Abstract

This article dives into a research topic that explores ways in which Sun Tzu’s, ‘The Art of War, has influenced Chinese military philosophy and how it is impacting the global business field, even today. As a piece of work that has historical relevance, it has impacted significant leaders in the past including Mao Zedong, and it has been blended with modern-day technology and politics today. This article shows how these ideas are still useful today by using examples from ancient Chinese strategy and the world of global business. It also talks about what these ideas mean for international war and political strategy. Moreover, the paper places great emphasis on the importance of being adept at traditional Chinese military philosophy, especially in modern times.

Keywords : Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Chinese Military Philosophy.

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.
