Thrilled to see our work published in ATS Blue Journal. This study completed a physiological characterization of adults with #PRISm #spirometry patterns, which included: flow/volume loops, static lung volumes, DLCO, chest CT scans, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing #CPET.

Nick Tiller, Ph.D. and I tackled sex-differences in ultramarathon running by analyzing races with equal male and female participation. What happens to female performance when you eliminate participation bias? 🏃♀️💨

Enthusiastic Keynote presentation on mechanisms of exertional #Dyspnea in ppl with #COPD-HF overlap by Dr Alberto Neder #Dyspnea2024 Respiratory Investigation Unit The Dyspnea Society 🫁 ❤️🩹


Dr. Magnus Ekstrom quizzing up and coming researcher Dr. Bob Banzett on #dyspnea The Dyspnea Society #dyspnea2024


Dyspnea Society meeting is wrapped up for another year. There were many great presentations, but special thanks to the earlier career researchers. Congratulations to Rachelle Aucoin, Félix Girard & Max Olsson who won best 3-min thesis style presentation #Dyspnea2024


Thank you The Dyspnea Society for a truly inspiring conference. It was great meeting and learning from fellow dyspnea scientists ! See you in Sweden in 2026 🇸🇪🫁🤝


Need to quantify severity of exertional breathlessness & compare to normative responses? That is, how abnormal is your patient's #breathlessness? See our review for a guide on how using #CPET or 6MWT 👉 journals.lww.com/co-supportivea… treatable traits CERPLMcGill Dennis Jensen The Dyspnea Society

Researchers at McGill’s Clinical Exercise and Respiratory Physiology Laboratory CERPLMcGill are seeking participants for a study examining how breathing mechanical loads affect inspiratory muscle activation and breathlessness during exercise. Learn more: mcgill.ca/x/w9W


My PhD student Félix Girard is recruiting healthy adults for his research on #breathlessness. Please RT and consider participating if you live in the #Montreal and surrounding area. Volunteers are compensated for their time/participation 🚲 🫁


The mMRC and CAT failed to identify many people with abnormally high exertional breathlessness assesses with #CPET, supporting the role of standardized exercise testing in the evaluation of people with #COPD. doi.org/10.1016/j.ches… CERPLMcGill Dennis Jensen CHEST


Going to be a great seminar this Friday. CERPLMcGill Dennis Jensen


📢📰 Despite worse clinical and patient-reported outcomes, older adults with #asthma-#COPD coexistence do not have more severely impaired nor a faster rate of decline in #exercise capacity compared to those with COPD alone 🫁🚴♂️ publications.ersnet.org/content/erjor/… ERS publications
