of the spelling of parts of the base of the word. In particular: 1) introduce the norm of using the letter и at the beginning of specific Ukrainian and some long-borrowed words before и and p; 2) submit rules on the transmission of voiced and unvoiced consonant sounds in writing; 3) to introduce the norm of alternating [ґ] — [ж] during word formation; 4) submit in various sections of spelling the rules on the alternation of consonants before the suffix -ськ-(ий) in adjectives formed from common names and from proper geographical names, which will contribute to the elimination of repetitions; 5) clarify the rules on the use of в / в- at the beginning of words and sentences before the next consonant. Keywords: spelling of the parts of the base of the word, spelling norm, sounds, letter designations, alternation of consonants, alternation of vowels.

PurposeThis study aims to identify the meaning of Wordsworth’s poem entitled I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by analyzing its intrinsic elements. MethodThe present study is qualitative interpretive, focusing on the meaning conveyed in the poem entitled I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud using objective approach by interpreting the poem’s intrinsic elements through repeated reading of the poem as a whole and its details to achieve trustworthy analysis and conclusion. Results/findingsDifferent from general trend in the analysis Wordsworth’s I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, the meaning of the poem is the experience of recalling the sight of the daffodils, which brought solitude to the speaker of the poem. The poem’s subject was not the daffodils, but the experience of encountering them and its recollection. As a traveler traveling in the countryside, the speaker viewed the sight of the daffodils in a positive tone through imageries of sight, internal sensation, and muscle movements related to good experiences, as well as dictions of natural views with positive connotations. The poem includes simile, personification, metonymy, and symbols to compare the beautiful crowd of daffodils and the solitude they bring to the speaker of the poem’s mind when he was recalling the sight of the dancing daffodils. ConclusionUsing Abram’s objective point of view, the analysis reveals the daffodils as representative of nature become the remedy for human’s loneliness as represented by the speaker of the poem by recalling the experience of seeing them, sending the message that appreciation of nature and the experience with nature should be maintained to create a tranquil life.

Sejarah Pemikiran Dakwah Islam Isa Anshary Tahun 1940-1969
Authors: Adam Yusril Fahmi
Published: April 2023

This article aims to reconstruct the history of Isa Anshary's Islamic da'wah thought which is still not widely found in Islamic historiography in Indonesia. This study uses an intellectual history approach (intellectual history) and historical actor theory. The method used in this study is the historical method through four stages, namely data collection or sources (heuristics), source criticism, interpretation and historiography. Based on the historical approach, theory, and method used, this research is not only descriptive-narrative, but also analytical-descriptive by elaborating the sources obtained. The results of this study indicate that Isa Anshary was a scholar who throughout his life struggled for the da'wah of Islam. Isa Anshary's Islamic da'wah thought is complex and integral to aspects of human life. That is, the arena of da'wah is not limited to just inviting ritual worship, but must enter other aspects such as education, economics, and even politics. Isa Anshary's Islamic da'wah can be analyzed through his da'wah activities when he was the general chairman of the Islamic Union (Persis) and the Masyumi Party. In Persis and Masyumi, the Islamic da'wah delivered by Isa Anshary is not just a word that is conveyed, but is implemented with action, so that the thoughts and attitude of the da'wah shown by Isa Anshary have a great influence on Muslims for socio-religious and political in post-independence Indonesia.Keywords: Da'wah, Isa Anshary, Islam.
The influence of foreign ownership on tax avoidance in Thailand: A study from an emerging economy
Authors:   Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai, Thailand, Syukur Muhammad , Jongsureyapart Chatrudee ,   Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai, Thailand
Published: April 2023

Tax avoidance is an effort to avoid paying more taxes lawfully, but it results in a tax revenue loss for the government. Even though the nominal avoided tax is enormous in advanced economies, the impact of tax avoidance is more severe in emerging economies. Thailand is a developing country whose government has been actively putting action to tackle aggressive tax avoidance. Like other similar economies, Thailand invites more foreign investors to invest in its local businesses. However, literature has said that ownership level can influence tax avoidance, and ownership by foreign shareholders in emerging countries can increase tax avoidance. Thus, examining whether foreign ownership increases tax avoidance in a developing country is crucial and interesting. By owning shares in the company, foreign investors have the power to influence the firm’s decision-making process, including the decision for tax avoidance. This paper is the pioneer in discussing foreign ownership and tax avoidance in a Thai setting in its 100 most profitable companies. The observation is based on the five-year observations during 2015–2019. We measured tax avoidance using effective tax rate (ETR) and cash-flow ETR and manually collected foreign ownership data from the 500 annual reports. The statistical test verified that foreign ownership has a positive relationship with tax avoidance, which means that greater foreign ownership leads to a greater level of tax avoidance. This study recommends policymakers monitor the level of foreign ownership/control to limit aggressive tax avoidance that could be practised in the country.

