Abstract

Yazidism, whose members today live in Europe and America rather than in this region, is a religion of Middle Eastern origin. ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) came to the world agenda with the massacre of hundreds of people in Iraq in 2014, and even many people in the Middle East became aware of Yazidism and Yazidis with this incident. Some of the oldest homes of Yazidis are in the borders of the Republic of Turkey. Hakkâri and Mardin are among the most important of these regions. In this study, Yazidi's perception of Turkish Society was investigated. In Turkey, comments about Yazidis were investigated in dictionary creation platforms by making nationally accessible and up-to-date definitions on the internet to achieve this aim. In consequence of the study, it was determined that there are three such dictionaries in Turkey, and the data of the study were obtained by a total of 173 definitions and interpretations about the items “Yazidis,” and “Yazidism” were classified in itself in each of these three dictionaries. The study determined the existence of a series of perceptions and images differing about Yazidism and Yazidis in Turkish Society. Among the most prominent among these, it was understood that the stereotype of Yazidis in Turkey is “demonists.” However, the existence of a powerful humanist approach as a separate pole has also been determined. The perception of Yazidism in Turkish Society, like its thing, is syncretic, eclectic, and unsteady.

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.
