Abstract
Easterine Kire is a ‘Naga’ writer who has dexterously illustrated the socio-cultural existence of the Naga people. She has illuminated the distinctiveness of Naga’s oral culture, the folklore, traditional beliefs, and various superstitions predominant in Naga society. This paper examines the novel “Sky is My Father: A Naga Village Remembered”, authored by the esteemed Naga writer Easterine Kire. It seeks to describe the copious ways in which cultural conflicts have nurtured a hybridized culture and to re-examine the history of Nagaland from an insider’s perspective. Cultural dislodgment is a prominent theme in this novel. It analyses that how modernization and colonialism have affected the Naga people of Northeast India. Besides, the article aims to examine about how British colonialism and the spread of Christianity destroyed traditional Naga culture, including its customs, rituals, and sense of community.

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.