Calculations of net present value for a small modular fusion power plant
Authors: Webbe-Wood David , Nuttall William J.
Published: April 2023

If, as suggested by proponents, fusion small modular reactors (SMRs) can be developed faster than envisaged by the multi-national ITER/DEMO programme, the question remains as to whether such reactors will be a viable commercial proposition. Such viability will depend on a range of factors, including capital costs, income from the sale of electricity and the cost of capital. To investigate these effects, net present values (NPVs) were calculated for a range of scenarios for both first of a kind and Nth of a kind plants supplying electricity to the UK grid beginning in 2040. Calculations have also been carried out to delineate the ‘space’ in which positive NPVs would be obtained. These calculations show that there are combinations of capital costs, electricity prices and costs of capital in which a fusion SMR plant would be financially viable. These calculations, being based on uncertain costs and incomes, are necessarily uncertain. The calculations show that minimisation of capital costs must be a key goal for those seeking to develop a fusion SMR as a commercial proposition.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! AN ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR REQUIRING ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION TO BE PROVIDED CLOSE TO THE EVICTION SITE
Authors: Fick Sarah
Published: April 2023

This article explores the notion of “location” in respect of the State’s housing duty, especially in respect of emergency housing. Throughout, the term “location orders” are used to describe orders in which the State is required to provide emergency housing at or near a specific location. It is important to determine the legal justification for such orders, to ensure legal certainty. To answer this question, this article first sets out the facts of the most recent case in which such an order was made (Commando v Woodstock Hub (Pty) Ltd. Secondly, it considers the legal framework applicable to the question. Thirdly, the paper considers the history of location orders in our Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence and how they came about. Thereafter, it explores the court’s justifications for such orders. It considers under what circumstances courts are likely to grant such orders. This is applied to the Commando decision, to determine whether the decision was in line with the current approach. Final remarks are provided in the conclusion.

Authors: Villarreal Florián Samuel , Bejarano Auqui Jesús Fernando
Published: April 2023

El presente estudio genera un modelo de gestión organizacional que analiza las capacidades del capital humano para lograr una calidad de servicio de carácter intangible que enmarca la funcionalidad y perspectivas que tienen los clientes para exigir su derecho de recibir los mejores servicios y satisfacción de sus necesidades. El objetivo de la investigación es proponer un modelo de gestión organizacional para mejorar la práctica de la calidad de servicio tras el COVID-19 en la Asociación Educativa Adventista Peruana del Sur. El tipo de estudio fue descriptivo y cuantitativo. La muestra fue no probabilístico estratificado conformado por 235 clientes. Para medir la calidad del servicio, se empleó el modelo SERQUAL. Esto nos permite concluir que los clientes están satisfechos con la confiabilidad, sensibilidad, seguridad, empatía y elementos tangibles (percepción promedio del 72%) que la institución educativa brinda a sus clientes. Finalmente, los resultados resaltados ayudarán a la dirección de la organización a considerar que la calidad del servicio es una obligación de brindar a sus clientes sobre la base de una nueva gestión de la organización más competitiva.

Objectives

Métis people experience health inequities and often face discrimination when accessing health services. Métis-specific services are limited, and pan-Indigenous approaches to health services fail to acknowledge heterogenous identities and distinct health needs of the Métis. This study explored a Métis response to HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood borne infections to inform public health services development for Métis people.

Methods

As part of the DRUM & SASH Project, this study used a community-based research approach which privileged Métis knowledges and processes. Three gathering circles were held in Alberta, Canada, with self-identified Métis individuals who had lived experience or intimate knowledge of HIV/hepatitis C or worked in HIV/HCV service provision. The gathering circle process integrated Métis cultural practices in discussions about Métis understandings of health. Gathering circles transcripts were used to inform the description of the model emerging through the dialogue.

Results

Twelve diverse Métis people participated in gathering circles. Participants identified 12 determinants of health and well-being grounded in Métis culture and imagery, including Métis medicine bag, fiddle, cart tarp, flag, Capote coat, sash, York boat, moccasins, grub box, weapons, tools, and stove. The Red River Cart Model, a Métis-specific model of health to guide service planning, was created from these discussions.

Conclusion

The Red River Cart Model provides a holistic view of the determinants of Métis health and has potential as a collaborative client assessment resource for STBBI community health service providers. Additionally, this model may be helpful to other health service providers for developing Métis-specific/informed services and improving cultural safety for the Métis.

