BACKGROUND Limited data exist on the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) among ethnically diverse populations. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of PAD in a multiethnic national sample and examine risk factor control and allostatic load (a marker of dysregulation of the inflammatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular systems) by race/ethnicity among individuals with PAD. ME...

Hypertension is a common risk factor for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Guidelines suggest treating PAD patients to a blood pressure <130/80 mm Hg; therefore, our objective was to explore whether attainment of this target blood pressure is associated with improved outcomes. We performed a post hoc analysis of the INternational VErapamil-SR/Trandolapril STudy, a randomized clinical trial, wh...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) produces abnormal gait and disproportionately affects older individuals. The current study investigated PAD gait biomechanics in younger (<65 yr) and older (>/=65 yr) subjects. The study included 61 patients with PAD (31 younger, age: 57.4 +/- 5.3 yr, and 30 older, age: 71.9 +/- 5.2 yr) and 52 nondisabled age-matched control subjects. Patients with PAD were tes...

Abstract: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is frequently underdiagnosed, in part because of the wide variety of leg symptoms manifested by patients with PAD and in part because of the high prevalence of asymptomatic PAD. In primary care medical practices, 30% to 60% of patients with PAD report no exertional leg symptoms and ≈45% to 50% report exertional leg symptoms that are not ...

Men and women with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers than those without PAD. Observational studies link higher levels of several inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and soluble adhesion molecules, to 1 or more of the following outcomes in people with PAD: more sever...

This technical report gives detail on the results obtained from evaluating the ANGEL Flow Meter (FM) performance. Evaluation metrics include packet loss, CPU and memory usage and the robust of the hash algorithm employed. It has been shown that the FM’s suffered packet loss (more than 10%) when coping with approximately more than 30,000 packets per second and 30,000 flows per second. There has ...

This paper describes the Halo windowing system for the Angel 1, 2] operating system currently being developed at City University. The aim of this windowing system is to provide a clean parallel object-oriented design utilising the uniied resources in the single address space of Angel. Halo provides an object design for a basic window library which can then be extended (subclassed) into the GUI ...

This technical report gives details on the results obtained from evaluating the ANGEL Flow Classifier (FC) performance. Evaluation metrics comprise of accuracy, timeliness, stability, processing speed, and the efficiency of hardware resources usage.
