A produção científica na área de Ensino de Ciências vem aumentando ao longo do tempo, além disso os periódicos estão se fortalecendo e funcionam como elementos na consolidação desse campo. Nesse sentido, nossa pesquisa surge do seguinte questionamento: o que a análise dos indicadores métricos pode nos dizer sobre os artigos, publicados pela Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (RBPEC) entre os anos de 2001 e 2020, que destacam o ‘Ensino de Ciências’ em seus conteúdos? A metodologia desse estudo se baseou em princípios da Bibliometria e Cienciometria para analisar os seguintes indicadores: aspectos gerais, autoria-produção, conteúdo e referências. Tais aspectos nos permitiram levantar alguns indícios sobre a produção relacionada ao Ensino de Ciências na RBPEC, identificar temas mais frequentes, perfil acadêmico dos pesquisadores e literatura mais referenciada garantindo uma cartografia métrica que oferece subsídios para autores e editores a fim de propiciar uma melhor caracterização da nossa área.

Introduction: Approximately 15% of diabetic individuals are affected with foot ulceration, one of the main causes of lower limb amputation. The percentage of diabetic survival after amputation of a lower limb (MI) is 50% three years after the surgical procedure and the mortality rate varies between 39% to 68% after five years. The impact on the quality of life of diabetic people is high, not only economically, the feelings involved contribute to a negative prognosis. Therefore, adequate metabolic and nutritional control, as well as periodic assessment of immunity and comorbidities, should be part of the therapeutic routine of diabetic patients. Experience report: The work in question refers to the nutritional approach performed on a 71-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with an ulcer in the right plantar region. In anthropometry, the nutritional status indicators indicated eutrophy with nutritional risk. The biochemical evaluation identified anemic condition and sepsis. Physical evaluation showed the presence of edema in the right and left MI. Glycemic and blood pressure levels were monitored daily. A hypercaloric and hyperprotein diet was prescribed, plus protein supplementation with specific immunomodulators for special metabolic situations that prevent energy-protein malnutrition, in addition to the adequacy of vitamins and minerals, in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies arising from the drug-nutrient interaction. Nutritional monitoring lasted 13 days. Ulceration regressed from the entire plantar region, only to the right hallux, which was amputated. Final considerations: There was an improvement in nutritional and biochemical parameters until hospital discharge.
