Accuracy of Gasometry in Electrolyte Evaluation
Sousa, Francisco José de; Cochito Sousa, Sofia; Vaz, Sara; Abecasis, FranciscoBackground: The measurement of sodium, potassium and chloride is widely used in clinical practice. It can be done through a serum or gasometric sample. The ease of blood collection and the fast availability of results would make gasometry the ideal method. However, the literature data on the accuracy of gasometry are not consensual, thus, the current method of choice is the serum sample. We intended to compare ...

FoxM1 repression during human aging leads to mitotic decline and aneuploidy-dri...
Macedo, Joana Catarina; Vaz, Sara; Bakker, Bjorn; Ribeiro, Rui; Bakker, Petra Lammigje; Escandell, Jose Miguel; Ferreira, Miguel Godinho; Medema, RenéAneuploidy, an abnormal chromosome number, has been linked to aging and age-associated diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show, through direct live-cell imaging of young, middle-aged, and old-aged primary human dermal fibroblasts, that aneuploidy increases with aging due to general dysfunction of the mitotic machinery. Increased chromosome mis-segregation in elderly mitoti...
Linking migration and parent academic involvement: evidence from Angola
Vaz, SaraThis study examines the effect of past migration experience on the multiple facets of parent involvement. We run OLS and two-stage least squares regressions on a representative sample of catholic schools in the city of Luanda, Angola. Our results do not suggest a different level of academic involvement by returned migrants. We find, however, that parent level of education, wealth, family composition and school ...
