The ventilatory response to exercise may improve after 1) bariatric surgery in morbid obesity, and 2) CPAP treatment in obesity with OSA, but the prognostic utility of VE/VCO2 in these patients is unclear. bit.ly/3Gl6rHW Mike Stickland Devin Phillips Andrew Brotto

Happy to see our work from Mike Stickland lab published online! Thank you to all co-authors for their contributions. Miranda Kirby Dennis Jensen @SanjaLovesData Sean van Diepen doi.org/10.1016/j.ches…

Excited to share our most recent publication in Journal of Applied Physiology where we examined the impact of posture in pulmonary vascular function between endurance-trained and untrained individuals! Andrew D'Souza Mike Stickland Sophie Collins Sean van Diepen doi.org/10.1152/japplp…

Thrilled to see our work published in a special issue of Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical! We found that carotid chemoreceptor inhibition improves exercise tolerance in participants with elevated carotid chemoreceptor sensitivity sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
