The determination of the estrous cycle in animals is important for studies of neuroendocrine function. The objective was to provide the researchers with the morphological characteristics of each phase of the estrous cycle in rats in. Proestrus is characterized by the predominance of a large number of round nucleated globular cells; in the estrus has identification of anucleated and conified epithelial cells; the next phase metaestrus has an equivalent proportion of nucleated and anucleated epithelial cells.

A paralisia cerebral (PC) refere-se a uma alteração não progressiva do sistema nervoso central, gerando déficits motores e comprometimentos funcionais. O acometimento do membro superior restringe a participação ativa da criança com PC em atividades de vida diária causando uma dependência com o grupo familiar. Avaliações compõem o arcabouço dos profissionais de saúde para traçar tratamentos e acompanhar a evolução do paciente.

Background: The adverse effects of anteroposterior and vertical changesafter mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) may compromise the indication of this treatment for dolicofacial and Class II patients. The aim of this study was to use cone beam computed tomography to evaluate the anteroposterior and vertical dentoskeletal alterations that occurred after palatal expansion with MARPE in patients in the final stages of midpalatal suture maturation.

Rural livelihood which is predominant in sub-Saharan Africa where most people live their entire lives has over the years proved to be stressful for many rural folks as they battle for their daily survival. Rural homes regulate their undertakings either to feat novel prospects produced via the liberalization of market or manage livelihood risks.
