A review of evidence by a team of Canadian and U.S.-based researchers led by Mike Stickland shows that for most people, using face masks during moderate to heavy exercise does not affect lung function. Read more about it in folio: ow.ly/pxJp50DWp4m #ualberta #ualbertadom

The minute ventilation/CO2 production ratio is useful when evaluating exercise responses. This review describes the physiology of the minute ventilation/CO2 production ratio and the ratio response in endurance athletes, asthma and obesity. bit.ly/3mFdr81

Thrilled to see my former lab mate Andrew Brotto get this study published. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this project. Was a pleasure working with Andrew and Mike Stickland. Fun fact, we used a 100+ Liter Douglas bag during this study! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Breathlessness in adults with Long-COVID is not explained by exercise intolerance or altered cardiovascular or pulmonary responses to exercise. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Impressive presentations at lightning rounds at #crrn2022 by 8 trainees, congratulations to all & thanks for sharing with us their amazing research! CIHR-ICRH | L'ISCR des IRSC Canadian Thoracic Society Cdn Lung Association AllerGen Network

Happy to share a recent paper by PhD student Andrew Brotto from our lab showing that a single breath of NO does not alter pulmonary vascular pressures. Good support for the use of DLNO! tinyurl.com/h26crw48
