Empathizing and systemizing profiles of Brazilian and Portuguese nursing undergraduates.

Aim: To analyze the empathizing and systemizing profiles of Brazilian and Portuguese nursing undergraduates.

Background: Empathy is a fundamental skill for nursing practice and should be analyzed during the student's education.

Methods: Descriptive study with cross-sectional design.

Premaxilla: up to which age it remains separated from the maxilla by a suture, how often it occurs in children and adults, and possible clinical and therapeutic implications: Study of 1,138 human skulls.

Methods: 1,138 human dry skulls were evaluated, of which 116 (10.19%) of the specimens were children, and 1,022 (89.

Semantic validation of the short versions of the Empathy-Systemizing Quotient Scales.

The scales originated in Cambridge and were validated in Portugal, and were assessed for their psychometric properties.

Method: methodological study included the scales' semantic validation (content validity) and verification of their psychometric properties (internal consistency).
