El estudio es de enfoque cualitativo, parte de un diseño fenomenológico y utilizael método de historia de experiencias. Se realizaron entrevistas a doce veteranos y excombatientes de la guerra salvadoreña. A partir de los hallazgos, se elaboró un modelo psicosocial que brinda los fundamentos para generar oportunidades de reconciliación y reparar el tejido social.

Two groups of oxen were immunized with a bothropic toxoid and challenged by an intramuscular injection of either 10 or 50 mg B. asper venom, to induce moderate or severe envenomations, respectively. Non-immunized oxen were used as controls. It was found that immunized oxen developed local edema similar to those observed in non-immunized animals. However, systemic effects were totally prevented in immunized oxen challenged with 10 mg venom, and therefore antivenom treatment was not required. When immunized oxen were challenged with 50 mg venom, coagulopathy was manifested 3-16 h later than in non-immunized oxen, demonstrating a delay in the onset of systemic envenomation. In these animals, active immunization did not eliminate the need for antivenom treatment, but increased the time lapse in which antivenom administration is still effective. All experiment...
