Abstract
This study explores the transformative potential of hybrid workforce models in healthcare administration, focusing on their impact on hospital efficiency and staff satisfaction. Hybrid models, which integrate remote and in-person work, offer significant flexibility and innovation. However, they pose unique challenges, such as technology gaps and resistance to change. A cross-sectional study conducted with healthcare professionals across Saudi Arabia highlights the operational benefits of these models, such as improved resource allocation and enhanced staff satisfaction. Nonetheless, barriers such as insufficient infrastructure must be addressed to fully realize their potential. Recommendations include targeted training, investments in technology, and the establishment of unified policies to enhance hybrid workforce adoption in healthcare.

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.
