The case of a neonate in Regional Hospital Suddie of Guyana with neck tumor, was presented and diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma, rare malformation and whose diagnosis is made early in pregnancy by prenatal ultrasound evaluation of the region of the neck of the fetus. Excessive expansion or increased translucency in the hindhead may be related to a cystic lymphangioma. Congenital malformations are structural defects present at birth caused by a prenatal disorder during morphogenesis. Prenatal ultrasound performed in the first and second trimester of pregnancy by trained personnel is an average economic diagnosis and non-invasive allowing early diagnosis and taking behavior early in resource-poor countries.

A case was presented in the Department of Urology of "Guido Valadares" National Hospital in East Timor, diagnosed with complete retention of urine, post renal, obstructive and acute renal failure, bilateral hydronephrosis and urethral stricture and hypospadias, in order to demonstrate the use of prepucial mucosa for hypospadias that concomitan with urethral stricture. The surgical treatment consisted urethroplasty with preputial mucosa. Total reconstruction of the affected urethra was done with good aesthetic and functional outcomes. The use of oral mucosa was very useful in patient management.

A case at the "Ramón Guevara Montano" Stomatology Clinic in Baracoa, Guantánamo province, with diagnosis of hyperplastic pulpitis at the second upper right premolar (tooth 15) was presented.

Biopulpectomywas performed and the patient progress was satisfactory being respected the basic principles of endodontics: diagnosis, biomechanical instrumentation and closed of the canal or root in length and width.

Introduction: The World Health Organization, through the active aging document, presented a political framework, which offered a new paradigm in the promotion of a satisfactory aging in the key of life. Aging and development must be understood as simultaneous and permanent processes throughout life. Objective: to offer an emerging epistemological conception of gender equity that contributes to dismantling the androcentric vision since the aging of women in the Cuban revolutionary context. Method: a critical theoretical study of androcentrism was carried out, since the aging of women, an emergent epistemological conception of gender equity was constructed that allowed us to focus on new points of view. Results: studies with a gender approach allow us to explain the origin and the forms that androcentrism adopts especially; they have contributed to the criticism of relativism that places this type of practices in terms of cultural variability, allowing to justify discrimination. Conclusions: The studies of aging are not carried out with a gender perspective, this situation makes women invisible, fundamentally in their aging and their lives mark the effects of the social androcentric vision.
