Optimal clinical examination in conjunction with radiography and histopathology is a necessity in order to discover malignant lesions in time. Routine dental check-ups must comprise more thorough soft-tissue examination.

The inclusion of women in technology has increased in recent years, but the number of women in technology is still much smaller compared to male involvement. Many factors make women not part of the information technology field. These factors include cultural, social factors of lack of information about the area. Thus, this paper aims to understand some of the factors that lead women to look less for professional areas involving science and technology. This article presents the state of the art of science and technology projects that have been aimed at women around the world. In addition, a questionnaire was applied in order to present some of the factors that can affect the performance of girls in projects in the field of Exact Sciences. Among the variables studied, the one that had the greatest correlation with the worst performances achieved by the girls was the absence of technology and internet at home. Furthermore, a quali-quantitative analysis shows the importance of carrying out projects that involve women in science and technology.

Background: This study was designed to describe bone turnover marker (BTM) profiles in women. Patients and methods: In all, 197 patients (age 61 [36-90] years) comprising five groups were studied: osteoporosis with (OPBP+) or without (OPBP-) bisphosphonate use; bone metastatic breast cancer with (BMBP+) or without (BMBP-) BP use; and healthy controls without BP (CBP-) use. Procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) were analyzed. Results: The medians [25%-75%; ng/mL] for P1NP were as follows: BMBP- (236.95 [165.0-328.0]) > CBP- (47.25 [33.5-63.7]) = OPBP- (50.9 [37.4-63.9]) > BMBP+(26.9 [11.8-46.3]) = OPBP+ (19.5 [12.6-27.3]). The medians [25% -75%; ng/mL] for CTX were as follows: BMBP- (0.567 [0.457-0.803]) = OPBP- (0.360 [0.318-0.650]) > CBP- (0.297 [0.203-0.402]) > BMBP+(0.101 [0.052-0.202]) = OPBP+(0.141 [0.047-0.186]). Conclusion: P1NP > 145 ng/mL completely differentiated those with BMs. CTX < 0.200 ng/mL differentiated those using BPs.
