P.A.D. Fellowship in vascular medicine was for Diane Treat-Jacobson, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing in Minneapolis, MN introduced. She and her colleagues for their work in the study were awarded to the effectiveness of arm ergometry to improve disadvantages treadmill exercise training in patients with foot claudication, published in the journal Medicine Vascular (14:203-13, 2009). Previous studies have shown that exercise on a treadmill can help people with PAD go further and with less pain. Mr. Treat-Jacobson? The study compared the traditional treadmill exercise with a training program with the help of a dynamic arm, arm ergometer, a device table in which the pedals move their arms in a circular motion. The study showed that the dynamic arm endurance training can improve walking ability in PAD patients run similar programs on a treadmill can be a good alternative.

P.A.D. Fellowship in Epidemiology Medical / Preventive Professor Curt Diehm excellent. He and his colleagues are recognized for their work on the study, mortality and vascular morbidity in elderly patients with asymptomatic versus symptomatic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (Circulation. 120:2053-61, 2009).


Professor Diehm

is head of the Medical Department of Internal Medicine / Vascular Academic University Hospital of the University of Heidelberg in Germany. His study was the risk of vascular morbidity and mortality in elderly symptomatic compared with asymptomatic PAD in primary care. The study confirms that the risk of mortality was similar in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with PAD and was significantly higher than those without the disease. He concluded that P.A.D. Diagnosis has important prognostic significance in primary care.

Joseph Fine Glass, PhD, received the Best PAD Research Award in the vascular intervention. Fine Glass Research is a professor of medicine at the Division of General Internal Medicine and Institute of Health Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. It is a health services researcher with a degree in Public Policy Analysis. Dr. Glass and colleagues were fine for their study, recognized the perioperative results and survival without amputation of lower limbs after the bypass surgery in a hospital in California, 1996-1999, with follow-up to 2004 (Journal of Vascular Surgery. 50:776 -783, 2009). The study involved over 28,000 patients from the hospital in California held 345th The study showed that patients in high-volume hospitals better perioperative results and long-term lower extremity bypass surgery had to. Risk factors such as age, concomitant diseases, gangrene and emergency department or nursing home were associated with an increased risk of side effects. African-American and Hispanic patients had much higher amputation, but had no higher risk of mortality after controlling for background factors.
