Abstract
Muga is an Assamese word which indicates the golden brown (amber) colour of the cocoon. Muga silk is extracted from Muga silkworm which is mainly confined to the Brahmaputra valley of Assam and foothills of East Garo hills of Meghalaya. It particularly suits rural based farmers, entrepreneurs and artisans as it requires low investment but with potential for relatively higher returns. Rearing of Muga is an age old culture for the people of Assam. Assam has monopoly in producing Muga silk and the demand is also very high in national and international level. Although muga culture has potential of higher return but the muga farmers are tempted to shift from muga farming to rubber plantation and tea plantation due to change in climate conditions, pollution, predators, diseases etc. The study helps to understand the income generation of commercial Muga seed crops in the study area.

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.
