Abstract

The article addresses the need to renew and expand the meaning attributed to critique within the field of social work. It argues that it is imperative to broaden the interpretations of critique in the evolution of social work to embrace alternative ways of understanding the critical, aiming to elevate the poetic dimension of human dwelling in the world. The article asserts that critique, when it evolves into a poetic form, enables a deeper understanding of the subjects' experiences, addressing aspects that transcend the rigor of method and concept. In this sense, the role of social work is questioned in relation to the complexities inherent in contemporary society.

Keywords : Social work, critique, poetics, epistemology, comprehension.

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.
