The University of Arizona's Sairam Parthasarathy, MD, is featured in the In Health article of the latest edition of Tucson Lifestyle magazine—the topic, “Sleep Apnea: There’s More to the Snore.”
The article appears on page 43 of the January 2019 issue (click image at right and below to enlarge).
The piece seeks to dispel myths about sleep apnea that may confuse the issue of proper sleep health.
“It is important for patients to understand the symptoms, signs, tresting and treatment of various forms of sleep apnea,” Dr. Parthasarathy—professor of medicine, interim chief for the University of Arizona Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, and director of the UA Health Sciences Center for Sleep and Circadian Sciences and Sleep Disorders Center at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson.
His research focuses on the relationship between sleep, breathing, and inflammation in both ambulatory and critically ill patients. Additionally, he has been involved in clinical trials of novel modes of ventilatory assistance for patients with sleep-disordered breathing (such as servo-ventilation and volume-assured pressure support) as well as health services research aimed at improving healthcare delivery and promoting CPAP adherence in patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
