Preimplantation mouse blastocysts were dissected into inner cell mass (ICM) and trophoblast cells. These fragments were transferred to pseudo-pregnant mice which were left intact or ovariectomized. The latter group received progesterone to permit blastocysts and the dissected fragments to enter into quiescence, prior to injection of oestradiol to induce implantation. Trophoblastic vesicles, wit...

 Monitoring behavior of children in the home is the extremely important to avoid the possible injuries. Therefore, an automated monitoring system for monitoring behavior of children by researchers has been considered. The first step for designing and executing an automated monitoring system on children's behavior in closed spaces is possible with recognize their activity by the sensors in the e...

American cutaneous leishmaniasis has been reported in all Brazilian states and in the Paraná this disease is endemic. The objective of this work was to detect natural infections in phlebotomines to verify the vector competence of these insects and the identification of the parasite species. Phlebotomines were collected using Falcão and Shannon traps, in the municipalities of Doutor Camargo, Fên...
