RESUMEN
This research was designed to develop, implement, and evaluate an assessment and intervention protocol to increase problem-solving teams' (PSTs) adoption and implementation of evidence-based practices aimed at students with disruptive behavior problems. Participants included 15 PSTs. Adopting single-case design methodology, we examined whether a customized set of assessment and intervention consultant-led intervention procedures could be used to improve the activities, process, and recommendations of PSTs compared to a web-based intervention. We were interested in evaluating two variations of the problem-solving model based on the team initiated problem-solving (TIPS) approach. TIPS includes steps to successful problem solving and solution implementation for student academic and behavioral concerns. Based on visual analysis and statistical randomization tests, we found that a teleconsultation web-based model of PST intervention was not effective in improving the functioning of the PST. In contrast, a customized, consultation-led intervention model with PST facilitators that followed this approach was found to be effective in improving both the foundation and thoroughness of the PST's problem solving. Implications of future PST improvement models for practice and research are discussed.

Chicken pox is the most frequent exantematic illness; usually its course is self-limited and benign. Several bacterial complications are described due to the disruption of the skin as a defensive barrier because of the characteristics of the injuries and the associated inmunodepression. Psoas abscess is a rare illness and it's difficult to diagnose, with a general unspecified clinical presentation. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl, on her fifth day of chicken pox, who consults about a febrile convulsion, from which she recovers without any neurological symptoms, referring to functional impotence of her inferior left limb and pain in the lumbar and gluteal zone, which irradiates to the homolateral hip, making deambulation impossible. The definitive diagnosis was made with a CAT at hospital admission. The germ isolated was community-acquired methricillin-resistant Staphilococcus aureus. Treatment consisted in surgical drainage and endovenous antibiotics.

La varicela es la enfermedad exantemática más frecuente, sucurso suele ser autolimitado y benigno. Están descriptas variadascomplicaciones bacterianas debido a la disrupción de la piel como barrera defensiva por las características de suslesiones y a la inmunodepresión asociada.El absceso de psoas es una enfermedad poco frecuente y de difícil diagnóstico, con un cuadro clínico generalmente inespecífico.Presentamos el caso de una niña de 5 años, que, cursando el 5º día de varicela, consulta por convulsión febril de la cual se recupera sin síntomas neurológicos. Presenta impotencia funcional de miembro inferior izquierdo y dolor en región lumbar y glútea, que irradia a la cadera de dicho miembro con imposibilidad de deambular.El diagnóstico definitivo se realizó con tomografía axial computada (TAC) el día de ingreso.El germen aislado fue Staphylococcus meticilino-resistente (SAMR) de la comunidad.El tratamiento consistió en el drenaje quirúrgico y antibióticos endovenosos.
