Abstract

“Geography is science of earth surface, form, physical features, natural and political divisions, climate, production, population etc., Oxford Dictionary. The meaning of geography has undergone many changes like other subjects, from generation to generation and from age to age in accordance with changing intellectual capacity of various races inhabiting different parts of the world.

Geography has to be studied emphatically special skills and abilities such as observation skill, geography process skills and reasoning ability in geography have to be developed among the students. For this purpose educational technology came for assistance to introduced programmed text learning, computer assisted learning and discovery learning etc. Are being introduced in school curriculum.

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.
