Abstract
With the rapid development and widespread adoption of digital technology, digital media convergence has become an important trend in the development of the media industry in the new era. In order to comprehensively explore the trends and changes of digital media convergence in the new era, this essay first analyzes the essence and characteristics of digital media convergence, especially examining what changes will arise under the backdrop of new technologies in the modern era. Subsequently, utilizing theories from various disciplines such as communication studies, political science, and film studies, it dissects the changing features of digital media convergence trends, focusing on aspects like content innovation, technological advancement, and content dissemination. Qualitative and quantitative methods, including literature review, case analysis, trend analysis, and mind mapping, are employed to investigate these issues. Finally, from a theoretical perspective, it puts forth strategies and recommendations for developing digital media convergence, providing a theoretical reference for research and practice in related fields.

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.