Published: April 2023

Con la hipótesis de que el ruido puede ser nocivo no solamente para el órgano de la audición sino también para el de la fonación, procedimos a estudiar un grupo de 50 trabajadores de un supermercado localizado en un área con alta exposición ambiental al ruido (Cooperativa Cafetera) debido a su cercanía al antiguo aeropuerto de la ciudad de Medellín; el otro grupo, compuesto también por 50 Individuos, fue estudiado en el supermercado de Almacenes éxito de El Poblado que tiene baja exposición. Los participantes fueron escogidos al azar de listas de nómina. Se midió Intensidad total de ruido mediante dosimetrías y análisis de frecuencia en diferentes lugares de ambos sitios, durante varias horas del día, todos los días de una semana. En el supermercado expuesto se encontraron Intervalos de ruido de 98 a 105 decibeles (dB)y las frecuencias acumuladas fueron superiores a 77 dB; en cambio, para el no expuesto estas cifras fueron 49 a 56, y 70 dB, respectivamente (P
Gota en el anciano

Published: April 2023

Los libros de texto y la literatura reumatológica en general, hacen hincapié en la presentación clínica clásica del paciente con gota y en su tratamiento médico. Con frecuencia, sin embargo, la presentación no es típica en el anciano y el diagnóstico pasa desapercibido o se establece en forma errónea.En las mujeres mayores de 60 años la presentación de la gota puede ser pollarticular, de Iniciación lenta, no aguda, y con compromiso de articulaciones pequeñas de las manos, dando lugar a confusión con una posible artritis reumatoidea o con la exacerbación de un proceso degenerativo. El examen cuidadoso del líquido sinovial y la identificación de los cristales de urato monosódico son primordiales para el diagnóstico. Es preciso conocer las interacciones farmacodinámicas de las medicaciones antinflamatorias e hipouricemlantes con otras que el paciente pueda estar tomando para procesos asociados. El médico debe abstenerse de tratar la hiperuricemia asintomática. Una vez confirmado el diagnóstico de gota debe trazarse un plan de tratamiento y seguimiento. Las reacciones severas a los antinflamatorios no esteroideos, a la colchicina y al alopurinol son más frecuentes en el anciano.

Con el fin de lograr una cobertura total de la población objeto se capacitaron 583 funcionarios del Gobierno Departamental y voluntarios de la comunidad, quienes a su vez se convirtieron en multiplicadores de esa capacitación en sus lugares de trabajo. Además se solucionaron los problemas de refracción dotando de anteojos a los niños que los necesitaran.
Intoxicación plúmbica por heridad de bala en una articulación. Presentación de un caso y revisión del tema
Authors: Botero Carlos A. , Villa Alvaro , Benavides Carlos
Published: April 2023

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 32 años con antecedente de herida por bala en la articulación coxofemoral derecha, 6 años antes, sin exposición laboral al plomo, quien presentó un cuadro clásico de saturnismo y niveles de plumbemia de 99 µg/dl; después de la extracción de la bala hubo mejoría clínica y de laboratorio, incluyendo disminución de dichos niveles. Se revisa y discute la escasa literatura existente al respecto haciendo énfasis en la importancia de un seguimiento periódico, con determinaciones de plomo en sangre a todo paciente con heridas por bala cuando el proyectil queda retenido en una articulación.

Published: April 2023

Se estudiaron 57 pacientes con meningitis aguda, de etiología bacteriana comprobada; 47.4% (27 casos) fueron causados por Haemophilus influenzae tipo b; 21.0% (12 casos) por Streptococcus pneumoniae; 17.5% (10 casos) por Neisseria meningitidis; 5.3% (3 casos) por Staphylococcus aureus. 5.3% (3 casos) por enterobacterias y 3.5% (2 casos) por gérmenes no Identificados por cultivos. Se comparó la aglutinación de partículas de látex (APL) con la contrainmunoelectroforesis (CIE) en los pacientes con cultivo positivo. La exactitud de ambas fue similar para el H. influenzae tipo b y el S. pneumoniae. Tres de los 10 casos con cultivo positivo para N. meningítidis fueron positivos en la APL pero ninguno lo fue en la CIE. Se presentó un falso positivo para H. ínfluenzae con la APL que correspondió a meningitis por Salmonella typhí, Las pruebas inmunológicas estuvieron plenamente justificadas en 12 de los 57 pacientes (21.0%), previamente tratados, en quienes la bacteriología tradicional fue negativa o se quería identificar el germen porque lo único positivo era el gram y se justificaba utilizar el antibiótico más específico. Se sugiere el uso de la APL en el Hospital Infantil de Medellín, por ser una prueba confiable y más simple y rápida que la CIE.
