Abstract

In the 1790s, with the influx of strange immigrants and violent conflicts, how to deal with the tension between sympathetic communities based on resonance and "non-citizens" who make different voices has become an increasingly concerned issue for American intellectuals. As the first American novelist who fully realized the limitations of Locke's rational faculty and discussed it, Charles Brockden Brown took the "yellow fever" that broke out in 1973 as the breakthrough point. At first, he used the epidemic disease to amplify the defects of the sympathetic community. Hence, he revealed its inapplicability in the United States, and then took contagions as a metaphor, and conceived another more inclusive community model based on various strange and external factors.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
