Abstract
Maritime trade throughout history has played an important role in the economic development of countries worldwide (Falla & Camargo, 2018), for which port infrastructure plays an important role in this. However, few studies have been dedicated to studying the influence it has on the movement of cargo in port terminals, so this research aims to analyze the port infrastructure of port terminals in the Colombian Caribbean and its impact on traffic. . Colombian port, using evaluation analysis and linear regression models, as tools to identify patterns that lead to its determination. The results showed that there is a compensation between the infrastructure variables analyzed, indicators that relate these variables and the tons moved between the port terminals analyzed. Likewise, there is statistically significant evidence of a relationship between these variables, which can account for the influence of one against the other.

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.
