Abstract
This article presents a systematic literature review on decent work and social justice, based on 59 academic articles indexed in Scopus and ScienceDirect between 2000 and 2024. Three key dimensions are analyzed: (1) Knowledge management on indicators used to measure decent work, (2) public policies aligned with social justice, and (3) case studies documenting its implementation. The applied methodology included structured search strategies, qualitative analysis, and the development of conceptual cartographies. The findings reveal that decent work has evolved from a normative approach promoted by the ILO to a multidimensional analytical category, linked to sustainability, gender equity, and subjective well-being. Regionally, the studies cover experiences in Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Peru), Africa (Nigeria, South Africa), Asia (India, China, Indonesia), Europe (United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Russia, Belarus), North America (United States), and the Middle East (Yemen). Advances are identified in contextualized measurement and policy design, but also methodological gaps, structural inequalities, and limitations in applying social justice principles in informal or precarious environments. The review concludes with recommendations to strengthen participatory, intersectional, and sustainable approaches in the study and practice of decent work on a global scale.

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.
