Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alvin J Ing"
- Alvin J Ing's research primarily focuses on advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for respiratory diseases, particularly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease, highlighting methods like ultrathin bronchoscopy and cryobiopsy.
- He has conducted significant clinical trials investigating the efficacy of endoscopic interventions, such as polymer foam in managing collateral ventilation and the impact of endobronchial valves on ventilation and perfusion in severe COPD patients.
- Ing also explores pulmonary health issues related to aspiration risk in COPD, emphasizing the need for understanding laryngopharyngeal sensitivity, which may affect swallow function and overall patient management.
