Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSC) correspond to a small population of cells tumor with the ability to remain hidden. This contributes strongly to the resistance to antitumor therapies, the occurrence of relapse and metastasis. Objective: Inter relate the gene interactions networks of tumor dormancy (TD) and CSC. Methods: Genetic interaction networks of CSC and DT were identified in the Gene Cards® database. The maps of genomic interactions were performed using the software STRING 10.0.

This paper aims to characterize the entrepreneurial profile of students from the first to the tenth semester of the pharmacy course of a private HEI, in Vitória da Conquista. To this end, it sought to identify if the student has entrepreneurial behavioral characteristics (CCE's) that favor the entrepreneurial profile. The results show that students have the ten CCE's, and the opportunity-seeking feature obtained the highest score among students, but the other characteristics need to be improved during the pharmacy course.

Objective: To analyze scientific evidence found in literature about the role of nursing in Mental Health in the Primary Care. Methods: This article is an integrative literature review. To survey articles in the literature, the databases LILACS, SCIELO and BDENF were used. Were found 53 studies, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria. Results: From the analysis of scientific productions, it was possible to verify that most nurses feel unprepared to work in the area of mental health in primary care, or even those who said they feel prepared, few were able to detail this knowledge.

Objectives: To identify in scientific productions, which are the main challenges that network professionals face regarding the referral and counter-referral process. Methodology: This study is an integrative literature review, conducted in the first half of 2018, at the Virtual Health Library (VHL), based on the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Data Base on the Nursing (BDENF), and MEDLINE (Online Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System). After considering inclusion and exclusion, they were used and analyzed through a synoptic table.

In this study, videotapes of play interactions were coded for the behaviors of 4- to 6-year-old nonverbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)(i.e., looking at the adult, initiating, imitating, and being playful) and their mothers’ and an imitative examiner’s behaviors (i.e. demonstrating, directing, imitating and being playful).ANOVAs revealed that the mothers spent more time demonstrating and directing versus the experimenter who spent more time being playful and imitating the child. The children spent more time looking at their mothers and more time imitating the experimenter.
