O látex é uma borracha natural obtida da árvore Hevea brasiliensis da região norte brasileira. Este material possui diversas aplicações na indústria, por sua propriedade viscoelástica e potencialidades de aplicação na área têxtil, automotiva, médica, entre outras. Perante tal fato, o presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar as publicações científicas realizadas, nos últimos cinco anos, sobre as potencialidades do látex como biomaterial na área médica. Os trabalhos científicos selecionados foram obtidos nas bases de dados: Elsevier (CrossRef), Medline/Pubmed (NLM), Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Scopus (Elsevier), SCIELO, LILACS, Google acadêmico, Clinicaltrials.gov, Science Direct e na plataforma Periódicos CAPES. Acessados o portal Periódicos CAPES, utilizou-se as palavras-chaves “biomaterial”, “biomedical engineering”, “health”, “medicine” e “latex”, e com período de busca de 2014-2018, para artigos revisados por pares. Como resultado desta pesquisa bibliográfica, verificou-se que o látex tem sido utilizado, principalmente, em regeneração óssea com 21,52% das publicações obtidas. 14,91% apresentaram estudos na área de estética e 14,69% na área de oftalmológica, entre outras aplicações. Observou-se que as perspectivas futuras para o uso de látex têm crescido significativamente nos últimos cinco anos, gerando benefícios à sociedade pela sua ação terapêutica e pela geração de empregos na sua obtenção.

Nicaragua is a small country in Central America and little has been published about its scientific output. Most of its publications available in international databases are about medicine and are produced by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (Managua) as part of international collaborative teams. In this article we analyzed in more depth, and for a longer period than any previous study, the presence of Nicaraguan publications in the Science Citation Index Expanded until January, 2016. In total, 837 Nicaraguan articles were published in 456 journals (the top journal is the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene). Internationally collaborative articles with 94 countries accounted for 92 % of articles, while only 8.5 % were exclusively Nicaraguan. The most cited article described the use of ketoconazole to treat Leishmaniasis. The authors with more publications in the database were A. Balmaseda, R. Peña, W. Strauch, and F. Bucardo. The top cited, exclusively Nicaraguan articles dealt with health problems, forest tenure, and food production. The article citation lifespan is surprisingly long: over 70 years. Most citations start seven years after publication and are not recorded by the Science Citation Index, which for that reason cannot be considered valid to evaluate the impact of Nicaraguan research. The predominance of English publications may reflect a bias of the database itself. Probably most of the scientific production of Nicaraguan scientists is published in Spanish, in many regional journals not included in the SCI-EXPANDED. Nicaraguan research centers lack appropriate infrastructure, staffing and financial resources: future achievements for Nicaraguan science should include a fair presence of female researchers, peer-to-peer level participation in international teams, and less dominance of health technologies.
