Abstract

The research investigates how digital financial systems impact the stability of remittances which migrant-sending countries receive when their economies face crisis situations. The analysis employs a panel compiled from Global Findex 2021 the World Development Indicators and the IMF World Economic Outlook although data, from these sources do not consistently align and demand modifications that complicate analysis. The research uses three main estimation techniques which include two-way fixed effects and panel quantile regressions and a dynamic GMM approach to study how digital usage affects sending-country GDP variations. The research demonstrates that digital payment systems which include mobile money platforms enable families to preserve their financial stability when their income becomes unpredictable. The research shows minimal effects which sometimes produce conflicting results yet provides useful information for discussions about economic regulation and disaster resistance in developing nations.

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.
