Abstract
Global economic dynamics influence the stability of Latin American families, and Montería (Colombia) is no exception. In this context, financial education is an essential tool for the proper management of economic resources. The purpose of this study was to determine access to financial education processes among families living in socioeconomic strata 1 and 2 in the city of Montería. A mixed-methods study was conducted using a 23-question questionnaire administered to 138 families. The results showed limited financial literacy skills, poor planning abilities, and a conception of money focused on accumulation rather than on its role in improving quality of life. The conclusion is that it is necessary to strengthen financial education through pedagogical strategies that promote family economic empowerment and the useful distribution of monetary resources that contribute to personal, family, and social well-being.

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.
