Abstract

Globalisation and Marxism share similar aspects of pursuing value movements. The main objective of our study is to examine the relationship between culture and globalization through the perspective of Karl Marx's seminal works. The study was conducted through textual analysis of key Marxian texts, including "The German Ideology," “The Future Results of British Rule in India”, “The Origin of Family, Private Property and State”, "Capital" Volume 1, and "The Communist Manifesto." Thematic analyses were conducted to identify recurring themes and concepts related to culture and globalisation. Our analysis showed that social structures, historical context, and production modes were found to significantly influence cultural formations, leading to diverse expressions and identities within and across societies. Globalization presented a complex relationship with cultural values, creating tensions and potential homogenization while also offering opportunities for exchange and transformation. Power dynamics were identified in cultural exchange, with dominant cultures exerting influence and media potentially contributing to homogenization.

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.
