Melo L, Rodrigues A, Cabral E, Tanaka T, Goligher E, Brochard L, et al.
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2021 Nov; 296:103827. PMID: 34808586
We aimed to investigate whether changes in prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxyhemoglobin (OHb) and deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) associates with inspiratory muscle effort during inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) in healthy participants. Participants performed...

Wolfstadt J, Atrey A, Nowak L, Stavrakis A, Melo L, Backstein D, et al.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg . 2021 Sep; 29(21):929-936. PMID: 34570742
Introduction: To compare acute complication and mortality rates for operatively treated, closed, isolated, low-energy geriatric knee fractures (distal femur [DFF] or tibial plateau [TPF]) with hip fractures (HFs). Methods: This...

Khoshbin A, Wu J, Ward S, Melo L, Schemitsch E, Waddell J, et al.
JB JS Open Access . 2020 Oct; 5(2):e0066. PMID: 33123666
Background: The ideal bearing combination for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains debatable. Highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is widely used, but long-term wear rates are not fully known, nor is how...

Nell H, Castelli L, Bertani D, Jipson A, Meagher S, Melo L, et al.
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil . 2020 May; 12:16. PMID: 32467763
Background: Decreased oxygenation of muscle may be accentuated during exercise at high altitude. Monitoring the oxygen saturation of muscle (SmO) during hand grip exercise using near infrared spectroscopy during acute...

Khoshbin A, Atrey A, Chaudhry H, Nowak L, Melo L, Stavrakis A, et al.
J Orthop Trauma . 2020 Mar; 34(8):424-428. PMID: 32168201
Objectives: Compare acute complication and mortality rates of geriatric patients with acetabular fractures (AFs) matched to hip fractures (HFs). Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: American College of Surgeons National Surgical...

Derbakova A, Khuu S, Ho K, Lewis C, Ma T, Melo L, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2020 Jan; 52(7):1610-1616. PMID: 31977643
Purpose: This study aimed to compare muscle activation of the diaphragm (DIA), scalenes (SA), parasternal intercostals (PS), and sternomastoid (SM) during submaximal intermittent neck flexion (INF) versus submaximal inspiratory threshold...

Int J Neurosci . 2018 Sep; 129(2):195-203. PMID: 30173620
Purpose Of The Study: the aim of this study was to synthesize PFC fNIRS outcomes on the effects of cognitive tasks compared to resting/baseline tasks in healthy adults from studies...

Vorona S, Sabatini U, Al-Maqbali S, Bertoni M, Dres M, Bissett B, et al.
Ann Am Thorac Soc . 2018 Mar; 15(6):735-744. PMID: 29584447
Rationale: Respiratory muscle weakness is common in critically ill patients; the role of targeted inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in intensive care unit rehabilitation strategies remains poorly defined. Objectives: The primary...

Clin Physiol Funct Imaging . 2017 Sep; 38(4):554-565. PMID: 28940670
Assessing inspiratory muscle deoxygenation and blood flow can provide insight into anaerobic stress, recruitment strategies and mechanisms of inspiratory muscle limitation. Therefore, this review aimed to synthesize measurements of inspiratory...
