Abstract

Colombian teachers are targets of victimizing acts that threaten fundamental rights and the development of human capabilities. This research sought to understand the impact on these rights and capabilities from the perspective of teachers who are victims of violence, specifically regarding protection, affection, identity, participation, leisure, recreation, and freedom in the department of Córdoba, Colombia. A qualitative methodology was adopted, based on a hermeneutic phenomenological design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten teachers from different locations in this region of the country. The results reveal serious impacts on the personal, family, and social spheres, which act as limitations on achieving optimal levels of satisfaction of axiological needs . These impacts include unsafe environments, deteriorated social relationships, fragmented family ties, a tendency to retreat into silence, and limited participation due to fear of disagreement and/or retaliation; restrictions on enjoyment, recreation, and healthy coexistence. It is concluded that, despite the emotional, psychological and family effects suffered, it is essential to recognize their memories as part of a strategy for building peace from the school in territories affected by violence in this country.

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.
