Abstract

This study examines the relationship between urban development and consumption patterns in Bucaramanga, focusing on the impact of the Centro Comercial Cacique, the region's largest shopping center. Using a quantitative approach grounded in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system data, we analyze visitor flows, sales performance, and purchasing behaviors alongside surrounding urban dynamics. From a total universe of 823,734 transactional records, we examined a cleaned sample of 81,853 unique clients with complete demographic information. The results reveal significant changes in consumer habits and mobility patterns influenced by architectural design and the mall's strategic location. Additionally, a catalytic effect on nearby urban development is identified, particularly in the Provenza, Cabecera, and Mutis districts. The findings provide valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and commercial developers, emphasizing the importance of integrating real-time consumer data into sustainable urban planning strategies.

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.
