Abstract

The popularity of mass-produced, technologically advanced alternatives is causing heritage toys, which are rich in cultural and historical importance, to become increasingly rare. The preservation of cultural legacy for future generations depends on efforts to bring antique toys back to life and incorporate them into modern designs. This study investigates how traditional cultural themes coexist with modern styles to explore how heritage-inspired elements could be included in current toy designs. 500 participants' responses are gathered using a survey-based methodology, which focuses on their preferences for toys with heritage themes. 200 toy buyers were excluded, and the final analysis focused on 300 toy buyers, and participants were chosen according to specific exclusion criteria. When using the Semantic Differential Scale (SDS) to measure consumer perceptions of product satisfaction, feedback questions addressed topics such as design, material quality, functionality, cultural heritage, pricing, and future purchasing intent. It analyses the feedback survey data of heritage-inspired toys using three statistical techniques: cluster analysis, correlation analysis, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). These findings imply that contemporary fused toys perform noticeably better in terms of consumer satisfaction and appeal than traditional-only toys. These findings highlight how fused toys, which combine traditional and modern design features, improve customer preferences, particularly among parents and regular toy purchasers.

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.
