Valentim-Coelho, Cristina; Saraiva, Joana; Osório, Hugo; Antunes, Marilia; Vaz, Fátima; Neves, Sofia; Pinto, Paula; Bárbara, Cristina; Penque, DeborahObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent-episodes of apneas/hypopneas during sleep, leading to recurrent intermittent-hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. Non-treated OSA can result in cardiometabolic diseases. In this study, we applied a shotgun-proteomics strategy to deeper investigate the red blood cell-(RBC) homeostasis regulation in the context of OSA-severity and their response to six month...

Neves, Sofia; Ferreira, Mafalda; Sousa, Edgar; Topa, Joana; Borges, Janete; Vieira, Cristina P.Research shows lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people are vulnerable to more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The research focused on the perceptions of experiencing ACEs among 36 Portuguese LGBTI people who were exposed to domestic violence by their parents or other family members (M = 34.11; SD = 10.77). Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted and data were subjected to th...
Sexual Harassment in Institutions of Higher Education: Some Critical Insights B...
Neves, Sofia; Ferreira, Mafalda; Topa, Joana; Silva, Estefânia; Correia, Ariana; Sousa, Mafalda; Borges, JaneteAs Portugal lived under a dictatorship for almost 50 years, policies and legislation on women’s rights began to be developed only after the instauration of democracy in 1975 (Monteiro and Ferreira, 2016). In the second half of the 20th century, especially after the feminist movement gained strength, broader discussions about sexual harassment (SH) in Portugal began to emerge. A greater awareness of SH as a form...

Impacto do fumo do cigarro passivo no proteoma humano: em busca de biomarcadore...
Neves, Sofia; Pacheco, Solange A.; Vaz, Fátima; Valentim-Coelho, Cristina; Saraiva, Joana; James, Peter; Simões, Tânia; Penque, DeborahOs não-fumadores expostos ao fumo do cigarro passivo ou, simplesmente fumo passivo (FP), apresentam um risco acrescido de desenvolver diversas doenças graves. No entanto, os mecanismos moleculares que explicam estes efeitos continuam pouco esclarecidos, o que reforça a necessidade de identificar biomarcadores capazes de avaliar o risco associado a esta exposição. Neste estudo, analisámos o proteoma do epitélio ...

Occupational second-hand smoke exposure: A comparative shotgun proteomics study...
Neves, Sofia; Pacheco, Solange; Vaz, Fátima; James, Peter; Simões, Tânia; Penque, DeborahNon-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke (SHS) present risk of developing tobacco smoke-associated pathologies. To investigate the airway molecular response to SHS exposure that could be used in health risk assessment, comparative shotgun proteomics was performed on nasal epithelium from a group of healthy restaurant workers, non-smokers (never and former) exposed and not exposed to SHS in the workplace. HIF1α-...
