30 anos da biosusceptometria de corrente alternada (BAC): produção acadêmica e científica

Abstract

The first proposal for study on the human gastrointestinal tract using the biomagnetic equipment AC BIOSUSCEPTOMETRY was published in 1992. We aimed to investigate the academic and scientific output associated with ACB and assess its evolution using scientometric methods. In order to achieve this, academic and scientific output from the Acacia platform and the Bibliometrix package, as well as bibliographic surveys and curriculum analysis on the Lattes platform. A total of 45 articles were discovered, 40 of which had international circulation and were published between 1992 and 2023, sustaining a rate of 1.5 articles annually. These publications garnered 1,103 citations, with a median of 16.5 and a range of 0 to 92. Over 50 citations were made to seven works that were emphasized during this time. The establishment of research groups may be confirmed because the recognized authors are primarily affiliated with public universities like UNESP, USP, UFMT, UFG, and Uncisal. Numerous ACB validation studies were also confirmed in reference to other procedures in addition to the scientomist data, indicating the experimental adaptability of this method. Recently, investigations in nanomedicine have been made possible by the combination of magnetic nanoparticles with enhanced sensors, opening the door to the possibility of creating images using a pathophysiological, metabolic, or immunological approach. using cutting-edge physical techniques and connecting BAC with other tools like magnetic hyperthermia.
