The Subject

O estudo do Planejamento familiar, no contexto da bioética, abre-se para diversas perspectivas, entre elas a valorização dos seus diferentes atores. Situado neste contexto o artigo tem como objetivo identificar o perfil de gênero na produção científica sobre Planejamento Familiar no Brasil, entre 2000 e 2014, assim como a área de formação e especialização dos autores. Foram utilizadas metodologias que permitiram mapear o estado da arte do tema estudado, a partir de uma revisão da literatura. O resultado da pesquisa identifica que a produção científica sobre Planejamento Familiar no Brasil se compõe de perfil destacadamente feminino (71,76%). Dos 73 artigos analisados, 42 (57,53%) o foco do tema está direcionado à mulher assim como evidencia-se a área de ciências da saúde com maior concentração das publicações do tema.  Este aspecto da pesquisa abre para uma realidade complexa onde se buscam criticamente as razões para a pesquisa em Planejamento Familiar ter ênfase na mulher e ser um tema de relevância nas ciências da saúde.Palavras-chave: Produção científica, Planejamento Familiar, Gênero.  ABSTRACT: The study of Family Planning, in the context of bioethics, opens to diverse perspectives, among them the appreciation of their different agents. Situated in this context the article aims to identify the profile of gender in scientific literature on Family Planning in Brazil, between 2000 and 2014, as well as the area of training and specialization of the authors. Methodologies were used which allowed to map the State of the art of the subject studied, from a review of the literature. The results found identify that the scientific production on Family Planning in Brazil is formed with a outstandingly female profile (71,76%). Of the 73 articles examined, 42 (57.53%) the focus of the topic is directed to women as well as showing the health sciences area with highest concentration of publications. This aspect of the research opens to a complex reality where we seek critically the reasons for Research in Family Planning have emphasis on woman and be a topic of relevance in health sciences.Keywords: Scientific Production, Family Planning, Gender.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the state of the art in anthropometric measuring devices used for mass screening. In addition, technologies which could be used for automated mass screening are identified and described. A review of the literature identified only two operational anthropometric measurement devices currently used for mass screening. A variety of potentially applicable measurement techniques including acoustic, light, electro-magnetic, potentiometric/electro-optical (including digitizing arms) technologies were identified and described. Data describing the capabilities and limitations of these systems are also provided.

Abstract A review of the literature and the state-of-the-art in research and development of miniature heat exchangers is presented in this paper. The authors provide a discussion of what makes the micro- and meso-scales important, highlight the design constraints and challenges that surface when miniaturizing a heat exchanger, and outline and discuss the outstanding practical and scientific issues in this area. Finally, the most recent advances in manufacturing processes and application of these miniature heat exchangers are covered in this article.

Objective: To determine incidence of internal mammary nodes (IMN) at baseline CT of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and ascertain prognostic implication. Methods and materials: Retrospective review of all LABC patients from 1 January 2012 through 31 December 2014 was performed after approval from institutional review board. CTs of 182 patients enrolled were reviewed by two radiologists independently, and IMNs were documented based on size, location and relation with location of breast primary. 3-year follow-up was analysed and incidence of metastases was calculated as overall incidence, incidence in patients with and without discernible IMN at baseline imaging. Results are presented as numbers and percentages. Differences in metastases of two groups were compared using χ2 test. 95% CI was calculated and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: 77 of 182 had identifiable IMN (42.3% incidence). Majority of identifiable nodes were on ipsilateral side of primary (incidence 90.90%) with higher incidence in patients with upper-outer quadrant tumours (55.9%). Majority were seen in second intercostal space (44.4%). 36 (19.7%) developed distant metastases within 3 years of therapy. Of these, 21 (27.3%) had IMN as compared with 15 (14.3 %) without IMN on baseline imaging. Patients with identifiable IMN on baseline CT had significantly higher incidence of distant metastases (p = 0.0321). Conclusion: Significant number LABC patients have identifiable IMN on baseline imaging with patients showing IMN on baseline CT showing significantly higher rate of metastatic disease following therapy. Advances in knowledge: Many LABC patients have identifiable IMNs on baseline imaging which show higher incidence of subsequent metastatic disease.
