“…Nuclear medicine is a highly multi-disciplinary specialty that develops and uses instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals to study physiological processes and non-invasively diagnose, treat and identifying the staging of a disease (Hricak, 2007). The radiopharmaceuticals are molecular and cellular structures labeled with a specific radionuclide and are applied to patients after appropriate quality control (Bernardo-Filho et al, 2008). A radiopharmaceutical is usually made up of two components: a basic substance for localization in a desired tissue or organ, and a radionuclide for tagging to the basic substance to emit the gamma rays that can be detected and imaged with a gamma camera.…”

“…Sexuality and its expression contribute to some of the most important aspects of human behavior and is a powerful, complex bio-psycho-social process (Bernardo-Filho et al 2008). Basic studies related to embryology and sexual differentiation of the genital tract are essential to understand several diseases that affect mammals, mainly anomalies and malformations related to intersexuality (Domenice et al 2002;Gaucher et al 2004;Blaschko et al 2012;Tannour-Louet et al 2014).Complete descriptions of genomes of many species are emerging, which describe each gene encoding different proteins (Gaucher et al 2004).…”
