Abstract

This study examines documentation practices in development-oriented NGOs, focusing on agricultural and social sectors, and their impact on organizational performance and accountability. Using a mixed-methods approach with 250 respondents, the study applies correlation, regression, and paired sample t-tests for analysis. Findings reveal a strong positive influence of documentation practices on organizational effectiveness, while documentation quality shows a weak but significant relationship with accountability. Agricultural NGOs emphasize structured, quantitative records, whereas social development NGOs rely more on qualitative, narrative documentation. The results suggest that integrating both approaches can enhance overall organizational performance. The study highlights the importance of capacity building and digital documentation systems. Limitations include sample scope and sectoral focus, and future research should explore technological integration and broader comparative frameworks.

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.
