Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the exercise of judicial discretion in the enforcement of child visitation orders in contexts of high family conflict, interference behaviors, and parental alienation within Peruvian case law. Methodologically, it was conducted as basic research using a qualitative approach and a scoping review design, supported by the triangulation of scientific literature, statutory regulations, and both national and international jurisprudence. The findings revealed a gap between doctrinal and scientific developments concerning interference behaviors and parental alienation and the criteria employed by courts to resolve disputes related to child visitation. Furthermore, the analysis showed that, in judicial practice, the assessment of a child's emotional well-being relies primarily on psychological reports, without the systematic use of standardized assessment instruments such as the Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (Child-PARQ). This limitation reduces the objectivity of evidentiary assessment and hinders a more reliable determination of the impact of interference behaviors on the parent-child relationship. The study concludes that forensic assessment practices should be strengthened through scientifically validated evaluation protocols. It also highlights the need for enhanced judicial reasoning and a reasoned exercise of judicial discretion that integrates available scientific evidence, proper evaluation of evidence, and the effective protection of the best interests of the child.

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.
