Abstract

This article has been retracted by the Editorial Board of Cultura: International Journal of Philosophy of Culture and Axiology following a formal investigation in response to a plagiarism complaint.

The investigation determined that substantial portions of the article closely replicate the content, structure, and empirical findings of the following previously published work, without proper attribution:

Müller, M., & Kubátová, J. (2022). Existential Values and Insights in Western and Eastern Management: Approaches to Managerial Self-Development. Philosophy of Management, 21, 219–243. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40926-021-00184-y

The similarities include paraphrased text, identical thematic development, and references to the same case studies and empirical data originally collected by the aforementioned authors. These constitute a serious violation of publication ethics and academic integrity.

In accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines, this article has therefore been formally retracted from the journal’s website

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.
