Jeddah-based King Abdulaziz University (KAU) will take part in the 26th conference of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, scheduled for Sept. 19, 2012, in Bologna, Italy. KAU will be represented at the conference by Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi, Chair for Diabetic Foot Research. Professor Hassan bin Ali Al-Zahrani, chair supervisor, said the conference will focus on the latest developments in vascular surgery. He said KAU's participation came at a time to boost the Kingdom's presence at international conferences. He said the Saudi delegates would explore diabetes patients experiencing the problem of amputations in Arab countries, and its relationship with peripheral atherosclerosis.
