Abstract
In Colombia, football supporter groups have transitioned from collectives associated with violence to agents of social transformation through the implementation of "barrismo social" as an innovative public policy in Latin America. This qualitative study, based on documentary analysis of regulations, institutional reports, and media records of supporter group leaders (2012-2024), characterizes the identity re-signification processes that enabled this change. Four key dynamics are identified in this process: adoption of community practices for social fabric reconstruction, articulation with governmental entities and civil organizations, strengthening of supporter group identity through collaborative networks, and transformation of media narratives. The findings show that "barrismo social" channels football passion toward collective actions with positive impact, establishing itself as a replicable model of social intervention and coexistence in urban contexts affected by violence, not only in Colombia but throughout Latin America.

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.
