Abstract
This study investigates the cognitive ability and study habits of higher secondary school students in district Srinagar and Budgam of Kashmir valley. Employing a descriptive research design, the study sampled 200 students (100 male, 100 female; 100 rural, 100 urban) using a systematic random sampling technique. Cognitive ability was assessed using the Cognitive Ability Test (CAT) by Gupta and Lakhani (2018), and study habits were measured by the Study Habits Scale (SHS) by Rani and Jaidka (2015). Data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, independent samples t-tests, and Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation. The findings shed light on the levels of cognitive ability and study habits among the student population, gender and locality-based differences, and the relationship between these two critical academic factors. This research offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and parents aiming to enhance academic outcomes in higher secondary education.

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.
