The pulmonary circulation is a low-pressure, low-resistance circuit whose primary function is
to deliver deoxygenated blood to, and oxygenated blood from, the pulmonary capillary bed …

Purpose This review recalls the principles developed over a century to describe trans-
capillary fluid exchanges concerning in particular the lung during exercise, a specific …

Nearly forty years ago, Professor Dempsey delivered the 1985 ACSM Joseph B. Wolffe

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, characterized by dyspnoea and arterial desaturation
while upright, is a rare complication of acute respiratory distress syndrome. We report here 2 …

In this paper, we model breathing at the level of a human alveolus by developing a novel
mathematical framework that links pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange. Unlike …

Background: As demand for cardiopulmonary exercise test using a supine position has
increased, so have the testing options. However, it remains uncertain whether the existing …

Introduction: Endurance exercise at altitude can increase cardiac output and pulmonary
vascular pressure to levels that may exceed the stress-tolerability of the alveolar-capillary …
